Infertility

Thank you and an apology

Hi everyone!  This is going to be my last post to this board - but before going I wanted to offer my most sincere apologies.  I did not realize that there was a Secondary IF board and I apologize for any pain that I may have inadvertently caused by posting here.  I feel like such a jackass - I didn't even know what Secondary IF was until I saw it in an informative post below.  I am very, very sorry!!

Before I leave - I also wanted to thank you for all of the support, comfort and information that you provided to me during my stay here.  I will miss you ladies so much and I wish the absolute best for all of you - wherever your journeys take you!  GL!!!!

Re: Thank you and an apology

  • I think most of us agree that all are welcome here. This just is a safe place- so we do not talk about children/babies here. But if you did want to talk about the children you already have- there is a place for that.
    I know I brought up the topic in informative post- but I only wanted it added so people knew about it. It seems as though some people don't know what 2ndary IF is or that there is a group.

  • ***2IF warning***

    About a week after I joined this board, I made the same kind of post. The ladies here convinced me to stay, and I'm glad I did! I was asked to keep pictures or tickers out of my siggy (I didn't have any anyways) and put a warning if I were to mention anything, but other than that, I don't have to think about it at all! I know that what we're going through is different than primary IF, but many of us whom are TTC another child went through this the first time too, so we do have empathy and can share in the emotions and experiences.

    Of course, I don't speak for the whole board (nor should I, considering!) but I know that I have felt nothing but love and encouragement from everybody here!
