Deactivated my Facebook

And it feels good. I deleted the fb app from my phone a month or two ago and decided I should just deactivate. Apparently people have tried to reach me via fb and I feel bad that I never respond.

I swear before I did this, I would open fb and see a new pregnancy announcement. Every. Single. Time. I feel so free :).

Anyone else thinking about leaving fb in the dust?

    I used to deactivate FB periodically then I decided to just delete people from my friends list who were annoying and/or I hadn't seen in 12 months or more. That allows me to keep up with my real friends and family (that I like) and not be blindsided by some townie from high school complaining about getting pregnant with her 4th kid. It works for me but I know some people (like my DH) prefer to delete it altogether and actually live in the real world.

    I deactivated it before my last cycle. Don't miss it, although there are a few people I've fallen out of touch with. I'm with you on the pregnancy announcements. This was in my siggie for a while:

    I deactivated mine about two months ago and quite a few "Where did ya go?" And then it was "Why?" Felt so much better! Just like you said - new pregnancy announcement Every. Single. Time. And quite a few people who announced WAY too early... like just POAS!

    MC Sept '10, MC Dec '10, DS born 2012

    Clomid + TI = BFP #1 March '13, MC April '13

    Gonal F + trigger + IUI #1 = BFP #2 10/21/13, MC 10/31/13

    Gonal F + trigger + IUI #2 = BFP #3 1/16/14, ectopic w/ heartbeat & rt salpingectomy 1/29/14

    IVF #1 - ER 5/9/14 transfer cx'd due to high P4

    FET #1 -  6/26/14 transferred 1 AA blast BFP!! Beta #1 13dp5dt - 1548 Beta #2 15dp5dt - 2748 Beta #3 18dp5dt - 7586

    I deleted the app from my phone earlier this year and occasionally I will take a look at it in my browser if I'm super bored. 

    Definitely a good decision for me and not just as it relates to IF! At least I just hear pregnancy announcements in person from people I know, versus some random people from high school posting them!
    Tried for two years, finally a BFP!

    I agree. It had been a good choice not just because of IF. I was spending too much time on there.. Now I can devote that time to this board instead. Ha!! At least this one makes me feel better rather than worse :)

    I have deleted FB app from my phone but, still have the account. I do check regularly on the computer. None of my friends announce there pregnancies, until they have the baby, but it hurts to see someone have a baby right after another. 

     (P.S my friends list is mostly Indians and Pakistani's, who dont like announcing pregnancies to the whole world)
