I checked this thread like an hour ago and was bored out of my mind, but now I'm all...
Me: 28 DH: 29 Married: August 2014 TTC #1 Since March 2015 Diagnosed with PCOS March 2016 SA results normal April 2016 3 rounds clomid + trigger + TI = BFN 3 rounds clomid + trigger + IUI = BFN Uterine polyp removed July 2017 Round 1 IVF January 2018
As someone who has last-word-itis, OP, I'm surprised you didn't respond to the last gif comment from @DarthFuriosa ....
I didn't see it and you may have that diagnosis but not I. I definitely haven't respond or had the last word with several PP on this thread. Girl, please.
Edited because I must say that Darth was the only one to entertain me with snark and laughs for so long so I couldn't leave her hanging. Also glad that you are looking to see if I respond.
I don't understand why this is posted on a TTGP board and not your BMB?
This is where I am at? If you were a regular here prior to getting your BFP, then I think this would be the appropriate place. As it is this is a glorified drive-by with the added obnoxiousness that you are poo-poo-ing thoughtful, sincere advice from regulars with an IF diagnosis... That's poor form to say the least. Your BMB would be the best place as odds are there are PG-After IF ladies present there. I'm all for lurking but if you've never interacted with us it seems a little weird to come gander at us like we are some exotic animal at a zoo. Then to ask us our opinion but not really? Its insulting? Do you see where I'm coming from? I'm the lurker of lurkers, but I don't like the tone you are taking with us here after you essentially asked for our advice.
I'm going to ditto the advice to have this conversation directly with your family member. Odds are its the elephant in the room in anyway. Also, I've been the pregnant lady in a group of close-knit friends. Two of which suffer from IF. One just got pregnant and the other is Child Free Not By Choice. During both of my pregnancies I was very aware of the conversation and only really updated if either asked me directly. My presence alone as my pregnancy progressed was enough of a reminder. You can start by graciously accepting advice from those that are trying to give it to you. That is a great way to begin a journey to awareness.
OP, after reading your post and only your original post (did not have time read responses, sorry if I don't have all the other info that may have been gathered). I just want to say, it hurts to roll my eyes so hard. Go talk to your cousin. Go do adulting. Adulting is your new favorite.

I think you missed the post where I agreed this probably was the wrong place and called it a mis-step. Correction, I did interact on this board (although I did have a different username.. You're more than welcome to verify that). I don't think I poo'od on anyone's advice but if I did I think I already discussed how I wasn't intending to be rude and if I was rude then I'll take ownership for that (check page 3 of 4... I think). Again, I didn't just lurk and post ... I was active before my BFP. Yes, to answer your question, I can totally see where you are coming from and that wasn't my intention. Being that I know the tone and honesty in this thread (from past participation), I thought (past tense) this would be a great place but I totally get how it came across
Yeah, a major elephant in the room. I will be direct as you stated when asked and I'll be more aware. At least she won't have to see me so that should help with the reminder. I'll also talk to her.
This is a jumbled mess but I was writing as I was reading your post.
OP, after reading your post and only your original post (did not have time read responses, sorry if I don't have all the other info that may have been gathered). I just want to say, it hurts to roll my eyes so hard. Go talk to your cousin. Go do adulting. Adulting is your new favorite.
Aww poor tink tink. Not my problem you didn't read the thread. And speaking of adulting ... Don't you have some adulting to do yourself... Like finding a better attitude.
Ladies this is the best use of gifs I have ever seen!! OP you can go now, we were getting bored but now we are having too much fun.
You can dismiss yourself when you're ready. I'm also getting too many laughs from the gifs.
You can laugh all you want but no need to post anymore
Oh, who are you again? I'll keep posting until I'm done. Really and truly ... I don't think you are the dictator of when someone can or cannot post. Bye Felicia.

I am part of this TTC board. You are not.
Oh no. Should I cry now or later? And if it counts.... I was!!!!!!
I came for the ridiculous reply count, and now I've made it to the end, and I just...
And OP, you can try to backtrack all you want, but yeah. A lot of your responses were rude. Enough people read them that way (me included), that even if it wasn't what you intended, clearly you messed it up. And then you just kept being rude, so I gotta say...

I don't recognize your sn at all and I've been around for over a year.
I mean this sincerely: OP, what are you trying to accomplish by sticking around? This post was questionable and it didn't go over well... Why belabor the point? I don't get it. You got an answer - talk to your cousin. Why keep going?
DD born PPROM preemie at 36 weeks on 10/1/17 after over a year TI, then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW, because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!

