I think you meant to post this on First Trimester? You've never supported anyone here, so it's rude to post a pregnancy announcement on this board. I'm sure your friends & family will be so happy for you. However, you are a stranger to us so we can only wish you luck & tell you to please move on.

Married: 8/29/2009 TTC- since we got married (off and on) TTC with focus: Since July 2015
Currently had 2 rounds of failed IUIs, failed TI monitored cycle December 2015: Starting 1st IVF cycle January 2016: Retrieval March 2016: Pending Transfer (I have 3 PGS tested embryos waiting for a womb) April 2016: BFP, the old fashioned way.
I am here for support and I've struggled to get pregnant for over a year. I get that it's hard to hear when someone else is pregnant but this seems so harsh and rude.
I guess I'm too new here to understand all the rude comments.
A random stranger just came by to tell a board full of women who are trying to get pregnant that she's pregnant. This is annoying to most of us, and hurtful to those who have been struggling with TTC for a long time. The "blessed" title just adds insult to injury. If she's blessed, what are we? Does God just like us less or something because we don't have BFPs yet? No.
OP was extremely rude, and got justifiably snarked at in response.

@ttcours2015 : We get randoms that announce their pregnancy to us on the regular. The reason these "rude comments" are here is because its annoying as all get out to have someone announce their pregnancy when they have not invested in getting to know us. This community is based on mutual contribution. If you don't take time to get to know other posters on a TTC board its rude to trumpet about your positive pregnancy test. In some cases, it can be hurtful to those still trying (for many months or even years).
So yes, you are new, but its really very common sense-- wouldn't you agree? I am more apt to be super excited for a regular poster that has supported me through TTC (whether it be 3 months or 24) than some random that doesn't observe board etiquette. So, being a newbie is awesome in a way-- you get to read and get to know everyone. The down side is that what looks like super rude, catty behavior is actually annoyance at someone behaving in a way that is not appreciated. I hope your stay here is short, but if its not, then you will understand what I'm talking about in a matter of weeks.

OP has never participated here before, it's just like running up to a stranger on the street and yelling at them that you are now pregnant. Now think about running up to a person who has been struggling to get pregnant for years, maybey suffering losses, and yelling that you are pregnant. It's just rude to do that.

Has it occurred to anyone that maybe this is Slytherin coming back with an update? I mean the grammar alone is a dead giveaway!
A 'pregnent' drive bye?
