I've been off and on for a couple months but decided to start charting and hopped in to the discussions tonight. I hope I'm not like breaking etiquette by just posting away but oh well.

I've been actively posting for a few months now... so I would say jump right in! There are a few people who might bite a little bit for a dumb question... but most people are really nice and helpful. What I would say is DEFINITELY learn the Bump Board Glossary - because I'm still referring back to that all the time so I know what people are talking about!! haha. Also, next month will be my first month charting if this month isn't a success so definitely look into that if you're not already doing it.
I guess I'm "new" but I'm TTC #2 and was a big poster during my 1st PG in 06-07. However, the format has completely changed and when I was on there were no "points" or ranks (as you can see I've been on the knot, nest and now the bump since 04). However, to these GP ladies I'm new so....hi!!

Hey hey! I'm not sure how long you've been around, but my little piece of newb wisdom.... lurk lurk lurk...
Looking foward to getting to know you
This is great advice. Best way to avoid unnecessary flames!
so is just hopping in bad?? I don't want to make enemies....
It can be bad if you haven't lurked and don't know the personalities, language, etc of the board. This post seems to be serving as a decent intro though. :-)

It's a public discussion board, it should never be bad to jump in. And people will always find a reason to flame.
:shrug: My best advice for being online with any group is to try and be polite. And remember that some people take the anonymous factor as a reason to be rude.
I've seen more helpful people here than rude ones though.

No no, you'll be fine... the ladies here are full of info. Every so often there are people who ask uber stupid questions that get flamed and they could have avoided it by just doing some reading.
Didn't mean to scare you! You'll learn a lot here... I love that I can feed my ttc obsesssion here
Cool, I did something productive! I just started my first cycle charting yesterday. I'm using fertility friend. It's really user friendly I like it so far. I guess I can't say a whole lot after two days though.

I have a small ttc obsession but it seems to be growing. I think being on here will keep my husband a little more sane.

This is my first cycle charting also...18 days in and I am anxiously awaiting FF to show me that I have O'd! Thus far, I find charting empowering.

Nope, jumping is fine sometimes (particularly if you are already knowledgeable about chartin and such) as long as you make sure you aren't asking something that has already been asked 5 times that day
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
Hi all!! I've been here for a while now and used to post all the time when I was PG with DD2 but things were a little different then and I have a new SN. So hello to you ladies. I am really looking forward to chatting

I'm gonna test tomorrow if my temp doesn't drop again. Otherwise I think AF might be on her way This is only my 2nd month temping so not sure how long my LP is. Last month it was 12 days. This month it seems longer but my temps are still going down.

Thank you so much. I have been VERY hopeful this month, but then again I have been that way every month. So I guess I am trying not to get my hopes up too high. But I hope I will have good news to post tomorrow!!
Re: Hey newbies...

Though after several days of non-stop reading, I don't feel as shiny new.
