This might be a silly question--- I know it is intended for people who have been on the IF board for 6+ months, but do they mind if we still lurk and post congrats or support?
Don't worry about tomorrow. After all, today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. Take each day as it comes...one at a time.

6 months as an active poster, as some people post occasionally when they need advice from the board, never offer a kind word to someone else, and they're really not a part of the IF community. Which is the way things are and totally fine, and what the Infertility board can accommodate.
Posting support on the 6+ board is all the friendlier.
And I hope you're not on this board for another 6 months too. IF sucks enough, being an infertile among infertiles is sucktastic, but we have some consolation in the board. and we're here for you if it comes to that.
And if you need to page someone or want to address the board as a whole, I think that's fine too.
