Our 3T Family - A Poem

BunnyBerry

OUR 3T FAMILY

 

…3T Magic...

 

Some may call it blessings,

Some may call it luck or fate -

But there's something magical around here

And it helps us all feel great!

 

@sugar4bri may have been surprised

By unexpected low counts;

But she's not letting it hold her back -

She's totally Humping It Out.

 

@waterlily234

Has found a youthful fountain;

Her AMH is now rising

As her age climbs the proverbial mountain!

 

@ttcbabyj saw a miracle

When her follicles naturally grew;

@catlover790 is happily O'ing now -

That's welcome and new.

 

...Frustrations…

 

This wild, wild ride that we're all on,

Is never going to be easy;

Infertility's full of frustrations, too.

(I guess that's why it's "Trouble" TTC.)

 

@kmdecoux's been hopelessly lapped

With 20 nephews and nieces;

@annaclaire256's teen boys

Are tearing her nursery plans to pieces.

 

@ky29 tried everything

From acupuncture to Chinese herbs,

And @rainbowbridge14's unpredictable

Ovaries have her disturbed.

 

@amlrunner is standing still,

Stuck on the bench for a while -

But @tiko99 did finally get off

So she's HIO with a smile.

 

...Our Community...

 

We pool our collective wisdom

And we calm each other's fears;

We join each other's laughter

And we share each other's tears.

 

When@aves0708 and @lebradford

Got their devastating news,

We mourned together with them

And shared a part of what it means to lose.

 

@ronniesgirl1981

Is struggling with DOR;

We're rooting for her to reach her goal -

She's already come so far.

 

We all gained a new abuela

Through @theholmanherd so kind,

And we all shared love and encouragement

To ease @eastbaybride's pre-surgery mind.

 

We understand the frustration

Behind an unexpected cyst -

They put @lindy04aggie on vacation

And @snakefisherbub on break (you're missed!).

 

In a tough place herself, our very dear friend

@ginnyjones82

Is cheering us on to get healthy

And sharing a recipe or two.

 

We're celebrating @sewfie's two happy follies,

A job with IF coverage for @melisconizzle;

And of course the marriage of @sweetshellieh,

Which we hear really sizzles!

 

...IVF...

 

Moving to IVF is a difficult step

That's rarely simple to take;

But we can't wait to finally get there

When we're in that birth control break!

 

@emilee871 is starting that journey,

@daydreamsam hopes to join soon,

But we really feel compassion

For the DH of our friend @bluejoan.

(A sadly ironic case

Of a bilateral varicolectomy

That led to IVF anyway--

What a waste of his misery!)

 

Prayers and hopes always abound

Until those embies get to freeze at last;

@pintobean39's got a passel of three

And @gsancho's got two happy blasts!

 

When our friends are finally PUPO,

We hope then pray some more

For those in this special mama limbo,

Like @jencity9 and @buttmonkey34.

 

...Our Mods…

 

There's no one quite like a mod

For setting 3T's welcoming tone.

Whether you need a friend or a troll patrol,

We know we're never alone.

 

When we need kind words, sound advice,

Or a rescue before it's too late,

Or a warm welcome for newbies into the fold,

We rely on @rumbera28.

 

@nariadreaming kicks snark up a notch

For mild-mannered Trouble TTC;

But this mod inspires with the way she cares

(And she's getting KU with IVF#1, just wait and see!).

 

...For Fun…

 

3T gets down to business -

We're organized and tough -

But we know the value of a drink or two

And a laugh when IF gets rough.

 

@automray is BD-ing her ass off,

"Beautiful eggs!" says @awiley10's RE.

(Though an RE may have caused abandonment issues

For @tlooney17.)

 

I never expected such a literary

Interpretation of an HSG,

Until reading the play-by-play account

By @darcyhermione.

 

We wouldn't forget @mrketchup, of course,

@iputketchuponketchup's "main squeeze."

(As for freakish medical anomalies -

Just wait 'til she opens her knees!)

 

…...

 

I'm sorry if I missed your name,

But I hope this poem will make you merry!

Just a little thank-you for what you all mean to me -

With all my heart,

@BunnyBerry
