not 1 reply. I am sorry if I am intruding in any way. I asked a week or so ago if I could join and I got several responses welcoming me which was great. I noticed that nearly every post today got replies except mine. Am I not welcome here? I just wanted to ask, I am feeling very sad so I hope this didn't come out wrong, I am just looking for some help and support Thank you.

Of course you are welcome and don't take it personally. Welcome to the board and I hope your TTC journey is short. The reasons some posts get missed is because there are so many posts or it just got missed or some people post the ones they know. Sorry you didn't feel welcome but you most definately are.

Dawn, I am very sorry that you didn't get any responses to your posts. Sometimes there aren't any good answers to questions, so instead of offering an "I don't know" to a question, it's easier to leave the question unanswered. Of course, I can't speak for everyone, that is just how I handle questions or comments that I don't have anything good to offer.

Believe me, this is a good place to go for support. Don't give up.

((((HUGS)))

I am sorry that no one responded. I don't come in here as often as I used to. Plus I don't know alot of the answers. I didn't see your post. But don't get discouraged. Like the previous person said there are a lot of posts so some can get missed. I don't get on here until after work. That is usually after 6 or 8. So I am not on for long. Good luck

Dawn, I wouldn't take it personally, just as the other two ladies said. I first joined the board about two or three weeks ago, and I didn't get many responses, either, or welcomes, for that matter. Just keep in mind that a lot of these women are really busy, and some of them have been on the boards a long time and have long-standing friendships. It's hard to be a newbie and try to step in on something. You are welcomed here, and like one of the other women said, a lot of the time the members just don't have an answer for you, or they just don't have a response. It's nothing personal.

That aside, as a newbie, I'd like to welcome you as another newbie! I hope your stay here is short and sweet, and I hope you get most, if not all, of your questions answered. Good luck!

Hey Dawn,

Another suggestion for you...if you notice that one of your posts has gotten "buried" by other posts (and that can happen a lot on this busy board), you can just reply to your own post (just type "bump"), and it will move it back up to the top of the board to let everyone know you're still waiting for a response. Hope this helps! Sorry we weren't a very "welcoming" group today, but don't give up on us yet. This really is a great group!

Aww hugs Dawn sometimes this board gets moving so fast. I saw your post on the TTC 6+ and I know you got a reply. Please don't take it the wrong way this is just a quick moving board but these ladies are wonderful and are here for each other!!! Hugs girl

((((((((HUGS)))))))) Dawn! I'm sorry you didn't receive any responses. I agree with the other ladies who posted - this board moves so fast that it's hard to keep up. I know I used to post a lot more but in the past few weeks I have been so busy at work that I haven't had a chance to reply as much as I'd like.

Don't give up on us though! This is a great board! Good luck in your TTC journey ~ I hope your stay is short and sweet!

I'm SO sorry you felt ignored, Dawn! That's a lousy feeling to have, especially when you're new to a place. Please know we've all been there (with having posts without responses) and I know how rotten it can feel. And somehow it always seems to happen on a day when, emotionally, you just can't handle one more thing that feels like a rejection or personal attack! LOL. But I can say with absolute certainty that it's NEVER intentional. If you stay, you will see how wonderful and supportive this board is for everyone who is a part of it, no matter if you're an hourly poster, or a monthly one. So please please stay -- we DO welcome you here!

I think the suggestion about giving your posts a "bump" is a great one; I've done that plenty of times!! One other thing to keep in mind is that not everyone reads the whole board. I can't speak for everyone, but I myself only read the posts in sections that correspond with where I'm at in my cycle...so for example this week I'm reading stuff in the 2WW section, I scan the "general/welcome wagon", and I always check BFPs so I can help to celebrate. So if you find you've posted something, say, in Sisters of Irregularity, and don't seem to be getting any response, maybe try posting a note like "Can anyone help me with my question in Sisters of Irregularity?" in the general/welcome wagon folder to point folks' attention there who might otherwise never even give the "sisters" foler a glance that day.

At any rate, please know you are TOTALLY welcome here, though I sure hope your stay is short and sweet. Here are some ++++ thoughts and vibes coming your way!!

Hugs,

Jennifer

I'm SO sorry you're feeling ignored, Dawn! As you can see by the responses above, it was totally unintentional. Sometimes if we don't know the answer then we pass by the post and leave it for someone who does. Every morning when I come on I make a point of going through the previous days posts to make sure no one was left without any replies. Even if it is just to say I'm sorry I don't know, at least that way the post will bw popped back up and someone else may see it. Please stay and continue to ask your questions! We'll make a special effort.
