AW today: Do ya'll wanna help me...

CLAYLIOVER · March 2010

decide how to tell DH?

I have no idea.

Scout05 · March 2010

Sweetie, you know I love you so much, and I am so happy for you.

Please, please, please don't be hurt. Please don't be hurt.

This is EXACTLY the kind of post we were trying to get away from. I am so happy to have your BFP announcement, but please don't ask this here. Pregnancy questions need to be on PGAL.

If you are mad at me, I am so sorry. But that is how I honestly feel.

kathi512 · March 2010

Save the test & leave it on the table with a ribbon? I have no idea. I'd be so excited I'd just blurt it out when he came home.

CLAYLIOVER · March 2010

wow. how quickly things turn. so sorry.

Scout05 · March 2010

CLAYLIOVER:
wow. how quickly things turn. so sorry.

I want to see you, talk to you. All of that. But there is participating on the board and posting about your pregnancy specifically. We all agreed that was hard, that was a major part about wanting the new board.

And I know you agreed, back then. So I guess things DO turn quickly.

Im not exactly mad. I am hurt though. And here is the reason. I have been trying to have a baby for 3 years. 3 years. Im not even totally sure I have + test yet. Im just wondering how people in my situation would do it/ handle it. Ya'll know me and I know you. I'm sorry I offended the new board.

AppleRidge · March 2010

It's not that we aren't incredibly excited for you. It's just that this board was supposed to be for the bitter FML stuff - a place to come when you needed to escape and sulk. I think everyone would have loved to participate in this post were it on regular TTCAL.

Clayli, we are here for you to vent and talk about your fears. But asking us how to tell your husband you are pregnant, when we JUST got a board for people having a hard time, is a different thing.

Hanging out until you feel comfortable on PGAL is one thing; you just got your BFP, I understand that. Stay here. We love you.

But this was pointed and specific. That's how I feel.

I am truly sorry you are hurt.

CLAYLIOVER · March 2010

Okay then. I guess I just pissed everyone off. Im so sorry. Maybe I dont belong here at all. I really am sorry if I hurt anyone.

I understand where the new board is coming from, but I also completely understand where you are coming from. I was extremely hurt by comments on TTCAL after my BFP. Even though people are excited to see oldies graduate, it is still hard.

I think I would have waited a day before jumping down someones throat and not the next post after a BFP, but oh well, I guess I don't really belong here either.

heathergirl67 · March 2010

I tend to agree. There's no question that we all love you and are SO excited for your *possible Wink

* pregnancy. It does seem like regular TTCAL would be the better place for ongoing discussions about it. That way those on here who are feeling especially raw can avoid it and all of the regular TTCALers can join in on the fun. Win win!

Scout05 · March 2010

You know what? Dana, I love you to effing pieces. No, you don't really "belong" here. You are pregnant.

Does that mean stay away, never come back? No, it sure as sh!t doesn't. Does it mean, hey, you have - and we are so happy!- gotten your BFP and maybe you could understand, having been here in this place yourself - that the people still struggling need their place to come together.

I am hurt that you don't get that. It offends me that someone I thought was my friend doesn't care that I am hurting and need this refuge. So I guess it's injured feelings all around.

I thought you ladies, of all people, would understand these feelings. You had them yourselves not very long ago.

To be fair, this is a brand new board and the exact rules have not been established yet. If you, as a board, want this to be the board "rules" have Nest Annie change the top green box to this so we all know.

I honestly understand both sides of this debate. I have been in both shoes (bitter and now KU but not feeling like I belong anywhere).

In all honesty I REALLY think this is the type of thing that is going to really divide TTCAL. It hurts me to say that but I think it is very true...

CLAYLIOVER · March 2010

OMG i am your friend. AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. The only thing that makes me sad is how quick you were to jump on me. Im still fuccking bitter I have ttcal for 3 years with losses.

Allison, I think there has been a big misunderstanding. I think this board is a wonderful idea. I am happy that there is a place for everyone to go. I never meant to upset anyone. I was just telling Clayli that I understand where she is coming from, but I do also understand the board.

Maybe it is because I am in a different situation that I don't see why she couldn't ask this question here among people that know her the best. I understand not wanting PG updates and I don't agree with posting those here, but I thought a question like "how do I tell DH" would be ok. I misunderstood.

Please don't be hurt. I didn't mean to upset you.

PeetiePie · March 2010

I'm going to opt to just answer the OP question. If it were me, I would just tell him. My DH is not into that cutesy stuff.

You raise a good point. We're thinking of this board as it was originally conceived and requested - which was basically a "bitter and TTCAL" concept. But no, there is no written rule and the title doesn't exactly evoke bitterness.

Texas77again · March 2010

maybe the description could say,

"come here to get out some bitterness with other bitter betty's. no talk of pg unless you are bashing a FH."

LOL, too much???

Thats my point. I mean damn...I didnt piss on a stick and all my bittereness disappeared. I am still bitter. AND IM NOT EVEN TOTALLY SURE IM PREGNANT!

And everybody, as you know, is infinitely grateful.

Actually, per the description, I'm not even supposed to be here for 2 more weeks. I just like to mediate misunderstandings and disputes. It's the lawyer in me. So I'm leaving now.

Ditto. I thought everything was smoothed out.

Someone come and get me out when everyone's happy again. Well, not HAPPY, but as happy as this board can get.
