I would say, that just be sure you park yourself in the right board. DEFINTELY don't go into Trying To Get Pregant with a big "OMG I"M PREGNANT" if you haven't been in there for a little bit, just head right into 1st Trimester or something like that. Know what I mean?
There is alot of etiquette stuff that goes on that you can't pick up anywhere else and totally depends on the board. So head into the board you think you'd like to get involved with and lurk for a while, see how everyone interacts with eachother, etc. After that, tread lightly. Introduce yourself and your situation and go from there.
Alot of people really appreciate you searching the board for answers to your questions before you post the same question someone posted a couple hours before.
If you're trying to get KU'd alot of people will recommend signing up with Fertility Friend to track your cycle. It makes keeping track of whats going on in there A LOT easier. You can sign up by clicking on my signature ticker if thats where you are with your journey.
Hope that sheds a little light. Most of the women are SUPER nice you just have to jump in and see for yourself! =]
GL to you!
My advice would be to lurk for a little while before posting, to get the feel of the board. Also, before you ask questions, take a quick look down the page and make sure it wasn't asked an hour before.
