    So he is your boyfriend (as you are unmarried), yet you stay home without a job? ... Ok. It's not like it's recipe for disaster if your relationship would end or something.
    Please don't judge me or my situation without knowing 100% of every little detail there is to know. I don't have to explain myself to anyone, but this negativity is absolutely unnecessary. I'm looking for advice please. Positive advice about conceiving and obviously whether or not I need to start buying baby stuff. Everything else, I didn't ask your opinion on, so please don't give yours to me. I know what I'm doing with my relationship and my life. I don't need your help on any of that. So let's please stick to the topic of this thread, okay?

    There @emejay, she sure told you. And guys, STICK TO THE TOPIC!!!!!!

    Yup, she told me good.

    YOU DON'T KNOW MY LYFEEE !!11!!!!1!

    And FTR @jennalking2013 - I did give you advice previously and I am not married myself.

    But why bother. You seem to only want to hear what you want so go ahead and buy all the baby stuff!

  • If you want to ask everyone here for advice and opinions, then expect comments positive and negative. This doesnt seem like the site for you if this is already your reaction.

    Maybe this site isn't for me. Are there any sites where I don't have to expect people to be rude to me for no good reason when all I want is help and support? Or can I just expect that every site I sign up for, women will be hateful and rude and negative to me, and there will be nothing I can do about it (not even defend myself) without getting more negativity? If that's the case, then I suppose I'll just do all of this alone. I just thought this would be a nice community of women who all share a common interest and who would actually want to HELP one another. What a concept! I guess we can't just do that on here... It's a shame... I never wanted to be rude or judge mental to anyone ): women shouldn't be allowed to be rude and negative on here. I just don't think it's right. I mean crap, I come here for help, not to be badgered by complete strangers. I guess I had unrealistic hopes in humanity though. I forgot how society has changed so much that it's actually okay to be a jerk to people. In fact, it's abnormal to be nice, and people instantly classify you as "fake" if you're not mean to people... But there's simply nothing I can do about it. I guess I'll be getting off here. Y'all have a good time being mean to each other and destroying each other's self esteem and lives. It sounds like a total party, but I have better things to do with my time. Lol.
  • I need those of you are that are leaving negative comments to kindly stop commenting please. I need help and advice here. Not a bunch of grown women trying to tear me down. If you don't know my situation 100% then don't judge me. You don't know me at all or what's going on at home or how well my relationship is doing. And frankly, it's really no ones business, but I'm actually here trying to get advice. Please act like a grown woman and either give advice or get off the thread. No one is forcing anyone to look at, or read, any of this. Except me. I have to look at every single comment, because I need the advice, and I don't know when I'll accidentally read a rude comment. I haven't done anything to anyone on here, I'm not being rude or hurtful to you. So stop being rude to me. It's as simple as that. I'm trying so hard to be nice to everyone, even people being rude. Please, give that same effort to be nice to me.
    Lol you keep editing your comments, which makes it hard to keep up with quoting your idiotic statements. I have WORK TO DO!

    I do apologize. I felt as if I was being attacked, which is totally not the response I was expecting on an advice board about conception. I didn't mean to offend you, as I already said. And I did already apologize to you if it did happen to offend you. But I guess I'll say it again. I'm sorry it offended you, I didn't mean it the way you interpreted it. That's what I just said it my previous response, but I believe you, once again, perceived it differently than I intended. Again, I apologize.

    No problem!  I think a few of us read your wording that way so it wasn't just me.  This is all you have to do.  Be open minded to all responses - you will get the full gamut.


    I'm actually going to just delete my profile... Not because of you. Just because some women are genuinely being rude. And I honestly don't deserve that. I just need help. I came here looking for comfort and advice and positive reinforcement, and next thing I know, people are being rude and judgmental left and right, and I'm being told I just need to accept it... But that's not okay to me. I'm not just going to accept it. I would so much rather do it on my own than have complete strangers stressing me out. (Again, you're not one of them, we just had a simple misunderstanding). This will be easier for me to do completely alone if this is how it's going to be. Thank you for being understanding with me. I wish all of these ladies were like that. I'm glad you can survive this ridiculousness lol have a nice day sweetie!(: I really mean it. Goodbye!(:

    I edited it only once. My comments are not idiot. You are simply a sick person. I came here for comfort. Not to be called an idiot and criticized. But don't worry. You ran me off. I'll never be logging on here ever again lol goodbye.




