I can't believe you all are grown women arguing on a message board. This sounds like some Teen Mom mess. I mean really? |
Goodness, no one (NO ONE) is suggesting that you can't post about your secondary infertility - to the contrary. You are misinterpreting my and others' post completely. |
Not 11:26, but I also don't see the need for another board. I think on a forum like this, the issue is one of line-drawing. The post that led to this discussion was not about secondary IF but about primary IF that resulted in two kids through IVF. So, would you need a separate forum for secondary IF and another one for folks with IF that have kids? Neither board would get much traffic and the folks over here would not benefit from as much knowledge from folks that have had success. I have a child after IVF and cannot have kids without IVF, so I try to word my posts very carefully, but I also try to post useful information. I wouldn't do that if it was felt that I was not welcome to receive support as well or have my own questions answered. |
There are several posters that reference creating another board, which does imply that secondary IF folks aren't welcome here. It is what it is, and I think it is silly, ![]() |
Like another poster said, go to other forums - NONE of this fighting and arguing exists. Why? Because they are set up better than DCUM. Infertility is broad. Open up a few more boards and you will actually get support on them, rather than fighting, |
Good God people, this is ridiculous. DCUM simply doesn't have the traffic to support any more infertility forums. And as others have said, where do you draw the line? All because of a few people who seem unable to just hit the close button on threads that don't apply to them. |
Maybe they would get more traffic if set up differently. |
Or maybe it would get more traffic if people weren't so nasty. ![]() |
Unbelievable how some people think the entire world should revolve around their specific needs. |
Interesting that a post dedicated to compassion devolves into a nasty thread that includes post like these. No one said the world revolves around them and they're specific needs. One poster suggested that there are forums that are an alternative to DCUM that provide a safe space for people to discuss particular areas of infertility, including miscarriage and secondary infertility, that often get short shrift on this sight and aren't always taken as seriously. That's all. But that post plus some really nasty poster and what do you get? A typical unpleasant DCUM thread lacking compassion. Go figure. ![]() |
Seriously. This thread has devolved into typical DCUM nastiness and argument. It could not be any better support for the idea that you should definitely check out the other infertility forums for support. On this topic, I believe DCUM is pretty much only good for, "Looking for a New RE" type local recommendation posts. |
This. |
And this. |
Really? Please explain how you think I "misinterpreting" some of these gems from the other thread:

Fell right into it. What a bitch you are! |
