You either have zero reading comprehension, or you are just as much of a selfish twat as OP. Would you walk up to someone with no legs and lecture them on how if they just tried hard enough, they could walk? "Look I can do it, obviously you should too if you did it right!!!"
Thank you for sharing your story. I am sorry you are being treated disrespectfully on this board. The girls on the WTE boards are super nice and happy for people when they get a BFP. They don't belittle them like over here. Congrats to you and thank you for the advice. I will be trying preseed next cycle and attempting to stick to the SMEP. I just finished my first month of ttc.

You wanna talk disrespect? How about being like 4 months pregnant coming to a board of strangers trying to conceive and asking if they've tried putting sperm inside their vagina. That's disrespect. Ride the fuck back out on the horse you came in on.

Then go back there. I've been TTC for 29 months and have offered my heartfelt congratulations to dozens of women on this board. I am a super nice person and happy for people when they get pregnant.
What I don't need is some woman who got pregnant after THREE months to tell me about a plan that worked for her. Guess what, Sperm Meets Egg? That's EVERYBODY'S ttc plan. It's fucking impossible to get pregnant without a sperm meeting an egg.
But hey - you've shown me the error of my ways. OP, I'm sorry for thinking you were a twatwaffle. Thanks for the really great advice. After 2 fucking years, I'll finally give that sperm meets egg thing a try. Sperm meets tonsils clearly isn't working.

You don't say?
I bet you're just a bowl of sweet peaches aren't you?
Nobody here cares about your white knighting. You're rude. Bye.
I am really not a confrontational person. I didn't take her post as being something everyone already knows. I'm new to ttc and it was helpful...I want to try preseed. She simply sounded like she was sharing her method to success.
It really makes me worried for some of these people when so many of them think writing on a forum is taking up so much time that we must not have time to have sex and get pregnant. Because clearly that's why we're still TTC. 8-|
Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.
Not everyone knows when their fertile window is...I'm new to this and learning the ropes. I tried OPKS and got all negatives. Information can be helpful.
I'm not judging the entire board. It was one post that I was shocked by. Ive been lurking for months on WTE and never saw that, that's all. I just think that we need to support everyone at every step in their journey. I doubt I am welcome here anymore...I was just trying to defend someone that I thought meant well.

Unless you've insulted someone beyond reason or made an incredibly insensitive comment you're pretty much never too far gone. We don't spoon feed, though. Read and live by the guide we linked for you and always check there for an answer before creating a new thread about it. We'll answer questions, but if it was right in plain sight on the newbie blog it's like.. Come on. Know what I mean?
@Samantha781 I'd recommend you first start posting in the waiting to o and 2 week wait threads that are posted daily. Buy a basal body thermometer from Walmart or cvs, buy the book Taking charge of your fertility and read it, sign up for Fertility friend and download the app, and go from there. If you really want to give it your all,this is your best bet.
I didn't have such a great start here @samantha781. It was my first time on a forum and I hadn't gotten a chance to learn the personalities yet. I didn't read into the sarcasm and took a comment more as a personal attack. I decided to put my big girl panties on, apologize, and stick around anyways. I had lurked for a couple weeks and knew I was dealing with knowledgable people, and I'd rather be here than on a forum full of ignorance. Despite my not so great start, everyone has accepted me anyways and it's all in the past.
This may sound like a stupid question but Sperm meet egg? What's the other way? How else are you suppose to get pregnant if the sperm doesn't meet the egg?
Am I totally missing something?
I don't know, I mean, I'm kinda old fashioned. I think sperm should do a little more than just "meet" egg. I mean if sperm really wants egg then sperm should make the effort to pick egg up at egg's place.
I just can't get over this comment from over there.
" And no SMEP is not just "having sex when you're fertile." It's a very specific plan of have sex on this day, not this day, this day, this day, and not this day. I have never used SMEP and yes I'm having sex when fertile."
WTF does that mean??? She has sex on her fertile days but not the way SMEP. Does anyone over there even have a clue what they are talking about?

TTC our first. Married to, and madly in love with, my beautiful wife. Living with our fur baby and enjoying 19 nieces and nephews.
DW and I have been tracking, preparing, getting medical testing since January 2013.
First Cycle: Unmedicated ICI w/ Donor Sperm 08/02/13: BFN
I would normally not be happy to be a harpy, but if being a harpy means that I'm educated about my body and the info I receive here on TB is biologically accurate, then sure, happy to be a harpy I am.
Crazypeople needs to edit to fix the "your" that should be "you're" in many of their posts.
It's fixed.
Edit. Words are hard
Thanks.

No problem. The first happened because I have a bad habit of doing that. I'm trying to break it. The second one was actually a typo. Wasn't even supposed to be your. It was you. Haha.
I've heard of that book Taking Charge Of Your Fertility... I'll definitely read it! Thanks. Ill also buy the thermometer.
You may have already said this, but have you tried charting on FF? I was intimidated by it at first because I simply didn't understand everything, but once I started temping, using OPKs, and charting, it started to make sense. Now I feel like I actually can SEE what's going on, perhaps because it's in graph form.

The amount of stupidity over there about how the female body works is astounding.
I would love to post the newbie blog over there considering all of them seem to have the sexual education level of a 14 year old girl.
*takes a shower*
I prefer the use of Twatwaffles, but to each their own.
Also do we love their explanation of what SMEP is over there? Omg it's like talking to a wall.
I don't usually speculate on who people are, either. Bah.

I should have known just by the level of bump crush I was having!
