Hi Ladies...

moccamom2be:

To you ladies who somehow believe that you have successfully attacked the newcomer this post is for you:

I cannot begin to imagine what you have endured in order to receive your bundles of joy. I do not know the pain that lies in the secret places in your heart. What I do know is that I can only hope that you find a way to work through the aches of your souls. If hijacking this thread makes you feel like a woman, have at it. Keep on with what you're doing. Just know this, every time you post something ridiculous or degrading you are only providing further evidences that your souls are in despair. FWIW:You don't have to be bitter!

This is the last time I will give dignity to your absurd remarks.

Hun, I'll lay it out for you. You seem to be a decent kind of gal.

1. You said you lurked, but clearly, you haven't. The terms "preggers" and "baby dust" are hated around here, and you used both.

2. The ONLY way to confirm O is by temping. Period. You can estimate your O date, but don't try to say that you "know" you O'ed because you simply cannot know without temping. You can be pretty close to sure, but not positive.

3. Just because someone snarks you, it does not mean they're bitter or infertile or have gone through hell and back trying to get KU. It doesn't mean they have "pain that lies in the secret places of their heart". There's no need to wax eloquent about the dark misery in someone's soul, because TBH, it's probably not there. Sometimes, if someone says something that the TB populus deems stupid, you'll get flamed. It's absurd to assume that you got flack because someone is having problems getting pregnant...you got flamed because you said some kinda dumb things.

I have nothing personal against you, but if you're going to say you lurked, don't come on here and sound like a newb who has no clue how the dynamics of this board work. Good luck in your TTC efforts.

I think you set a record for pulling the bitter card. Congrats. How nice of you.

FWIW, that's awesome you have charted for so long, but even knowing your body as well as you claim does not guarentee you O each month, just that you've possibly had a patter of doing so.

What did you do to ensure your ovaries are "ok"?

This is not a journal, but a message board where any one is free to post anywhere and prety much anything they want.

The blog post about the women on here being "bitter" was uncalled for.

I am not sure where in the world people are or what the societal norms in their regions are. I know that where I live, we usually welcome people by saying hello. Anything else is uncalled for as you say. Further, the snarky remarks and condescending tones are the indisputable evidences of a bitter heart. Are you one of them? If you are not, then don't worry. If you are, I'll call it out every time. FWIW:Life is too short to be so bitter.

So, people where you are from don't ask questions to engage in a conversation? That's how this post appeared to start-people asking how you know you O'd, I asked how you were made aware your ovaries were OK. Those don't seem like odd questions given the nature of the board.

Tones are sometimes hard to "get" over the internet....

There is a difference between bitter (as you call it) and straight forwardness. Most tend to be "get to the point"ers around here...

Thank you for leaving!
I just want you to know I AM leaving. But it's not because you told me to. It's because I need to go get laid by my super hot husband in order to make a baby. Unfortunately for you, you decided to be a d0uche during my fertile window (which I know I am currently in since I am temping) and I can't stick around long enough to watch you GBCB. Sad face.

HA, you'll give me the cliffs notes tomorrow?

I told you exactly what you said that was stupid. You have an extremely condescending, "holier than thou" attitude...have you met kettle, pot? You didn't intro well. Deal with it. Accept that you didn't get the "omg, squeeeeee, welcome to TB!" that you wanted. This board is a wealth of information, but it's not a support system. There is no friendship fairy who is going to fly down and grant you a message board full of new bestest friends. This works just like real life. You play nice with the others, you'll make friends. You call people bitter infertiles and act like a douche, you'll be shunned.

Hi I'm a newbie TTC...give me a break.

Hey, first of all, good luck TTC. Not to snark, but it would be a good idea for you to just lurk on the boards for a while more to get a feel for it before posting.

As far as your BFN, without knowing exactly when you ovulate there's no way of knowing for sure how many DPO you are, so if you choose to continue not temping you should probably wait until after your missed period to take a test so you don't waste them. Even so, 10DPO could still give a false negative so try to hold out from testing early. Good luck.

