Seriously, you guys campaigned so hard for your own "child free - not by choice" board. So where are you? What's the point of having this board if you aren't even going to make use of it? Seems like wasted space that could be used for some other topic that will at least get one post every week.
Re: This is ridiculous
Not sure why you created a name to make this post. Just because it's not used as often as you deem necessary doesn't mean it isn't a nice place for women in similar predicaments.
Many of us don't quite know where we belong. It's not as simple to make cut and dry statements that you're totally done investigating whether or not having children is ever going to work.
My DH and I are currently in a trying phase, but we still have discussions about what life child-free will be like if this doesn't work. It's not so simple to digest once you envision life being a certain way and working to get accustomed to something very different. Having both people agree on when it's time to stop treatments is another issue.
I'm pretty sure they don't have a topic limit, so really it shouldn't bother you. It sure looks like people love lurking here.
Yea there has been much wondering where the people who requested the board are.
As for me, well my husband wants to try "just one more time" so I haven't been posting that much here.
I'm sure I'll be back though.
"It's a child, not a cheeto" Thanks mmariluh!
"Ew. I've read all of two posts from you, and you stink like rotting garbage."
Go the fvck away and mind your own business, Or you can grow some balls. Do you think you are cool creating an AE to complain about something that you have no right to complain about. maybe we would post more often if it wasnt a carnival around here...people lurkey looing like its the damn freak show.
we are currently in limbo
As someone who newly needs this board I am very grateful that it is here. Do people post a lot here - no. But I, for one, am very happy that there is a place for me here. Where I can talk to other women who have struggle, in vain, to become a mother to a living, breathing, growing child.
So, while I was not one of the women who campaigned for this board I am glad that others did, so that when I began to need it, it was here.
Excellent point.
ditto
My Dear, I do not, for a moment, believe that you have had four losses and are now done trying... no only because of the fact that you have one post... but because if you were in that situation you would certainly understand the need for this board! With that said, I do understand that you must be terribly bored or you wouldn't be trying to bait a group of strangers who've had a hard road, so I do feel bad for you, but I will not entertain you.
This board, however slow, is incredibly important to the women who need it. Good bye.
Same. I haven't had time to post often but I check in. It's a slow board and that's OK. I'm not sure why there is frustration over it. Does it really matter to others on TB how much we post?
I just started over at TTC after 35 not too long ago. I only had 2 IUI's so sometimes I feel like I don't deserve to be heartbroken as alot of ladies including close friends of mine that have gone thru so many treatments.
I'm glad this board exists. I have found comfort on here realizing I'm not the only one. I want a baby soo bad that DH and I are having problems. If it happened with an IUI he said great but will NOT go into debt with DE IVF. This breaks my heart. I really don't know how to move on and try to live in the present.
