**ATTENTION NEWBS! RE: DRIVE BY BFP'S**

in Trying to Get Pregnant

ATTENTION NEWBS!!

A drive by BFP is when someone who has not posted regularly on here, sometimes not at all, announces their BFP on this board. There are several reasons this is considered annoying:

1. This board is a tight knit group of ladies who share their TTC journey together, good or bad. If the poster has only posted a few times on here randomly and not made the effort to get to know us or share with us, then why would we be happy or extend congrats to a complete stranger? Anyone who lurks on GP should know that their drive by will not be received well. Why not just go to 1st Tri?

2. A drive by BFP is considered insensitive to those who are struggling with TTC on here. Drive by's are the equivalent of walking into a room of strangers and shouting, "I'M PREGNANT!!!," and then expecting congrats. While some of you newbs may have not reached the point where a drive by annoys you yet, trust me, you will.

So, what have we learned? Drive by's are not kosher on GP, and DO NOT ENCOURAGE THEM!!!!

    I haven't been on this board long, but on another board I belong to, the thing that always gets me re: BFP announcements is when people feel the need to announce it with these disclaimers:

    "We weren't even really trying!"
    or
    "First Time's a Charm - BFP!"  <----- Actual subject heading
    or
    "After three long months!"

    Why the need to include how easy it was for you?  Just be happy with the BFP.

    While some of you newbs may have not reached the point where a drive by annoys you yet, trust me, you will.

    I've only been on this board a month, and they already annoy me.

    Thanks for posting this.

    Ugh, I lack the strength to respond to any and all BPF drivebys today. I woke up in a foul mood and taking the time and energy to reply will only cause it to worsen.

    You are 100% correct. I am aiming more for the audience who does not know what they are and why no one likes them here.

    Wow. I have to say I'm shocked by this post and all the follow ups. I guess I am considered a "newbie" and not necessarily proud to be at this point in time. I don't add much to the conversations or posts around here but I will say that I learn from you, cry, and celebrate with everyone when I read them. I look for hope on this board and when I do read "BFP" and "Only been trying for a few months" I feel hopeful for myself and everyone else who is struggling trying to conceive. A newbie or not, they want the same as all of us. I won't be adding to the conversation on this board and will continue to be hopeful to move onto the "First Trimester" board as soon as possible. I kept the faith that I could add my BFP positive message to this board and maybe bring another woman some hope as they have brought to me. Unfortunately I won't be passing my message along when the time comes...after reading all of this. Good luck to everyone.
