Ever wonder if you'll be the oldest living TTCALmember?

hbkises · November 2010

I'm getting there...wonder if I'll get a trophy or anything or maybe a plaque!!

So happy for everyone that's gotten to move on but this board is getting cleared out!

@ 31 you have a WAYS to go, yet. What sucks for me was that my first BFP was in 2007 and STILL no child.

hbkises · November 2010

I know. I didn't mean age I mean more service time paid to TTCAL. I feel like some of us have been here FOREVER. I'm just cranky today and venting.

RunSchwartzRun · November 2010

I have actually wondered who is the oldest in terms of who has been here the longest (particularly as I start to feel "old" myself and start feeling even worse for those who have been here longer.) I never wanted to ask though because that is a contest that no one wants to win. Ever.

I hope you escape soon, I really do.

babes12 · November 2010

yes. and this board is definitely clearing out. i'm happy for everyone but sad for myself who feels left behind. it's got to be our turn one day, right?

we've been trying for our 2nd child since aug. 08. Of course i did go through 32wks of pregnancy and had a child but he's not here with us. sucks so bad. i feel like that's all i've been thinking about for over 2yrs now is TTC and having a baby.

I totally understand the feeling.

I'm pretty sure (in fact I'm positive) that I have been here the longest. I was here the day the board started. Nothing that I'm proud of.

Clocking in at 42, I would say I am also the oldest.

Wow, these are both very sad facts.

I think Kristysredbarn was here too.

Im hoping we can all bust free of this place really soon!

Blessed1010 · November 2010

Um, I'm TTCAL's oldest member! I've been here since 2008 and rather than gaining some solace from this board, it really manages to piss me off. Everyone is gone!!!! They have all gone on to have not only 1 baby, but 2! Praise the Lord for their success, but when will I stop feeling so defective?

EDIT: I am going through IVF treatments. Hence, the emotional answer.

Hugs to you and Luna. I hope that you both get your BFPs soon.

I'm not the oldest but does TTC since 2003 and still no living children count?

((HUGS)) to everyone on this board.

butterfly843 · November 2010

It's only been a year since my loss, and I know there are ladies who are still trying much longer since their losses, but I feel like I will be here forever. We started trying in 2003, finally got pregnant last year with ivf#2 and lost our twins, ivf #3 resulted in another loss. I've gotten so depressed that sometimes I can't picture dh and I with kids and think that it will never happen for us.

rjl07 · November 2010

I was thinking the other day that I might be the last one left here one of these days. I look at pgal and don't even recognize most of the names now - everyone is heading over to pal now. I'll be 40 in June so I'm definitely one of the oldest too.

It isn't something that should be really recognized- b/c no matter how you look at it, being here sucks. But I think Luna has been on this board since its inception. It breaks my heart that she is still here. I really want her to have a child of her own.

This.

It breaks my heart that you are still here Luna. I want you to have your family so badly! XOXOX

Hi Blessed! You are not the oldest member- I think we joined at about the same time. I started posting in Feb of 2008, but became more active in Nov. of 2008. Wink And Luna has been here since the board began. I agree, I also feel defective and want us all to move on! This sucks. It just sucks.

Why is it suddenly a competition to be the oldest on here. I mean really the fact that we are all here and it has taken years for most of us and all that we have to show for it is a bunch of losses, is heartbreaking.

I get sick and tired of this competition thing. We have alll had shitty experiences, it has taken years for us, lets leave it at that. IMO it is really a sign of shame that we have been here so f-ing long.

I saw a post on the regular TTCAL board the other day and the poster was actually competing to have a CP, like having another loss is a badge of experience or something. It sucks and I will NEVER EVER understand why people compete to have things like that. IMO, it is disgusting.

agreed. Hugs to all. no one should have to be here. period.

Hi, Suntoto!

I was actually being facetious because it feels like I've been here a lifetime. As a matter of fact, I don't think that the original poster was truly looking for the oldest member. I truly believe that she was simply stating that she's been here too long and I was simply stating that she was not alone.

I was not trying to take anyone's position. There is no position to be taken, no award to be given. A year in TTCAL is one year too much.

I don't think anyone should have a position. It sucks that we are here, and it sucks even more that some of us are still here after years of trying after our loss(es). I don't want us to be here anymore.

Yeah, since when did this become a fvcking competition? That's bullsh!t. This whole thing sucks. When did crap like this become a badge of honour?!

Blessed1010 · November 2010

Laura, I agree with you. I mentioned the word position because I got the impression that you thought I was actually saying I was TTCAL's oldest member. I guess I got this impression because you went on to mention Luna and yourself, and backed it up with dates.

I read the responses before posting, I knew and I know that I haven't been here the longest. I was being sarcastic. I was being sarcastic because I truly never thought the poster was actually asking who was the longest TTCAL member. From the beginning, I thought she was saying "I've been here too long" and I was simply saying "I'm with you".

Please know, that I'm responding simply because I don't want there to be any misunderstandings.
