I feel like 6 months is a good splitting point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357626 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:23:58 +0000 Crystal 1357626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HolisticMama: I love all the threads! It's nice to see some good TTC board activity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357610 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:08:49 +0000 HolisticMama 1357610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I kind of went crazy today and posted a thread about every thought that crossed my mind. LOL.<br /> And I loved that I saw some new faces! It was wonderful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357518 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 18:45:44 +0000 Crystal 1357518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I feel that way too because I am new to posting to the boards, but I have been struggling with TTC. </p> <p>Everyone here has been so nice and supportive, though. </p> <p>@LindsayInNY: Were you going to start one? I do love the idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357349 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 17:25:08 +0000 HolisticMama 1357349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Aww. :( I don't think anyone here would judge you at all based on your feelings. Everyone can remember back to the beginning of cycles. Everyone is so supportive here (and honestly- the boards move so fast I can't even keep track of what cycle people are on. LOL). But I do understand your feelings.<br /> And now we have our very own Newbie First Timers thread. LOL. </p> <p>People can come there to ask what acronyms mean. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357283 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 17:00:55 +0000 dc yoga bee 1357283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: I agree. We need a place for *everyone* to feel safe whether they are a newbie or not. Sometimes, I feel I best keep my feelings to myself since I'm newer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357280 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:59:46 +0000 Happygal 1357280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: that would be nice. I wouldn't want anyone to feel excluded. . . someone might be at only month 4 but have known fertility challenges and feel more at home with the "been there, done that" crew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357269 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:55:29 +0000 Adira 1357269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's weird... with my due date twins thread, I prefer everything in one big thread because we're like one big happy family. But I feel like with the TTC threads, it might be easier to break it up into multiple threads. Mainly because there are a LOT more TTCers (and NTNPers that participate) and since each month brings a whole new set of days to POAS and deal with the TWW, it's always hopping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357266 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:53:48 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1357266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ha! thanks for the shout out! i kind of like the putting the CD in the POAS thread just because it helps keep it moving on the slow days and gives the obssesive types like me something to obsess about but i am open to and happy with all. I do think it's nice that there is a 6 month and up thread because i would personally start to find it frustrating being on the other thread and watching so many come and go without understanding how i felt but i also wouldnt be quite ready for the infertility thread yet at that point. it's a nice in between and it also helps because people who are freaking out about being on month 2 have a safe place to do so without offending people who are on month 6 or more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357248 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:50:00 +0000 LindsayInNY 1357248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Maybe I word the title thread so as to let people decide where they fit best? For example, at 6 months, I only had 4 cycles so I probably would've been fine in the "younger" group. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357239 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:47:19 +0000 Crystal 1357239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I really like this idea. It would be easier sometimes to relate or talk to people who had been struggling for longer. </p> <p>Though I do like the idea of getting people to know all TTCers, sometimes the specialized board would be helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357230 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:43:22 +0000 Happygal 1357230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: do it, do it! I'm not sure about when to split....I think people start to feel worried around 6 months, and 9 months is definitely another milestone for some reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357216 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:32:05 +0000 HolisticMama 1357216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Ooooh! I see...like the POAS thread has the count down of people testing! I see... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357214 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:31:14 +0000 pui 1357214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HolisticMama: That thread isn't really a POAS thread though. It's sort of a chat room/support board for people who have been TTC for more than 6 months. It doesn't track when people O or are in the TWW or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357210 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:29:27 +0000 HolisticMama 1357210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: That already exists, no?<br /> <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-6-months-plus</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357208 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:27:39 +0000 LindsayInNY 1357208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: @Happygal: Maybe I'll start a February thread for 6+ month-ers? Is that a good dividing line or should it be longer - like 9+ months/cycles? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357200 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:24:30 +0000 Happygal 1357200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: if that split occurred, I might be tempted to participate in a POAS thread again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357188 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:17:36 +0000 septca 1357188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: When all us TTCers used to be on WB, it was split like that - one for POAS (that included anyone who wanted to join, but was mostly newbies), and one for 6+ months. Some of the women from 6+ became close friends who know me better than anyone. Having a place to share your struggles can be a wonderful bonding experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357178 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:15:37 +0000 HolisticMama 1357178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually...I just want to actually know where people are in their TTC Journey. </p> <p>:: going to start new thread :: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357171 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:12:51 +0000 dc yoga bee 1357171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I think this is a great idea!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357150 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 16:02:17 +0000 Shutterbug 1357150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: @pui: Yeah, this is why I haven't participated in a POAS thread in like, a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357080 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 15:31:46 +0000 pui 1357080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Yeah this seems like a good idea. Sometimes it's hard to relate to others when you are in such separate stages of TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357066 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 15:26:30 +0000 LindsayInNY 1357066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This might be biased, but part of me wouldn't mind two POAS threads - one for newbies (&lt;6 months?), one for not-so-newbies (6+ months?) OR one for LO#1, one for LO#2+? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357057 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 15:22:00 +0000 snowjewelz 1357057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HolisticMama: Thanks! I think I will! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1357044 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 15:15:36 +0000 HolisticMama 1357044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I think that's a great idea! You should start it. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1356918 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 14:15:01 +0000 snowjewelz 1356918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think separate threads is better because I really do want to read people's responses but sometimes the page length is intimidating! </p> <p>I don't know my cycles well enough to POAS or be in the TWW, maybe some of the early/first time TTC-ers can start a new thread too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1356807 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:35:10 +0000 Crystal 1356807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HolisticMama: I think thats a great balance! It would be nice to share some of the other stuff with a larger group. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1356800 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:32:53 +0000 Radish 1356800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer to keep the monthly POAS threads to just that and have some other threads as TWW downtime killers. It might also be nice to have additional separate weekly threads for TWW - for example if you POAS at the beginning or end of a month you get kind of lost in the pack with how the month thread is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1356772 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:20:22 +0000 HolisticMama 1356772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel the same way, really. Haha. Maybe I will keep my random thoughts and responses on the POAS thread and if I have a question for the whole group- I will start a separate thread so that other people could join in too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-big-thread-or-separate-threads-for-ttcers#post-1356766 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:18:49 +0000 Crystal 1356766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aria: Neither was my answer, LOL,</p> <p>BTW- I ♥ your name. </p>
