I'm a newbie. I recently suffered a miscarriage with my first just over a month ago. I need to find some support. Can anyone give me a bit of an explanation of how this all works?
Thanks!

Yes, we connect through replying to posts. You give and receive support to each other. You can also PM others if you don't want it on the board for the rest to see. This board is full of very supportive and awesome ladies. I am sorry you find yourself here but you will find the support you need as long as you give it back.
Thanks so much. I appreciate the support.Hubby and I are planning to start ttc right away.
I suppose I'm just looking for information on this site..how to connect. Do you all just connect on this forum by replying on each other's posts?
Welcome to the board. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Yep, we read each other's posts and respond to them. Simple as that. You might want to spend some time reading old posts to get a feel for how the board works. It's a bit overwhelming at first, but you get used to it! The main rule is give support to get support, which means answering questions and interacting with the other women on the board instead of just posting questions or whatever and not being involved with anyone else.

I'm sorry for your loss. Definitely peek at the blog for some general information and etiquette guidelines (we're a sensitive bunch, as we well should be, so there are some good guidelines there to help us make sure we're being sensitive to the needs of the many different women here in many different situations.)
Like PPs said, the best way to get involved here is just to jump in. Reading through a few pages of posts will help you start to get to know some people and their situations. Reply when you feel you have something to add or support to give, and start a new post once in a while if you have a question you haven't seen in the recent posts, have an update about your life, have something interesting to say, or just need a hug.
Sorry that you're here, but welcome!
