I've noticed that there have been some posts from people that weren't
really PCOS related, but I haven't thought anyone's been being rude
about asking if they have PCOS.
The answers always seemed to be nice, but also pointed out that this is
a PCOS board, so we might not be the right group to ask--especially
about ttc stuff if you have a normal cycle. I don't even know what a
normal cycle is! LOL.
If I tell people to go to another source it's because I sincerely think
they'll get better answers there (such as the Pregnancy and Birth
forum). Not that I think you were talking about me or anything...I
don't think I've been rude.
Remember that email is void of all the body language and voice
inflection that personal conversation has, so sometimes a message may
"sound" one way to some one and completely different to another, you
know?
Okay, now I'm just babbling and probably getting you mad at me, so I'll
just shut up. ;-I
