Oh I didn't realize the newbie blog was the bible you lived by my bad lol
If you don't like what you get here, no one is forcing you to stay.
You either get a feel for the boards and stay, or if you decide you don't like it, you can leave and find another site that is a better fit for you. It's as simple as that.
I like this board because the members don't give you false hope. I have learned so much from being here. Everyone is honest and don't just say what they think you want to hear. If you can't take the snark and don't have a sense of humor, then maybe this isn't the place for you.
You know, OP, I regret helping you yesterday and directing you to the newbie blog. If you had listened at all, you would've known this doesn't go over well. There are many, many, many different boards out there for TTC. When looking for one I felt was appropriate for me, I avoided places like baby center or baby gaga cause I didn't like sugar coated nonsense, I wanted a community where Id hear it straight, with plenty of humor on the side.
This is a legit community- like, I just met 5 of these ladies IRL yesterday. We don't know you, we don't want to see your urine covered pee stick. You've seen the community for what it is- no nonsense, but if you lurked more you'd see that if you give support, you get it. You gave support to one other newb yesterday. Thats not grounds for a "judge my pee stick" post. In fact, all the regs do this in the 2WW- we don't even create a whole new thread for it. That's never going to change, no matter what you or that Nicole chick say or do. Take it or leave it.
i didn't know this post would cause such an uproar. but i would like to
say that Ive received so many inbox messages from women who feel i
haven't done anything wrong. So i want to thank you ladies for sending
me those messages. i completely understand not wanting to post. but to the rest of you. i really dont care! honestly. like i said i wont make a new discussion anymore. its not really a big deal. its a online forum. ive seen pictures of cm on here for goodness sake. if you dont like what you see there are hundreds of other post on here for you to read. i wasnt trying to purposely offend anyone or make anyone feel bad. but i went and got a 6 day earlier first response test (pink dye) and there is a line even darker then the blue one. i know i cant post it but i did start tracking my symptoms a couple days ago so if anyone wants to know what they are inbox me. there are no stupid questions. thats how you learn. Thanks & Goodbye

I've been visiting these post for years actually. And this isn't my first post. And I have posted to other members post supporting them and answering any questions I could. I just recently decided to join because now I'm actively ttc. And if u think I don't know how the board works then help me out. Thats what I would have done. If u don't like a post skip over it. Why waste time posting if u dont like what I wrote. But thanks anyway I guess. I don't think ill be posting anymore lol u gals are rough!
I am trying to help you, dear. My response was considerably polite. Reading the boards, known as lurking, is not the same as active participation. I lurk the boards every single day. I'm sleep deprived, but I don't recognize you as an active poster. I'm not above being wrong, but judging by the responses you've gotten in this thread I'd wager I'm not the only one.
You decided to join when you have a potential positive HPT. That's just not the same as posting an introduction & participating. It's just not.
There are posters that read the newbie post at the top of the board, participate & support folks. If they are lucky & get a BFP their first month then you will see them congratulated.
It's not that I don't like looking at your pee stick. It's not that serious. It's that it looks incredibly self-serving, selfish & immature to ask us if we think your HPT is positive & that's it.
You can post, but seeing as how you appear to have graduated from TTGP to pregnant then you'll find first trimester might be more your speed. You don't have to be TTC to be here, but you haven't taken the effort to make friends & form relationships here. So it makes no sense for you to keep posting here. This board goes back & forth on whether or not pg posters are permitted.
Usually if you were a productive, supportive & regular poster no one would care. However, you were none of these things so it probably doesn't apply.
I'm being very nice to you considering. Good luck.
Dollybaby86 I see nothing wrong with your post. Many women here don't like "strangers" posting a pee stick. They find entertainment in making the op feel like crap.
Posting positive pere sticks seems to be a past time of the randoms that don't care to support anyone else. They appear to get some twisted entertainment out of attention whoring their good fortune in the face of those still trying. If we really want to talk about making other posters feel like crap, then let's look at both sides.
I would be willing to bet a random stranger waiving their positive pee stick has the ability to make more people feel like crap.
Oh there was a random CM post years ago when I was having my first. I don't know if it was on the TTGP board or not. It was linked and flamed on many many boards. This had to be 2-3 years ago though.
I've seen posts from 2-3 years ago before so I bet it still is. I don't think I'm brave enough to search for though no matter how curious I am.
Oh really @xonicole019?! You really think you get to decide what consitutes being "too" sensitive? You can fucking come and talk to us after you've been trying for a really. long. time. Or after you've been through IF treatments. After you've spent months, and some of us even years, participating on this board and being a part of this community of women, supporting everyone through the trials and tribulations of their health issues, losses, BFPs and everything else that comes with the mindfuck that is TTC. You've been here for five minutes and managed to piss everyone off and for some reason you won't fucking leave. I don't think you get to say we are too sensitive. We already deal with everyone around us getting pregnant on the daily; we don't like perfect strangers coming in here and telling us about their pregnancies because we don't know them and don't care about them. All it is is painful and eyeroll inducing and reminds us of what we don't have. That's the way it is on this board and you white knighting this ridiculous post ISN'T GOING TO FUCKING CHANGE THE BOARD!!! GTFO

TTC #1 8/2012~Chronic Pelvic Pain Condition began 10/2012~Told I was crazy by many doctors until a good specialist DXed a labral tear and bone impingement in left hip 4/2013~Surgery on left hip: 5/31/13 SUCCESS!!! Pain flares to continue indefinitely (but mostly gone).
Resumed TTC 6/2013~Chronic stomach pain and distension: 8/2013~TTA 1/2014 Until Resolved ~7/2014: Trip to the Mayo Clinic--SUCCESS!! Finally on the road to getting better.
Resumed TTC 7/2014! Third time's the charm....8/2014 Visited the RE~DX: MFI/low morph~Straight to IVF with ICSI! 9/2014~Transferred 1 perfect beautiful 6AA blast with 10 to freeze!!!~10/8/2014: BFP!!!! EDD: 6/17/15 STICK LITTLE BEAN!!! IT'S A BOY!!!!!
I see the line, but I think it's an evap line because it is so thin. I've had that on any blue dye test I've taken so I never use those.
Also I would ask these kind of questions in first tri....those ladies have "been there and done that" for all things pregnancy related.
I love it when shit hits that fan, then in the middle of the shit storm is a person who has no idea what's going on & answers the OP like nothings happened.

Hey dudes, remember the other day when I posted that FFFC about how typing "LOL" along with a shitty comment doesn't soften the blow, it just makes you sound like someone who says shitty comments and then laughs like a maniac?

No one has posted cm here. That's 100% bullshit. Please link the thread.
No one gives a shit about your symptoms. There's a whole 2WW thread if people want to hear about that. You aren't that special.
Also, take your own advice - there's hundreds of other boards, go there. I'm sure you'll have a GREAT time over on your BMB and 1st tri
Lastly, I thought you weren't posting anymore?
