it has been brought to my Attention that some may have gotten offened
by the wacky posting..
please dont ever think that i dont think how hard or important ivf is or not being able to have a baby.
i have wanted nothing more sence the death of my fisrt child 22 years ago.
some where in life we have to beable to find a way to laugh..
this forum as ment alot to me over the last couple of years..
at times the pain was so hard i couldnt come on i wanted to just culr up and die.. how many times can you survve barrying your children or time and time again getting neg..

this forum helped me threw that.. i have no doubt in my heart and soul that i to would be dead if it wasnt for women on here.
for there courage to be so open and honest..
i have wondered a couple of times if someone wasnt a bit upset over the fun posting..
i had hoped that if that was the case that you would beable to be honest and say something..
there has to be that trust or this forum isnt what it used to be..
that would be sad..
it was great to see so many more women signing in and having a laugh.. and getting some of there feelings out..

but if anyone is truly offenend please let us know....
until then happy posting and keep being there for your friends..
i for one have had a great time trying to find all of the post....
it has made me smile and even laugh..

Ahh Becky. Don't be sad!!! Think of the lovely yellow and black dress you bought

Spelling?

What spelling? I must be voted the worst speller of the centuary. My dh is dyslexic and manages to correct me all the time. It is comforting to see other woman have more important things to think about than SPELLING

Hee Haaa

Night night Becky, I'm going to sleep now.
Take care
Tessa

PS; I hope I cheered you up a little????

Definitely NOT offended! I think there has to be some fun and laughter in amongst all this seriousness and angst.

Thank you for helping to lighten the mood and keep up the good work!

Cheers
Heather

Can't say much can I?

Been there, had fun, guilty as charged...

It's good to light things off a bit.

Life's too serious as it is and it helps to see someone bring on the fun... even if it is just for posts

Becky,

This site and the laughs I've had from all of you have helped much more than you realize! Never once have I thought anything I've read was offensive. I've laughed out loud and loved every minute of it!!

Keep the laughs coming!
Katy

Hi Becky

Not at all I think it is quite funny, the thing is we can't be serious all the while can we? I do have some banter with you saying you would do anything to get to the top 10 but its all just said in jest.
Carry on to the full.

Love
Shell.

Hi Girls ... I can't say I'm "offended" by all the nonsense postings, but sometimes it does seem a bit OTT. I'm all for having a laugh, but it seems at the moment there are soooo many threads of wackiness.

I've got to say that it has become a major epic everyday trawling through all the postings. Why not just stick to a couple of threads for crazy postings, then we can get the boards back to how they used to be ... still very supportive - but informative and structured (all the Newbies must think we're really bonkers !).

Hi,

This is a response to some PMs I have written recently I suspect.

I've never read anything offensive, nothing that makes me want to log off straight away but .....I find trawling through 20 threads of 'fun' topics trying to find people's news hard work. My heart sinks if I open the General Forum and can't see a single monthly buddy thread without scrolling down. I really like the idea of having somewhere specific for people who just want to say Hi and how's the weather, what's for dinner, what are you doing this weekend? etc. Why not start a thread called 'Just Chat' or similar and people who like to chase each other around, teasing, sending smileys and relaxing, can do it there???

Like Sandra, I wonder what new people think and worry that we look at bit cliquey at times, that it's hard for people to see where to join in because we look too closed-in. Does that make sense?

Again, never been offended but would love to see just a couple of chat threads.

Debra.

Hi

Agree totally with you all - never been offended by anything I have read on here, but sometimes I don't have time to read all the posts and catch up on everyones latest news and when posting replies am scared of missing someone out in sending good luck messages and I don't want anyone to be offended by that!!!

Have to agree that I find the ‘off-topic’ threads a little frustrating when I’m searching for news on test results and general information. Being a Newbie, this board has been so helpful for me in gleaning information such as Zita West etc, but I’m beginning to find it difficult to search for this genuinely useful information amongst these other topics. I mostly use the PC during working hours, so also have to be careful not to be on the site too long, so having to spend valuable time scrawling down to find the useful threads is a little tiresome I have to say.

Agree with Debra – perhaps a new forum for ‘Off-Topic’ could be created? That way those who want to chat about non-IVF can have their own forum!

A chat thread it is .... as long as nobody is offended that is what really matters.

Can we keep the sunshine thread too I really like that

Agree with all comments, lets have a balance, but do lets still have lots of fun, this is the only place we have to laugh about it

hi. i think this has been a really useful thread and will probably get the board back on track. i, like some others have found it frustrating to try and sift through all of the threads to actually find out how people are doing and to get the info i am sometimes so keen to discover. it has seemed as though the pace has taken off at such a rate, it can be offputting to contribute. i'm sure a chat or off-topic thread will mean that the other posts will be much easier to spot. just because we are posting within serious threads doesnt mean we cant have a giggle at some of what is happening. it just will allow people to have more choice about how they participate in the board. it would be awful to see peopple who need the support put off.... this is such a minefield of information and support and is important to all of us. it also is of course great fun too. hope this way we are all happy.
