TTC After a Loss

Have you "jumped ship" off other boards?

Since my 2 mc's I just can't seem to post on any non-loss related board. I used to go on 24+ a lot, and BOTB occasionally, but I just can't stand to be on those boards anymore. I feel badly, because I've "known" some of the 24+ ladies for 3 years now...

Anyone else abandon their other boards?

Re: Have you "jumped ship" off other boards?

  • I didn't join the boards until after my first loss but I feel like I won't be headed to other boards.

  • I did. I was on getting pregnant board on thenest.com for a while until I got my BFP. Posted there somewhat sporadically when I was pregnant. Then stopped going there all together. 

    Felt like I didn't have a relationship with anyone there, I wasn't TTC again yet, and because I didn't have a relationship with anyone there I wasn't ever happy for anyone's BFP.

  • I go back to TTGP occasionally but I don't post there as much as I did before I got pregnant. I just feel like I don't have as much to contribute, and the topics and questions got repetitive.

    I was also bitter towards some of the posts there where the girls would whine about not wanting to have sex even though they were Oing, during the time when I wasn't allowed to have sex because I was still healing from my D&C. I didn't want to be angry and mean towards them because they weren't saying anything bad, so I just couldn't comment and kind of stopped posting there regularly.

  • I posted on my anniversary board before my m/c but nowhere else on the bump. I still post over there regularly but that board is much slower. Since I've been here, I've backed off posting on the mc/pgl board quite a bit but obviously that isn't related to my loss.

    This...I was really only on TTGP before I got pregnant.  Now they just annoy me (not so much the people who were there when I was, but the new people).

    I totally LOL'd and thumbs-up to the post secret that said something about feeling sorry for the DHs because the TTGPers only have sex when ovulating.

  • No, my main home has always been BOTB and I think it always will be. Though I find myself lurking here more and more.

  • I used to post a lot over on Whats Cooking on the Nest and since the losses I can't seem to be polite enough to post over there Zip it!

  • I started out on the Miscarriage and this board in January but mostly just lurked for a couple months. Then I pretty much stopped getting online for anything altogether for a few more months and once we got pregnant I joined the March birth club but obviously had to leave it. I'm here and plan on staying at only the loss boards from here on out. And I'm hoping to be more than just a lurker. Cool

    Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  • I joined the bump to join the Oct2010 board. An IRL friend told me about it, and I thought it was cool that I would be able to compare notes with other Oct mommies. 

    So, obviously, I jumped ship from that board. Since my loss, I've posted on MC/PGL, TTCAL, and the IF board.
