Babies on the Brain
I was torn about posting this tonight.
On one hand, I'm sitting here just bursting to tell the most wonderful group of women (that's you) that I got a BFP about an hour ago.
On the other hand I don't want to be insensitive. My heart breaks for all the losses this year.
So, while I'm excited and wanting to share, please know that this is my attempt at graciously mentioning it, not shoving it in anyone's face.
I've read this over twice to try to avoid flame worthiness, but if I f'ed it up I'm really sorry.
And a ginormous thank you to everyone I've learned from. Which is just about every one of you.

Re: I was torn about posting this tonight.
We have to take the good with the bad sometimes. These women are incredibly strong & awesome. I know it stings for them when people come out with BFPs after they've had a loss or have difficulties getting pregnant.
I posted something similar a couple of days ago. We started TTC #2 last cycle. We already have a healthy little boy, and he was a total surprise & not at all planned. This was after several miscarriages, a diagnosis of PCOS, and being told I would never get pregnant without assistance.
I am afraid I won't have problems this time around either (does that make sense?), and get pregnant fairly quickly. I'm also afraid that my previous diagnosis may be truthful, too, and I am afraid of the suspense & letdowns that occur with IF issues. These girls understand, though. They are great!

SAIF/PAIF Welcome
Lots of love and luck to my PAIF/3T/IF Veteran ladies, especially my dear friend Zookie. Congrats to Papps, Teach84 and Starbuck on their little ones.
Congrats!
BTW: We are very good at celebrating life and babies while mourning for those lost as well. This is the nature of life and humans, so you shouldn't feel you have to apologize for being successful.
Appreciate every minute of your pregnancy and future baby.