  •    DH makes enough money where I do not need to work (lucky me)


    This is the second time you've said something to this effect and it's bugging me.  Not every woman is longing for a husband to make enough so she can not work.  I have a Ph,D, and career.  I think I'm damn lucky to be working and would never want it any other way.

    As you can see, we all have different perspectives around here.  Just be mindful of that when you post.

    I agree with the other ladies that starting to shop now might not be the best idea.  Relax and enjoy the ride!

    When did I ever say every woman was longing for a husband that made enough money that she didn't have to work? If you don't assume things, you don't get offended. You are choosing to take it as if I am trying to offend you, or rather, you are choosing to be offended by it, when you don't even have to be. I meant nothing by that. Other than, I'm simply happy that I am in that predicament, because that is what I WANT, even if it's not what other moms wants. I didn't step on your toes by saying any of that, and I'm not going to watch what I say about it just because it might bug you. I'm sorry if it does, but that's certainly not my intention. And you definitely shouldn't be offended by it at all, especially not enough to say something to me about it. I need positive advice, not negative complaints. Please, try to help me, instead of making my smile go away when I read your comments. I don't know how old you are or how many children you have or how long you've been TTC, but I'm young and new to all of this, the least you could do is try to help me, since you're on my thread. If you don't have anything nice to say, please don't comment. It actually bothers me and discourages me from even wanting to continue using the Bump. And that's just not cool... Oh boy. You're in for a long road here.


    Oh no I'm not lol I'm not going to deal with all of this. It's as simple as deleting my profile. And I am about to. It's been real fun ladies! Bye! Thanks for all the positive feedback I got before I decided I couldn't take the negative comments anymore! I really do appreciate all the help I got. Goodbye!

     It is not abnormal to be nice.  We do help each other and also newbits who come to the site every day.  But we don't blindly tell everyone ONLY what they want to hear. But you came in here, refusing to adapt to some norms of the community and refusing to listen to other viewpoints.  It tells us you are young and immature. That's okay. 

    There's no shame in deciding you don't like it here and moving on to other sites PPs have mentioned which will provide all the glitter and rainbows you could want. But you would definitely be wrong in thinking that this site is not supportive and helpful. Good luck to you!

    JFC. OP no one was rude to you. People pointed out how some of the things you posted could be offensive to some people. Then you got all defensive and hilarity ensued. Now you're all "Goodbye Cruel Bump!" @cruelsound is wise.

     TTC since August 2011, Me = 40, DH = 38
    Unexplained IF. Tried Clomid for 3 cycles. All BFNs. BFP 1/6/13. Chemical pregnancy.

  • God I love these threads. They make my boring work morning so much better!

    Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013

    DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help

    Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube

    April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if

    it's bad too. RE suggests going straight to IVF

    June 4, 2014 - LAP/HSC and unexpected endo. removed but tubes got to stay!

    June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue

    is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA  in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.

    TTCAL BLOG

    All ALers welcome!

  • I decided I am not going to delete my profile over things that I didn't like. You all are right. That is very immature. I am emotional as all get out right now, and I completely over reacted. Sorry for being a "cry baby", though you could have put it a little more nicely. Of course, you don't know me, so why in the world would you try to be nice to me after I reacted the way I did?
    Ladies, I apologize. You are right, I am young, and maybe a little immature. I am mature on a lot of levels, but I definitely didn't show it today. I would really appreciate it if y'all would let me show you that I am actually a mature, respectable young woman. Again, I am really sorry for the way I reacted. I was letting my emotions get the best of me. I will leave this thread up, so that if anyone else wishes to comment (or make fun of me) can do so freely. 
    I will not necessarily ignore the advice that I get that I don't like, but I will ignore someone being snide and disrespectful. I hope all of you know that when I said "Am I Crazy...?" it was actually a figure of speech. That is why I got offended. I am not crazy. And wanting to buy baby things doesn't make me crazy in the least. I will just end up regretting it. I understand that, as I said about 30 comments ago (in case none of you saw). However, I did act a bit crazy when I started getting answers that I didn't like. And I will definitely be taking better control of that. 
    I apologize, once more, to all of you that I have offended or bothered or upset today. Please try to find it in your heart to forgive me. I could really use a little guidance right now. That's all I need. All I ask is that when you give me guidance, that you try to do it in a positive manner. Just like you would do with your children, you should do it with anyone that you are trying to help. 
    Thank y'all so much! I hope to talk to some of you again soon, and this time, with a more positive attitude on both sides of the conversation! Have a wonderful day ladies! <3

