This!

You left out the part about fisting. I think you should re-post a new thread with section 18 added to correct this problem.

Let's all pack up and go home. We now have all the info we need and can stop wasting all our time here exchanging ideas and information.

Ellabelle, THANK YOU for the giant LOL of the day!

I don't know why some people on this board have to be so rude. This is a ttc message board. Not everyone has been ttc for a long time and might see an bulletin point that they would like to research more. I didn't know that there can be a problem with vitamin A, so now I'm going to look it up, thank you. I also didn't know anything about how to get pregnant before I started looking it up, I had no idea about ovulation or anything.

I take issue with someone coming on here and posting "advice" that isn't true. You didn't know you have to stop birth control? You didn't know taking drugs wasn't a good thing?

ETA: You didn't know about ovulation and dropping an egg? I'm pretty sure my 4th graders learn about that when they watch a video about getting their periods.

Agreed. Also that's why there is a newbie link. Very helpful info, everyone should read it before posting.

Maybe there should be a test so we know if you had actually read it...hmmm...

Wow, I'm actually embarrassed for you. And for the entire education system/every biology & health ed teacher you've ever had.

OP, aren't you the girl who had NEVER felt her vagina before? And you were worried because it curved?

LOLWUT?

There are a few things missing here...

18. Try fisting to make your labor and delivery easier.

19. Taste your CM.

No, I have no memory of learning about that in school, and I know it seems ignorant of me to not know my body, but I really didn't and I don't feel I had a reason to know that until now. I knew that the egg needed to get fertilized, but I didn't know the egg was only there for just a short period of time.

Also, yes it should be common sense that you need to stop birth control and not take drugs if you are trying to get pregnant, but I still don't think that it is necessary for people to try to make one feel stupid for posting something about prenatal care on a ttc forum just because they don't find the information useful, especially with these comments, why not rather reply with something useful.

Thank you for not being an jerk like everyone else.

I'll try saying this again. A good chunk of the "advice" posted IS NOT TRUE!!! Call me a jerk (oh wait you already did), but I don't tend to let misinformation go without correcting it. You can continue to drink coffe, tea, soda, drink alcohol. A "pre-conception" appt isn't necessary either Plus, the info was copied and pasted from another website.
