Just watned to say that was lurking on some of the other boards on the bump site and have to say this has to be the most fabulous. Others that I saw were just overwhelmingly negative and mean spirited especially to the newbies. I have only been using this board for a few weeks and rarely if ever see that here. You ladies are so amazing to me. Reading all ya post gives me pause. My DH and I have only been TTC for a very short time, and after reading what alot of you are going through just makes me wonder if I have what it takes to get through this if things don't go the way we want them. You ladies have such an amazing inner strenght. I hope that by reading and interacting with y'all through your trials and tribulations it will help me find the strenght I need to do this. Thanks for being there for a newbie trying to figure it all out!!! Y'all rock and are aces in my book!!!!
I agree! I lurked at a few boards when I first found the bump and I was scared off from many of them because of the negativity. Newbies were like targets! This board is nothing like those scary ones and that is why I love it!
Me: 40 Dh: 41, TTC since August 2009, began Acupuncture and Herbs Sept 2011, began Temping and Charting Nov 2011.
Ditto from me. I too really appreciate the kindness that the ladies on her show to all the newbies! I was really afraid to post for fear of the "newbie attack". I have had nothing but kindness shown to me.

I couldn't agree more! Although there are quite of few ladies (including me) who have run into some serious obsticles in TTC on here, I don't think that we descriminate. I think that the ladies that have been through IF have a tremendous amount of knowledge to share with the rest of us that are not as far along the journey & are starting to hit road blocks. We welcome anyone who's over 35 & TTC, as long as they are open & supportive.
I'm excited to see all of the newbies that have joined us recently & am looking forward to getting to know all of you!
