I'm in the mood for a good cry. Not sure if it's all this beta nonsense or just my hormones, but I just need a good movie cry.
My go tos are always Steel Magnolias or Terms of Endearment.
Anyone else lock themselves in a room with a tear-jerker and a box of tissues when you've had enough emotionally? What's your lose-your-sh!t movie of choice?
Re: steel magnolias or terms of endearment
Oh yes. All the time.
My go-to is Message In A Bottle.
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
Both of those do it for me.
Also, Dad with Ted Danson.
However, lately, even commercials make me cry.
I love Steel Magnolias! Never seen Terms of Endearment though.
My go to is I Am Sam.
Steel Magnolias always gets me! Beaches is also another tear jerker. I cried to that one during my last 2ww!
thinking good thoughts for you for Thursday!!
6 IUIs,IVF #1 w/ICSI = BFP!
Betas, 332 & 856 = twins!
Our baby girl is here!
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
Thankful for every day
Steel Magnolias, The Notebook, Marley and Me (although this one is so sad I'll never watch it again!)... I think that's it. Braveheart always makes me cry at the end too.
I'm not a movie crier, but these two get me:?
Marley & Me (I had a yellow lab like Marley who passed away a couple years ago)
also PS I Love You - I actually just watched this last night!
Early loss 10/08

DE cycle #1 Jan/Feb 2011, BFP, ectopic
DE cycle #2 June/July 2011 - BFP
10/28/11 Baby girl lost at 17 weeks due to pre-term labor. We love and miss you.
DE cycle #3 June/July 2012 - BFP, twins, both heartbeats stopped, D&C
2 frosties but don't know what's next
FET Dec 2012: BFP! Praying this one sticks for the long haul!
Confession - I have never seen either of those movies! I hate, hate sad movies because I am upset enough. I would watch Office Space or something really stupid and funny to cheer me up.
Hope you feel better soon!
I love the two you mentioned and also The Notebook and PS I Love You. They get me every time!
Can I leave work and curl up on the couch with these movies??
Thank you IVF for our little miracles!!
Term of Endearment - when she is saying goodbye to her sons in the hospital.
Marley and Me
Beaches
I also cry with the English Patient.
I agree with all the previous posted, especially The Notebook, Marley and Me and Beaches.
One I saw recently that tore me up was Nights in Rodanthe. I cried both times I watched it.
