T-TTC vs. IF

Just curious as to what the difference is between the 3T board and the Infertility board. Is Infertility a step beyond 3T or do you need to be active on one before "graduating" to the other? Just want to make sure I post to the right board. TIA!

    My advice is to lurk on both and see what's a good fit for you. And don't limit yourself to one if you want to post on both. A lot of people XP on several related boards.

    I don't know specific differences, but I'll give you the quick and dirty on the evolution of the boards.

    Once there was only BOTB. Shocking, I know. And it was on The Nest, as there was no The Bump. Boards started splitting as the situations on BOTB became more varied. First there was TTTC, then at some point TTGP, then a board of TTTCers who eventually became the Snarky board after about a half dozen name changes.

    At some point the TTTCers realized they really had IF and should just call it what it was and rename the board to IF. For some reason TB decided to keep TTTC as its own separate board. Last I checked the IF board was more of a place to go if you wanted to discuss the technical/scientific aspects of specific protocols, etc. Like I said, not sure how TTTC differs, but lurk and you may find one works better for you than the other.

    FWIW the Snarky & TTTC board is for people with TTTC who want to talk about everything but TTC (although we'll still discuss that too ;). Many of the original posters have been successful, so there are a lot of kid pictures, but newbies are still welcome. Just sayin' :)

    Wow, that was a lot more info than I was expecting. Thank you!! :)

    I've been lurking in both for a few weeks and I can see the similarities. I just wanted to make sure I didn't break any unwritten rules by posting in one when I should be in the other.

    Thanks again for filling me in!
