Why am I so addicted...

to this message board? Seriously, people, I check it every 5-10 minutes when I am sitting here at my desk. I realize that part of it is boredom (I am an academic advisor and things are quiet around the summer), but this is ridiculous! And I flip back and forth between this board, the TTC 6 months + board, and the TTC#1 board.

Well, I guess admitting my addiction is the first step on the road to recovery! But I am actually looking forward to the end of the summer, when I will be much, much busier.

Anyone else this addicted?

i tell ya, if i had access to this board 24/7 i'd be on it as much as you i promise. i think it has a lot to do with the fact that we are all experiencing the same thing and its so easy to talk to people going through what you are.

Totally and completely addicted too. If you ever find the remedy for this malady please share! LOL!

I just think it's so great that there's a place like this where we can go to ask questions, vent, comiserate, celebrate etc. Reading books is one thing, but having actual input from people in the same situation -- as well as people who have already had babies or who have just found out they're PG -- is so invaluable!

I knew a little when we first decided to TTC but I've learned SO much here!

And that's why I'm addicted too! Tee hee!!

Yes, I check constantly. I read a good bit and post when I'm able to or feel I have info to offer someone. I probably don't post as much as I should but I take spells. Some days ( like today) I post a lot, some days, I just need a break. Hopefully , we won't have to establish a TTCA ( TTC Anonomous ). I think we'll all be ok.

Hehehe sign me up for TTCA! I too have been checking every 10 minutes! I am way out of control!! I just can't help myself. I think I may have figured out why I have this madness...

1) I am afraid if I don't check often I will miss the one magical post that will answer ALL my questions and enable me to get my BFP this cycle.

2) It feels good to interact with lots of others going on their 3 month of TTC, TTC#1, and all those great ladies who have been playing this TTC longer than me and have experienced doctor visits etc.

3) I like helping people and if I can offer some advice that helps just one person conceive sooner than otherwise I will be happy.

I wonder how long it will take me to burnout and have to remove myself from these boards for a bit.

{{{{{hugs}}}}} for my fellow addicts. I hope you don't have it as bad as me!

I am very addicted to this board. I only work a couple days per week and on those days I don't have computer access. It drives me crazy, so first thing I do when I get home is turn on the computer to see what I've missed on TTC that day.

Sign me up for TTCA!
