Nor have I ever had sex in front of my children or breastfed while giving a BJ - Holy hell these people are out there.
Hi, I am another newbie. I have been lurking for a few months and finally created a profile last month. I am thankful I "lurked" for a little while. Because if I am being honest, I in the beginning didn't understand the snark and wanted to defend everyone. BUT then after only 3 months that feeling has faded, so I can only imagine after 6 months and longer how one must feel. I now know that the Snark is a very necessary part of these boards and TTGP in general.
I am already a proud mom of 3 boys (1 being my stepson). My H and I have been married for almost a year and decided to try for one together. When I first started trying the excitement made me annoying because I had a every phantom symptom and thought for sure I would be pregnant as soon as we decided we were trying.
At first we were just having sex almost every day and that hasn't worked. I just received my OPKs from amazon and will try this for a couple of months and then will move on to temping.
Thanks for the laughs! (BTW I have read the newbie link, have a chart on FF though it is almost worthless at this point without temping, and have read all of POAS.com)
Re: I do not save my pee and/or taste any of my liquids!
Hi and welcome!! I know what you mean, I was the same way wanting to defend everyone. I will say that there is some unwarranted snark sometimes, but in general, most of it is deserved.
GL!

It is not for us to say who, in the deepest sense, is or is not close to the spirit of Christ. We do not see into men's hearts. We cannot judge...It would be wicked arrogance for us to say that any man is or is not a Christian. ~C.S. Lewis

The name is Angel. I'm 27 years old & DH is 28. We have been together for 12 years, married on May 21, 2011. We are TTC #1! I was diagnosed with endometriosis via laparoscopy in August 2010. Off of BC since March 2012. I am a 2nd year OB/GYN Resident physician. I love getting to be involved in precious miracles first moments of life, and I can't wait until the day we are blessed to have our own miracle!
After almost 2 years of TTC and fertility treatments we got a surprise BFP in May 2013
Because if I am being honest, I in the beginning didn't understand the snark and wanted to defend everyone. BUT then after only 3 months that feeling has faded, so I can only imagine after 6 months and longer how one must feel. I now know that the Snark is a very necessary part of these boards and TTGP in general.
This was me.....and now I'm like oh FFS, lurk a little people. The women here, in my opinion have far more patience with many of us Newbs than I could. Welcome and GL!
