wow what a great thread..
I have been feeling both ways in the past..

when i was first on BB doing IVF/ ICSI ... only my is and 2 very close friends knew i was doing it... I would have been horrified if anyone else knew so remained completely annon to everyone on here ..

after all my BFN ...s i made a couple of friends on here who were just BB friends..... anyway i had one of them ask if she could email me... since i have more than one email i gave her the one i hardly use ............

she was also from Tassie and lived in a suburb of Hobart which was an outer suburb.... a VERY small area which I knew 2 pwople who lived there......I never told her i knew these people ..

we emailed for ages and finally after lots of emailing i agreed to being her friend on FB ....... this was a BIG step for me ...... we had a lot in common .... well now i have moved to Brissy ... I went back to Tassie to visit friends and stayed with one who lives in same suburb as BB friend and ended up meeting her .. was a good meet up and got to meet her kids too ... her and her DH both had cuddles with my baby too.

was a little weird but she was nice and her DH too .....

hey Jude .. you're prob reading this !!! lol

i used to be scared but now i have my baby i am less scared about it... I actually have 3 friends now from BB on facebook..... met one .... chatted to another heaps on the phone ... she lives in SA so a bit far away for visits and only recently someone who lives near me who i have yet to meet

i would do it again but i am carefull ....

great topic girls