My old screename was ready2be (kjack is maybe a 2 to 3 week old sn). I joined in September 2015 and if you care so much, you can click on my name and it will bring up prior post. I also stopped participating in November 2015 to move to BMB.
@Kjack85, I was actually trying to apologize in case I missed something and my comment was out of line. I can now see that was NOT the case.
I don't know what tink, tink is but I was busy doing adulting. Namely being responsible for the safety of other human beings. I'm sorry if my attiude of being responsible is not good enough for you. Have you thought of getting a manicure or pedicure? Then you could have some quiet moments of reflection to deal with the fact that so many other people in the world are so wrong and you are just so kind, caring, and right? It must be hard up there on the cross.
Cheers! (read: I, just like you, can employ passive aggresive sarcasm.)

So what exactly was the point of the gif party? To laugh at a OP who made a stupid mistake. Would you rather me call everyone stupid names and leave with a fit or just say it's ok to laugh at myself and enjoy the gifs (most directly focused on my mis-step)? I'm not belaboring anything. I think I stated that I got the answer (the same answer) and I moved on.

I imagine the idea of the gif party would be to lighten the mood. This got pretty heated. There is no reason to call names over the age of 5. You clearly haven't moved on if you are still up here answering.

Ouch. Tink tink is a joke. It's from a comedy series. I see that didn't go over well. I'm glad you were adulting and I guess I was still on the gif party high so I was totally being sarcastic (not personally attacking you or being a b-word) but if everyone says I'm a bad person then clearly I must be a unkind, noncaring, person.
@kjack85 : If you posted with your other username then it would be prudent to post under your original SN. Otherwise folks have no idea who you are and you look like a random. Also, you have been told multiple times that you have responded in a way that is unreasonable and shat on people giving you good advice. The correct response is, "I didn't realize that is how my post came across and I'm sorry. I didn't mean to invalidate great advice that any of you took time to give me."
Not this bizarre troll-like display that is really kind of not at all appropriate or nice. You've gotten very thoughtful and prompt advice. Its really not nice to stir the pot and generally act in a condescending tone towards everyone with the head patting and such. Really, its not becoming at all. I suggest that you thank us and move on to your BMB. The more you post in this thread the more it seems like you are out to hurt people and rub your BFP in people's faces because you didn't get the responses you wanted (though you kind of did?). I don't understand all this passive-aggressive tone and choice of words?
@jack85 are you having a boy and like to ride horses? Do you have a lot of money and like everyone to know?
OP, I get what you're trying to do, and that you're trying to defend yourself, but this isn't going to get any better. I suggest that you step back and lurk a bit and post on other people's posts for awhile before starting your own thread. That's how we do here.

Exactly. No one has time to call names. I respond to everyone and moved on. Tbh, it did lighten the mood. I think we were past the original thread or at least ignoring it. I think the original post is now back to being discussed because some people saw it later and/ or had time later to respond. No, I've moved on but I also think it's rude to not respond to new posters who can't read (due to formatting) the thread. I also was still here to act silly with the gifs

@jack85 are you having a boy and like to ride horses? Do you have a lot of money and like everyone to know?
I didn't even think about changing my SN back so that could have helped . My bad. Maybe the quote boxes are messing up but I did acknowledge to someone (don't remember SN) how I could see how I came across and rude and that wasn't my attention. I also explained to several people that after reading their thoughts about the post (how it was braggy.. Drive by.. Not appropriate) how all of that makes sense. So, I believe that I owned up to it. Also, I think we had moved on and we're just being snarky with the gifs to which I responded to in fun, sarcastic ways. I am not trying to brag about a BFP, I apologize if that's the way I came across to you.
Yeeeahhh I missed everything before it turned into a gif party.
@kjack85 you rubbed your BFP in our faces and you know it. This is not the most appropriate place to be asking this type of question. 1st tri or your BMB would be better.
Also you don't have to keep getting the last word in you know, you can just go post this question in a better area as PP have said. Judging by the number of responses, you really annoyed/hurt quite a few people here and that should tell you something. Please just stop already.

Again, I apologized for waving a BFP although it wasn't my intention. I'm not that cold hearted. I now know where I should post and since this post can't be deleted... It'll stay up for future reference of what not to do.
I'm not getting the last word. I'm responding to posters and I think the posters who were done talking to me/ responding so if know the conversation was over.
