*peeking in* I feel lost-where do I belong?
I know that this is a silly question, but I'm having a hard time. I keep lurking over on IF, and was really confused because I didn't recognize anyone. But I don't feel like I belong here either because I haven't formed the strong relationships that many of you have. I just can't post all that often.
So I have an extensive IF journey--just now able to start treatments--and need the knowledge of you girls, but the last thing I want to do is budge into such a tight-knit group--which I know you are.
So should I still ask my questions on IF, but cheer on people on this board? Can I cheer on people here as long as I'm not starting posts? I know this sounds likt I silly kindergarten thing, but the last thing I want to do is assume anything and hurt someone or get under someone's skin.
Thanks for bearing with my ridiculous post!

Re: *peeking in* I feel lost-where do I belong?
You can be on both boards, and you can figure out what board you're most comfortable on as time goes on, or if you want to post on both boards. I think a lot of us post on both boards, and those that don't haven't been posting on IF a lot anyway.
I'm sorry it's so confusing. There are some growing pains.

Triple ditto, I basically said : you are encouraged you to try out both boards and see what is the right fit for you, and vets are encouraged to post on IF too. This board is a support board with an emphasis on community.
HTH.
Hey sushi - I lurk here too sometimes to keep up with all my IF ladies & saw your post. Just wanted to say hi & GL with your upcoming IVF cycle...so excited for you & hoping to see your BFP announced soon along with all my IF "friends" that are here too. sending big ((hugs)) to all you ladies!

Yes--I do remember that. lol. I think I was more upset that they actually put ghosts in my baby dust than anything else. Who puts ghosts in baby dust??!?!
PMed you back. That really made sense. I feel like I just came to the board at a weird time if that makes any sense--not here enough to create strong bonds but not here short enough to what to deal with bullsh!t over on IF. gah!
I've been looking at both boards too. I started lurking on the IF board a year ago (after 1st IVF failure). Somehow, I am still a newbie status, but I guess b/c I can't post that much with my crazy work schedule!
