I feel alone

abvernon · March 2011

I just do not know where I "belong" on these boards. I go back and forth btwn IF and TTTC. ( as for the 6+ IF board, I am not there...)

We are on a break (by choice) and I feel that the more we take breaks, the more I will be out of touch with the boards.

Sigh...having a lonely day today.

(((HUGS)))

we've had lots of breaks during our 4 year journey, breaks can suck but we're always here for support no matter what

Thanks so much. I am just having one of those days. I hope to offer more support to the ladies on these boards while we are on our break.

However, acupuncture is going well!

Why can't you be on the 6 month + board, you have been on here for awhile I thought. Sorry, you're down... I feel like I'm always on a break due to money issues so I know how crappy it is. Hang in there hun!

Ditto worms.

Lots of hugs.

I'm sorry you are having a lonely day. Since we are waiting on test results (for me), I sometimes feel out of place as well. We are trying on our own, but I have very little hope since 3 different doctors have told us that it will likely not happen. With that I tend to post more on IF, but also post and keep up with TTTC.

Hope your day gets better!

Hey you, sorry you're feeling in the dumps. Sad

And ditto worms that we're here for you. I jump between IF and 3T mostly, and pop in on IF6+ to lend my support where I think it's appropriate.

I'm sorry you're feeling lonely. We're here for you on IF and 3TC! (((hugs)))

(HUGS) I understand how you feel, we just have our 4th IUI and we are 2WW but I know in my heart its a BFN. My DH and I have been thinking about taking a break, I need a break... the emotional roller coaster is taking its toll.

Hang in there, and I promise you have brighter and better days ahead of you !

(((HUGS))) I am sorry you are going through a difficult time and I know breaks can be lonely, but we are always here for you!

I spent most of the last year on "break" and eventually I left the bump because I felt so out of place. I wandered over to the nest and focused on deco/reno'ing our house to help pass the time. I just couldn't keep focusing on babies and infertility when we had such a minimal chance of actually conceiving naturally. It turned out to be a good thing for me even if I really did not want to be on break. It let me come back to our IVF cycle feeling refreshed and ready to succeed- where before I'd been feeling kinda beaten down by infertility. Yes I've had to re-integrate into the IF boards but I'd rather do that than keep feeling so beaten down by things I can't control.

I hope you find a place that makes you feel not so alone.

I completely understand how you feel but agree with PPs that breaks can be good for you. I also think it is up to you about whether to take a break from the boards. I'm sure everyone would be happy to have your insight and support while you're on your break, but that everyone would welcome you back with open arms after the break if you want to step away from the boards for a bit. As to TTTC, IF, and IF 6+, I "know" the differences, but I still don't completely understand myself since the topics overlap so often! Huh?

((hugs)) I found myself posting less when I took a break, too. You know you're more than welcome here in my book.

matt'sbride · March 2011

(((Hugs))) I hate days like that. We're here for you no matter what you're going through. Glad to hear acupuncture is going well!

abvernon · March 2011

Thanks ladies. I appreciate it.

I think alot of things like this goes through waves (for me). I hate it but it is part of life! I will come on and post when I can.

PurpleIris30 · March 2011

I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone. We're trying to save to attempt to do an ivf cycle, and sometimes the wait seems so overwhelming. Although I haven't been posting long, I've been lurking for a long time trying to work up the nerve to post, so I can commiserate with not knowing where you belong when the infertility board is so dead and it seems like most people aren't doing ivf.

naybird · March 2011

So sorry you are feeling that way. Just becasue you are on a break doesn't mean you don't belong. But I do understand how you can feel that way. I just wanted to say you aren't alone.. and give you a big hug... Take care
