Positive reasons you stay on this board!

List 'em!
Mine: It's not about learning anything new (at this point anyway). I have gathered a lot of information from when I just started out regarding OPKs, charting, etc. So the reason I "stay" on the board is all the friendships I've made. I want to keep up with the girls I have formed bonds with.
...aaaaand GO!

Re: Positive reasons you stay on this board!
To see your sweet face
The information, encouragement, wake-up calls, laughs, sobs.
Mostly I like knowing I'm not alone.
This exactly! It is great to have so many people to go through this with, especially since my PCOS diagnosis!
TTC since 2010
lots of IUIs and 1 IVF all BFNs
FET currently on hold
It is the friendships I've made and the wealth of information.
I love that many people (even "newbs") bring new ideas and info to the board sometimes.
BFP #1 - BFP #2 - Blog
and Luck to my BFPB StephK!!- Emma is here!!
1) It's amazing to talk to so many other women who understand exactly what I'm going through.
2) I have some awesome friends here now!!!
Much of the same reasons! And it is nice to come on when I am feeling down about the TTC process and know that I am not alone!
Started TTC #1: July 2010 DX: PCOS
BFP: 12/5/10 Natural M/C: 12/17/10 (5w6d)
Cycle 10 - 50mg Clomid + TI = BFN
Cycle 11 - 50mg Clomid + IUI converted to TI = BFN
Cycle 12 - 50mg Clomid + IUI #1 = BFN
Cycle 13 - Clomid Break + Charting + Dr. Recommendations = BFN
Cycle 14 - Clomid Break + Charting + meeting with URO (all clear!) = BFP!!
Beta #1 - 105 Beta #2 - 336! 1st U/S (@5w4d)- gest. sac and yolk sac, measuring 5w2d 2nd U/S - 1/16 (will be 8w2d) Stick and grow, little bean! My Ovulation Chart
* Congrats to my girl SarahRuthG on her new baby boy!*
THIS!
I would be completely clueless without this board. I was the naive one that thought you could just 'have sex' and get KU. Charting? WTH is charting?
**wake up call to MrsJT**
edit: Also because no one knows we are TTC (except sister) so this is a great place to be obsessed- and not feel like I am on an island by myself. Thanks girls!
This. No one IRL knows about us TTC#2. I like having an outlet to discuss whats up. DH gets tired of talking about getting pregnant
On some days, it is hard to remember why I continue to post here. Then a friend posts something that makes me smile and I remember all over again why I keep coming back. I continue to post for the laughter, the friends and the distraction from the phantom symptoms or frustration when waiting to O.
This exactly. I have formed so many close friendships from this board.
**TTC since 10/2009** **BFP 4/15/12- Dx Molar Pregnancy- Surgery 5/15/12 & 5/22/12** **BFP 1/23/14- 1st Beta (1/24/14) 171 2nd Beta (1/28/14) 860**
1. Knowing that I'm not alone in my TTC journey
2. Learning new things every day from you wonderful ladies
3. Though I haven't formed any "bonds" with anyone, It's usually pleasant to come on here and read all you lovely ladies posts!
Maybe you missed the point of the thread?
bfp 1 - m/c 1.31.11 @ 10 weeks
bfp 2 - baby born via c-section on 5.4.12 @ 37 weeks

bfp 6 - surprise! baby born via RCS on 11.13.16 @ 38 weeks
This made me laugh out loud!
Dur, I just realized you said POSITIVE reasons...and thats not very positive lol.
Then that would be because of the information. I had been charting to avoid so I wasn't really concerned about the actual signs of O'ing or what my charts would look like after O took place.
When I first came on here, I had NO clue. I thought the second we BD'ed off BCP I would be KU! (Considering my mom has burned it in my brain that I would get KU if I missed even 1 pill. Awkward, I know.) I also had never heard of temping, charting and all that good stuff. So all of the information is what keeps me on here, and hopefully some friends along the way!
Because.....
1. I love "talking" with or just reading posts from all of you ladies (<3 Melisaa!)
2. This board can be very entertaining!
* I have learned SO much from the girls on this board
* I look forward to chatting every day
* I love knowing that there are girls I can talk to who are going through the same thing that I am- who can encourage me, help me, support me (and I can do the same for them)
* I enjoy getting to know you girls and forming friendships/bonds
* It keeps me from going crazy through the TTC process and 2WW

Learning, helping, and this - keeping up with the lovely ladies
I've gotten to know since I came online just a few short months ago.
I also come on just to chat!
I love seeing all the BFP's!
1) I have learned a TON from you ladies.
2) I work FAR too much, and this board is a great way to take a break.
3) I love seeing BFP announcements!
4) If I didn't have this board, I would drive MH batty talking about TTC all the time.
I love the girls who I have gotten close with!
I love the support we share we have for one another.
I love being able to discuss how I feel and know that at least one person (usually more) feels the same way i do!
1. All the info: FF, temping & charting, CM
2. The sharing of experiences is invaluable.
I have learned more about myself in the past month than my last 27 years. This place is a wealth of information.
I really enjoy chatting and getting to know everyone, and knowing that I am not alone.
I want to stay because I am still learning, and I want to help others as they come to the boards.
Thanks ladies!

Number one reason is because no one knows we are ttc, so this is a great outlet for me!
Also - being in the same boat as others, learning about TTC and having support of others.
