Heeellloooo!

Hey everyone! I just got my BFP today!!! I tested early waaay early...im not even sure when I ovulated, I had an IUD and got it taken out in Aug and have had a 35,31, and 38 day cycle...so didn't know what to go off of??? But I passed out for 2 hours today and was totally knocked out dead to the world.....so I decided to test and got a + I waited until I had to go again and took a digital one and it said PREGNANT! wow...im only on CD 24....So I should not have been able to test for another 2 weeks! Well Happy New years day!!! :)

I totally read the title of this post like Jerry Seinfeld's belly button.  

Congrats and welcome.

Coming here and bashing TTGP isn't going to over well. You were rightly flamed for posting a BFP on a board where you didn't spend any time and didn't get to know anyone. What you did was akin to walking up to a bunch of strangers and telling them you are pregnant - would you do that in real life? It comes off as rubbing your BFP in the faces of people who are still TTC. Then you even had the balls to defend your drive-by by saying that people just need to be happy for you and not ruin your good mood - are you serious? Do you expect random strangers to go "Squeeeeee, congratulations on your pregnancy!"? 

Congrats, though, and welcome to 1st Tri.

I'll be honest, you kind of breached the etiquette on that board which is why you weren't so welcomed.  It's really a good idea to lurk first and read any "sticky" posts at the top of the boards.  What you did is considered a "drive by," it's the equivalent of shouting at a bunch of strangers "hey I'm pregnant!" Not something you'd do IRL and obviously not polite and people are going to give you the side eye for it. Another thing you don't want to do is go from one board to another complaining about them. Chances are, some of those bumpies post here and you are just going to be viewed as dragging drama around or tattling.  It doesn't go over well.

Agreed. Several of the ladies here were previously active on TTGP.  So bashing them will not go over well here. 

Anyway, congrats and welcome.

Why are you venting about the TTGP board here? There are a lot of us that came from that board and we DO understand why you were flamed. You posted a BFP without contributing at all to the board.

Your best bet at this point is to not bash another board especially when they can see what you are saying.

Congrats!

LOL. It's called the trying to get pregnant board. So you basically ran into a room full of strangers who are actively TTC and have formed a community of support and yelled, "I'm pregnant!"

And you're surprised you weren't welcomed with open arms. Heh.

if you truly were "passed out" (meaning you could not be woken up by shaking or yelling) for two hours, you need to see a doctor. You could have a serious medical issue.

Congrats!  Glad I found the first trimester forum first, or I probably would have committed the same faux pas to be honest.  Although i didn't get the impression your were  bashing anyone more so that you just didn't realize the best place to post. Rookie mistake   i suppose.  Newly pregnant myself, i am new to the board and was looking for support (from strangers, since i cant mention this to anyone in real life just yet).  I just am not very familiar with the etiquette myself.  Didn't realize it was that big a deal to be honest. Welcome, and congrats again.

"passed out" was an expression saying that i fell asleep harder then I usually do...not a medical condition to worry about.

There is a board explaining proper etiquette. It's called the newbie link which you should have read if you were a lurker. Every new person that comes to the bump gets told to read the newbie link by multiple people. You need to listen to the advice given and maybe you will learn something. You may even find the support and info that you keep talking about, but you need to open your ears!

Here's the thing, you have been given pretty good advice and instead of taking it you are acting like a drama queen.

When you get to a new board, read the stickies at the top (in the green squares) or here's an even better idea, go to the New to the Bump board and start there. Lurk and get to know the vibe of the board before you start posting so you don't make an a$$ out of yourself.  Stop posting this dramatic crap.  Lay low and respond to posts where you feel like you can be helpful.  There are those of us who are here simply for entertainment.  Not everyone is here for the same reasons.  I'm not saying you can't make friends here, obviously you can, but support is a two way street and you kind of have to be here a while and get to know people.  You wouldn't walk up to a complete stranger and expect her to be your support system just because she's pregnant, would you?  I certainly hope not.

The thing is yes you made an innocent mistake, I have actually posted in the TTC board although no where near as active as some others. I got flamed for my BFP post as well. I didn't know any better. However I didn't come to the other boards bashing either. If you get flamed suck it up and move on. That is not a good way to make friends. And yes now looking at the etiquette of that board I totally understand the reasoning behind it. I did read some of the newbie link but it was really long so I didn't finish it. Getting flamed and then turning around and trying to rub it in someones face never goes over very well on any of these boards. More often then not posters will go look at the previous thread and you will only invite further flaming. Ladies get flamed every day. Lurk a little bit you will see. It isn't just here its all the boards. We are strangers but some of us that have been around long enough have somewhat of a bond. You need to have a little thicker skin if you are going to make it on these boards.

You may have been there for support, but did you give any to other people? How can you expect people who don't know you to be excited about your pregnancy, particularly when they are still TTC? If you had been lurking for a minimal amount of time on TTGP, you would have known it wasn't proper etiquette to post your BFP there. So, you obviously weren't "there for support" for very long. I still don't understand why you are butthurt that complete strangers weren't excited for your positive pee stick.

Yes And, if you posted an intro (which is also an etiquette thing) the first response would have likely told you to check out the newbie link.