Ya Never Know · July 2011

Without temping there is no accurate way to tell whether or not you O'd. CM and cervical position on their own are not precise enough. I've had cycles where I've had EWCM for days and thought for sure I'd O'd only to have a cycle go on until CD120 with multiple patches of EWCM throughout. I eventually found out I was not in fact ovulating and that I had PCOS.

The only way to confirm ovulation is through b/w or temperature. End of story.

This thread is full of win. I also wanted to add a quote from her blog:
"OMG!!! I was just on a website that I joined called thebump.com. Some of those ladies are ridiculous!! I created a thread introducing myself, and the wolves came out to attack fresh prey. One observation was that the few women I encountered in those few minutes were incredibly BITTER. I don't know what their stories are. Heck, I don't even know who they were. What I did notice was that the pain of trying to conceive had poisoned their hearts.

Lord I pray for those women and many women who are struggling with conceiving and infertility. Help me to be kind and to ease the pain of another."

I'm not religious or anything, but I wouldn't think God would appreciate her passing judgment like that on others. Just sayin', OP.

I only just finished the first page and I love this thread already. I mean journal.

BorderGirl · July 2011

Don't really have time to read through this whole thread or get into the drama. But on one point I did want to support you. When I first started charting I was instructed in the Billings method. It is only slightly less effective than sympto-thermal. True, you can't know with 100% certainty that you did O. But especially with a lot of charting experience you can be quite confident. Sympto-thermal is not for everyone! Especially in other countries, mucus only method is much more common. If you have hormonal or cycle issues, sympto-thermal can definitely be the way to go. But I always hate to see Billings method get completely disregarded.

OP - if you bother to come back and read this, just understand that no one was being snarky to you in their initial responses. Your intro had conflicting information in it, and they were asking you questions to get to know you. No one was at all snarky until you started throwing around the "bitter card".

Remember those guys in HS who were super annoying, and would piss you off? But then, if you acted pissed off, they would say "Oh, she must have PMS". Remember how that felt? To have your feelings and responses totally disregarded and not validated on the basis of hormones kind of sucks. It's exactly what you just did to everyone here.

Oh and FWIW, I charted for a long time. Confirmed O every cycle with temps and symptoms. I used OPKs and got a + at the same time my temps confirmed O. Then, I assumed I could just check symptoms, assumed I was Oing, and had a few random annovulatory cycles. Each of those cycles, I had all the symptoms of O, but confirmed that I never did with u/s and bloodwork. So, yeah, you really DON'T know when you Od if you don't confirm.

Ummm, yeah, you've gotta' go.

I wasn't going to get involved until I read your two post 'blog'. It was a little bit of offensive, mixed in with some crazy.

Sadly ladies, I don't think this is MUD.

I'm kind of surprised that no one called this sooner.

I am new to this site. My husband and I have prayed and decided to begin our journey to parenthood. I have been a lurker for a few days, and I think I want to come out of lurkdom!!! So, a little about me is that I am 29-years old (I turn 30 in Oct). We are trying to have our very own LO. I have not been charting and temping in about 1.5 years. I usually pay attention to my CM. So, I ovulated about 10 days ago or at least from June 20-25ish. We are in the 2ww phase, and I have been testing since Sat... all BFN. Maybe we'll have a surprise the end of this week. Here's wishing all of you ladies lots of BABY DUST!!!!

Oh, I just started blogging about my experience too. I don't know if I can post my blog, but I'll try.

Hi! I'm still quite new to this site as well. I was going to introduce myself on this board but I found out I was pregnant before I could do so. Anyway, praying for a BFP for you and your hubby! I usually lurk over here and I lurk and post occasionally in 1st Trimester. PM me if you need a friend...peace.

Where is this lady from that she claims to be a doctor yet cannot string together a natural sounding, coherent sentence? Did anyone else check out her blog? It's like the emails I get from Nigerian scammers every time I put something for sale on Craigslist. And by the way, I strongly dislike people like you that pull the Jesus card. You are the reason that people dislike Christians. Are you saying that I haven't gotten pregnant yet because I don't pray hard enough or love God enough? Shame on you! Go away!
