GP board at large...

in Trying to Get Pregnant

Doesn't matter, because, clearly, I won't be back after this, but a few things.

Other posters were correct (obviously). Just apologizing would've been a better choice than anything.

So to state plainly: Saying "suck it," "b!tch-slapped," and particularly the part about my fertility vs. anyone else's is COMPLETELY out of character for me. Particularly the fertility part, as I would never wish IF on anyone. Very rude, and I openly apologize. I got defensive because I rarely offend one individual, much less an entire community, so I'm sorry on all counts.

Additionally, I was indeed headed over here, but with mistaken impressions. I thought maybe I'd find some moms who are TTC beyond #1. DUH - everyone knows I should've asked that particular question on a different board. I certainly didn't mean for it to be offensive, I was just asking a question. Your opinion of said question, as well as asker, are yours, and you're welcome to it.

Lastly, I deleted because I just didn't want to see it anymore. I've been on here for 8 years, and that's the first time I've ever done so. No, I didn't think about anyone reposting it, or flaming me like crazy for doing that, because I just didn't want to look at how many responses I got telling me what a douche, etc. I am. Yes, I do have thin skin. Have all my life, which is why I got up out of bed to apologize to random strangers. I don't like to upset people.

Anyone who has read this far, thanks. Good luck to everyone TTC.

    I wasn't one of the previous posters, but I do want to give you props for the apology.

    I read ur post and didn't reply due to the fact that I found ur question stupiid! I have a child and couldn't understand why you would ask such a question. But I decided to sit back and watch the ladies laugh at ur post, we all have posted stupiid shiit on here and have asked ignorant questions, but to say this:  "suck it," "b!tch-slapped," and particularly the part about my fertility vs. anyone else's is COMPLETELY out of character for me. Particularly the fertility part, as I would never wish IF on anyone

    Really talking about peoples fertility! That was a low blow and always is on this or any board! I feel that you are a grown asss woman and you should've conducted yourself as one. GL with ur future posts!

    Honestly? Because I asked the Bump to deactivate my account. It's so mean on so many boards, and I just can't stand that. I don't like when people are so snarky, and it's so celebrated here. And I'm so internet paranoid that I (truthfully) didn't know if my pics and such would be gone after my profile was deleted. Ridiculous, I'm sure, but that's just me. I'm not stupid, just...paranoid. So that's why. I hated my Nest/Knot/Bump name anyway. :)

    Mari...don't quite understand your new issue with me, as I just apologized for that very clearly (which you partially quoted...?). And when I said it, it wasn't meant as a dig, which I know it sounded like, hence the apology. I said it with this thought - what is she doing asking about this when she already has two kids? That's what I meant when I said I threw my fertility in their faces. But when I re-read it I could tell it sounded like this - I have kids and you don't, so you're pissed. I know, sounds a lot alike. I'm tired and not explaining it well. But anyway, I was talking about my personal fertility, but realized how it came across. There.

    Oh hun I'm sorry if you think I have an issue with you, that would mean that I care and I really don't. I do commend you for coming back here to apologize/ explain your self. I was just letting you know how bad it all looked, because you came back. I am on here and interact with these ladies very often and I would never dream of saying half the stuff you did! I see it happen very often newbies come on here and insult people and wish them bad. If you would have taken the time to lurk you might have noticed what happened right before you posted on here! No one says you should go, but do lurk and learn. Like we all said we all have made mistakes.

    I will give you credit for having balls and apologizing. Attacking fertility is justva horrible low blow on any board. You have no idea how many months or even years these women have Been ttc. Many women have gone through horrible losses and would give anything to have their child back regardless of the sex. Sometimes just think before you speak. This however is totally not account delete worthy, I think that is overkill.

    Your apology is very mature. Everyone puts their foot in their mouths from time to time and says dumb things (I know I do!) This is not anything you can't recover from. Don't leave the bump/gp for a silly reason. Best of luck on #3!
