Sure, I saw the thread as well, and just as with everything people are entitled to their own opinions, and I agree if you don't like, or want, to read/post the threads, then don't.
But I really don't think that thread was directed at anyone personally, I think the OP was just trying to maybe help others that are in similar situations get their heads around it all.
I think the more involved you get with MN and TTC'ing, the more you feel like you have to conform to what other people do. Some TTC'ers will test with every wee from 10dpo, some won't test till they are a week late, each to their own I say.
Don't feel like you can't post about it all though, through all of the madness of the 'am I/aren't I' threads, the fact that you have got somewhere you can come and unload everything is a lifeline, it is up to individuals as to whether or not they use it, or if they feel that ignoring it as best as they can is a better route for them.