    "Sorry" for being a baby, but you guiz are so mean. :( That's what I took away from this. Seriously, the tone of this board won't change. I think you would be better off on tww.com or babygaga.
    Well that's definitely not how I meant it. I really am apologizing. I only came here because I wanted to connect with other women who are in the same situation as me. And if there is anyone who wants to help me through all of this, and give me advice, then I welcome it with open arms! 
    I really am sorry. I never said anything that implied that I was saying sorry while contradicting myself and saying everyone is so mean. Sure, there were some unnecessary things said, but that doesn't make everyone cruel and out to get me. Even the comments that were a little disrespectful and rude, they were still true and accurate. So, yes, it bothered me, but there was still truth in it all. 
    I'm okay with the truth, even if I don't like what I hear. I just need everyone to please be respectful with their answers, as they would want anyone else to treat them. It's as simple as that. That was all I was saying. I am sorry that I wasn't clear enough the first time around, and I hope you understand now what I was saying and that I wasn't acting the way you originally thought I was acting.
    If you still take this as me being childish, please let me know. Please! I am more than happy to clear things up for you and anyone else reading this!(:
    Thank you!

  • Meh, I've seen worse starts go on to become loved posters.

    OP- lurk around a bit, see if the tone of the board is one you enjoy. It's not going to change. It's actually a million times nicer than it was 4-5 years ago.

    Thank you so much for those encouraging words!(: I definitely plan on lurking for awhile before I post anything else! God bless you! <3
  • I just read this whole thread this morning and I was definitely rolling my eyes at some of the comments you were making, but you know what?  I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt, I appreciate when someone owns up to their mistakes.  And FTR (for the record), paragraphs are really awesome ;)

    I have been here a while now, and I can tell you with all honesty this is an amazingly knowledgeable and supportive group, but you really do get what you put in. Stick around, check out the newbie blog if you haven't and lurk - that's honestly the best way to see how things work around here, and see if this community is a good fit for you.  And for your original question, 17 months in, I'm glad I didn't buy a bunch of baby stuff when we started, it would be far too painful to look at by this point.

    Gosh thank you so much!(: You don't know what that means to me! I am definitely just going to tough it out and make some good friends here and become a regular part of the community. I can't wait until I'm not a newbie anymore :P lol

  • I'm a little late .... Always.

    No don't buy anything until the second trimester. I have an antique dresser that my husband bought for the baby I lost yesterday that the only reason I haven't taken an ax to it is because he hid it near his antique car, and I'm sure I'd damage the car in the process. He moved it because everytime I look at it I cry.

    So just wait!!
    Fucking bump!!!!
  • Just saw this thread - I like a happy ending :)

    I have a few baby things but we only bought them because we knew we'd never see them again if we didn't jump on the chance.  They're hidden in a box in a closet in a room we don't use very often so I don't have to see it all the time.  I also keep a private Pinterest board and cruise websites looking at stuff when I'm in the mood but I won't be making any purchases until I hit 2nd trimester (AFTER I get pregnant).

    Anyway, welcome!

I have an antique dresser that my husband bought for the baby I lost yesterday that the only reason I haven't taken an ax to it is because he hid it near his antique car, and I'm sure I'd damage the car in the process. He moved it because everytime I look at it I cry. So just wait!!
    Oh wow... I am so sorry for you loss ): I'll be praying for you... Thank you for your advice. Please, don't give up. I know it hurts right now, but you will be blessed as long as you have faith. I'll be praying for you. <3

    I love this board.  So very very much.  Bad starts aren't a death sentence and everyone is so supportive.  Stick around, OP!
    Thank you @Joy2611 I am definitely going to stick around! I do love this site, and it's so informative! I just need to get out of my newbie stage, and things will definitely get better :P Thank you for the support!
  • I'm sad I went to lunch and missed all the good stuff. Now it's all rainbows and sunshine. Good luck OP (original poster), just try to bring it down a few notches.
