Am I in the wrong place? *BzeetyD*

BzeetyD, you got me thinking with your last post.  I feel like I'm in the wrong place but I'm not sure where to post.  I was posting on 3T and still occasionally do but mostly lurk.  I felt like they were still beginners at being infertile and still learning the ropes sort of.  I guess with us just in a stand still, where we have been for almost two years now, I'm not sure where I should be.

I feel weird because we STILL haven't even began to do an ART cycle but it's just been so long that I feel I fall into the IF board.  Am I wrong?  Should I just not be on the boards until we are actually in a cycle?  I'm just lost and confused.  I've felt this way for a while but now that it has actually been brought up, maybe I should be asking because I REALLY do not want to upset or annoy anyone.

Where do you think I should be?

I think you should be where you feel the most comfortable.

That's how I feel about myself, too.

But it's hard when there isn't a place that suits you well, for whatever reason. I think when a board starts to feel painful, for any reason - it might be time to move someplace else - but it's hard when that someplace else doesn't exist.

I don't think you're being sarcastic... maybe you are. If so, I am not the queen of any board and it's not in my nature to tell anyone where they can and can't post.

Be where you feel supported.

I hope you don't mind me jumping in here since you weren't asking me but I just wanted to say FWIW that I wouldn't mind you being here. IMO this board is for people dealing with infertility and that includes you even though you aren't actually going through IVF yet. Just wanted to let you know I'd welcome you...

 Agreed.  Especially since you have been active and supportive...though, IMO anyone who feels the need to be here, should be welcome to it.  There shouldn't be any hard and fast lines...other than the obvious (like not actually having an IF issue, etc)

Okay thanks ladies.  I just feel awkward sometimes, I guess I'll just continue supporting and learning while we continuing waiting.  Thank you for the reassurance.
