I got a PCOS diagnosis with anovulation back in March I was in a mad Google spiral, when I decided to post something on TD. Apparently shit had already hit the fan, & I was brought over by an amazing soul on GKU. I have been actively participating since
I came with the exodus. At that point I was still only active on my BMB, but the regs got together and decided that if it could happen to Parenting it could happen to us.
Most of the rest of our board made the switch when the complete demodding was finished out of loyalty to our mod.
I was active on TD on my BMB with Little, but had already moved over to FB when the exodus happened. So I lurked while it went down. I knew this board existed, but didn't venture over here until I got my BFP with this one at the suggestion of the woman I babysit for who is active in august 14.
I joined TD after the exodus. It was alright but I spent most of my time lurking/ searching, and I quickly caught on to the fact that it had changed this year, and that all the regs were elsewhere. It was actually DanaScullyX signature that made me try to find TCF. I'm glad to be here.
Was originally on The Knot, back in 2009/2010 when MH and I got married. Returned to TD in 2011 when TTC DD. Because of the overwhelming help on TD, I was able to get my PCOS diagnosis way earlier then I would have otherwise. Joined my BMB and was active on there (though not nearly was much as I would've liked). I was a bit MIA for a while (like 2 weeks) and missed the boat for my BMB, as they started their own forum. Finally got rescued and made my way there. I was able to read that most left and came here, so established myself on TCF. And here I am. Happy to be here.
7.31.10 Married August 2011 - Started TTC, Dx with PCOS, 3 cycles of Clomid (and countless months of Metformin) and an HSG ... 7.10.13 DD Born May 2015 TTC #2 - One cycle of nothing (just Metformin), then once cycle of Clomid, then 2 cycles of Letrozole, the second cycle w/ a trigger Due 6.10.16 - Team GREEN
I was on TD, mostly as a lurker but was also on the March '14 board (and before that when ttc). I started lurking over here with the exodus and started listing regularly after my loss in May.
I love that it's a smaller community, that's why I ended up lurking on TD, I just couldn't keep up....
I hung out on TD (TD=The Dump=The Bump)and came over with the exodus.
This. But between life and the Internet drama I didn't stick around long and deleted my account shortly after.
Though experiencing another loss, and lack of real support made me realize how much I benefited from the online community before so I'm glad to be giving it another go
I was on the Nest for a long time until it basically died out and my board moved to facebook to a private group. When I got a BFP in January I headed over to TD and found it pretty lacking. From various poaching posts I figured out where everyone had gone, and I stuck around after my loss because CAL is such a supportive board and I found it really helpful. Now I'll be on CAR and J16 if things work out with this pregnancy.
I also joined after the exodus. I wasn't really sure exactly what happened but it was explained more after moving. I wanted to stay with the group and I'm glad I did!

I lurked on TD throughout 2013 with my first pregnancy. When we started trying again early this year, I went back. I lurked again and even posted a couple of times but finally could not handle the same questions over and over. (Also there was a rash of new bans in the spring and the new TTGP "regs" formed some sort of private group, making me even less interested.) Some investigation led me here for more months of lurking, until bfp.
I was an occasional poster on TK while I was planning my wedding back in 2011, then joined my bmb on TB when I was pregnant with DS. I didn't post much though because it was full of drama and crazies. I started posting on N'15 here with my last pregnancy and became active on the loss boards after my MC.

I was on the knot website (not forum) and moved to the bump when I was considering egg donation. By the time of the exodus, I was done donating and had basically left, but checked in every couple months to see how folks were doing, and because we were about ready to TTC. I happened to be lurking when the shit hit the fan. Made a note of this place, and started lurking when we'd been trying for a while. Finally introed on GKU and that was apparently the secret sauce for my bfp.

Was on the bump, then when they leaked my info I got pissed made then delete everything I had posted there and then came over here with my March14 BMB. I don't have time for other boards but joined this one so I have a group to be KU with.

I too was on the bump- for a long time actually in the IF and then PAIF groups. Then my bmb moved over here, but now we are mostly just on Facebook. But I thought I would come back because I love my O14 bmb and want that experience again.
I was on TB with a bmb then the exodus happened just before I got pregnant in January (mc) so much came over here. I'm not active with the bmb anymore as I just couldn't keep up.

I was a regular on The Knot (still am to a certain level) and tried out TB when I was TTC but found it annoying with all the rules and felt like the "trigger warning" requirements were a bit overboard. Some TK friends pointed me here so here I am! I did post for a bit on the TTC after 35 board on TB, which was way more chill than the regular TTC board, but I wasn't a big fan of the BMB after lurking for a bit. It's too crowded over there too. I have no idea who anyone is. I prefer a smaller group.

I was on TB but mostly lurked my BMB since it was hard to keep up. The exodus happened right when we were all having our babies (d14) so I jumped over and started participating more. I haven't spent time on any of the other boards at all but live my d14 ladies and wanted to try and keep up with you guys too since it's nice to have people at the same stage to vent/share/celebrate with. We'll see how well I can keep up with both!

I was pretty active in TD's May 14 board, but before the exodus, had moved over to FB. I mostly lurk on the M14 TCB board (as I have horrible mom board time management skills), but am hoping to be more active on here.
