Success after IF

Do you ever wonder about nesties you used to be friends with?

When we first started TTC, I spent most of my time on BOTB.  There were a couple of girls who started TTC around the same time as me.  I know that a couple of them had babies, but I don't know about some of them.

And then there are girls who used to be on here or TTTC quite a bit, but who aren't anymore.  I wonder what happened to them too.

Re: Do you ever wonder about nesties you used to be friends with?

  • Yes I wonder about some people a lot. Thankfully many of my t-ttc friends are here now or if not regulars here then friends via FB. However some of them haven't made it over yet and that just kills me. I still have a lot of guilt about making it here when others tried for a lot longer and have not.

  • i wonder about this too.  i think some people just move on, in the sense that they got the support that they needed and are able to move on (or for some it's too painful to be around those that have gotten pregnant while they have not been able).  it could also be work/family related and they just don't have time.  there are so many scenarios.  it would be nice though if some that have gone checked in once in a while.  i still would like to know what is going on in their lives.

    on that note, i wonder for myself how long i will be on the boards.  is this a lifelong thing?  a few years? once i'm done TTC?  who knows.

  • I wonder about people too....skigirl is one that I have thought about often...we both did our first IVF at the same time and it failed for both of us....I wonder how she is doing.  I know she posted once that her second IVF worked and she posted over here, but nothing since.

  • Yes! I was part of the original crew on TTTC and often think about everyone else, even though I'm not on every single day like when I was TTTC!

    I've seen gymrat on preemies once in a while.

    janimal- she is on the baby month boards quite often, or at least 6-12 a couple months back

     

    Last I saw from Janimal (on the 6-12 board) was that she was being stalked by an ex-boyfriend and was going to take a break and/or possibly change her screen name.  I don't know what happened after that, though.

     

  • I miss Janimal and WVAGirl.  I also wish like hell that Rose (Lovemymonkey) was here.  I do see Gymrat on my other board.

    I like that a lot of the girls from when I was TTTC are still here on the SAIF board.  I have to say that I lurk a lot but almost never post.  I don't know why that is except there is always some catastrophe or another (hair pulling, whining, climbing on the furniture...) going on.

  • Gymrat is on my private mulitples board so I see/chat her daily. She did just lose her dad a couple months ago so she's been busy with all that. But other than that, the babes are doing fabulous!  Loree... you posted! I was going to say we still 'chat' on FB so I knew you were alive and well with those pretty little ladies!

    Loree made my boys 1st birthday outfits!

    There are quite a few of the oldtimers still on the private multiple board now so I still get to chat them there. Hell.. I am not here very much either so I shouldn't talk!  I was wondering about wvagirl... and jpw2006.. I believe was her screen name.. Jill is her first name.

  • I know it...  I started posting back in the BOTB days and then moved over to TTTC when it started.  I do see many people over here on SAIF, but not all...   :(
    Nothing to see here....

    My friend stalks her blog.  I knew she was pregnant with twins, but that was the last I heard.

  • wow...I remember all the names mentioned above and also wish they would pop in to say hello.....its so sweet to see how many of us finally made it over here but I do feel bad about those still ttc .....an old school reunion sound great to me!!!!

    JPW2006 just had her twin boys in July.....she and I email frequently (we went to the same clinic), but she has been uber busy since they came, and I haven't talked to her as much. Luke and Harry are doing great and Jill is over the moon with them! :)

  • I do wonder, and the names have been mentioned already... janimal, loree (nice to see you!), gymrat...  there was also a woman whom i first met on here and now i follow her blog but i haven't seen her on here in a couple of years.  i can't even remember her screen name, but her blog name is a somewhat ordinary life.  she was a fellow azoo girl who used DS to conceive.  anyone else remember her?

    Not that anyone has said this, but I don't feel resentment when people leave b/c I just assume that life circumstances have taken them away.  Or perhaps it was a choice.  I sometimes think of leaving simply b/c I feel I spend too much time on here that I should be devoting to "real life."  It does surprise me to learn that some spend their time on other boards, but only b/c this is my favorite board and it's so inclusive and kind, that I can't imagine another board being more appealing!  :)

    LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).
    Life is beautiful!

    Remember her.  She was on bedrest for quite a while.  She is one of my FB friends.  Her daughter is beautiful and she seems busy, busy, busy (mom that is) Every once in a while she will pop on here

  • I know wvagirl on FB and she is taking a break from the boards right now.  She is trying to figure out baby stuff and needed some space.
  • Come visit us more on IF, everyone! Some of us who have been stuck over there for ages miss you all and we lurk here way more than you might actually realize! :)
