Welcome! I'm very sorry for your loss. Jump right in and use the search function for any lingering questions! There's a ton of old threads with awesome info.

Yes, scroll all the way down to the bottom.

Ok, I see a button that says search discussion, but is there one to actually search the board instead of just within an individual post? I swear I am computer challenged. Learning to gif last night was a huge triumph for me haha.

On the mainTTGP board page , there is a search function at the bottom. Type in the keyword there. It will bring you to a page where you can select which specific board you are trying to search (in my experience it has always automatically been TTGP)

Ah, I found it! Off to lurk.

Edit to add: it was right in front of my face. I scrolled past it twice before I was like...

Hello everyone! You can call me by my name Carolann. I am new to all of this so please follow me through. I have been married for ten years no luck till this month. My last AF was 5/23/15 exactly seven days after AF I start to spot this was 5/4/15 only when using the restroom "tmi" once that day when I was at work. So a whole day passes by around the same time the only thing is that it happened at home while my husband was present this was 5/6/15 reminding you guys this is going on before ovulation day. Yesterday 9dpo cramping all day left and right lower belly now today three days before AF the cramps stopped and I am feeling concerned and was wondering has this happened to anyone and ended not pregnant? Worried hoping for someone can give me peace of mind it's my first rodeo

Seriously? You posted on this thread and didn't bother to read it?
Dafuq...
I can't even.

27alex · May 2015

So you didn't read this thread and then posted this crap? Please go back, read the thread, and LURK.

KaaaaaatieRN · May 2015

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you didn't read the thread you're posting in. Give it a look-see.

Quazel · May 2015

Omg, this is EXACTLY what happened to me! We must be body twins! What I did, while I waited for scientific results, was read this thread from the beginning. It soooo helped me!

kirkie928 · May 2015

And this is an example of what not to do......lurk, learn, and think before you post.

I would like to add that this thread is NOT intended for newbie intros. Why did this start happening all of a sudden?

Also, the "Report a TOU Violation" button =/= "I got my feelings hurt" button. Please go actually read the TOU and use this button wisely. I'm sick of seeing good users banned because of cry babies getting click happy.

@BumpAdmin, @BumpTara can you close this thread please?

missteacherlady16 · May 2015

You posted this same conversation in its own thread yesterday. Seriously??

nicosh8 · May 2015

Also- You already posted a thread with this question and were told to lurk and read this very thread...
So...???

missteacherlady16 · May 2015

WishingHopingPraying27 · May 2015

Agreed. "If you could tell a newbie anything" =/= "Newbie intros." This is getting ridiculous.

sdemilio1231 · May 2015

Really? On the newbie thread? It's here to read and learn from so you don't make this mistake. Not so you can ask questions without lurking first...

27alex · May 2015

@BumpAdmin @bumptara this is the thread we want closed. Can you do that please?

farzate1 · May 2015

You ladies are mean. Can't you just give her advice and move on. I am so not liking the vibe from all of you!!!

ecmb · May 2015

You're new here aren't you?

27alex · May 2015

Listen, read the entire thread. Not only did she not do that, but she also was told how to proceed on a thread the day before.

This board has a certain tone and you're asked to lurk before you jump in...hence the 3 day waiting period to post. You need to lurk more.

missteacherlady16 · May 2015

@BumpAdmin @BumpCaitlin

Thanks again for sticking this post at the top of the thread, but could you please close it from new comments?

BumpAdmin · June 2015

Hi there,

Thank you all for being such helpful, active members on this board. Your participation and great advice has helped so many women and contributed to creating a thriving community.

I wanted to let you know that we felt it would be helpful to consolidate into a single message some of the advice you’ve all shared for our new members from this thread and across the TTGP board. This “Welcome, New Members!” message will be posted to the TTGP board tomorrow. In the post, we ask that new members spend time getting a feel for the board, politely introduce themselves, and consult the search function when possible. We also ask that they keep an open mind when seeking advice.

This feels like a good opportunity to remind our regular active board members of that same idea. As you know, this board is composed of women like you navigating an exciting and, at times, stressful period of life. It is especially important on TTGP that we remain welcoming to each other and always strive to offer support. There may be times when new members unintentionally do not follow board etiquette. If, for example, they ask a question that’s recently been asked or haven’t formally introduced themselves before posting, we encourage you to politely remind them to check out our “Welcome, New Members!” post and allow the discussion to continue. We also ask that you do not put anyone down for not following our recommended etiquette. This way, the conversation can flow peacefully and productively.

Thank you so much!
