TTC After a Loss

I guess I'm not as welcome here as I thought.

I've been supporting others where I can, trying to be helpful. I shared my experience this morning, to let people know that even if you feel ready to TTC, you might not be, and to take your time.

 

And I get told that my 20th most recent post is from April, so that makes me unworthy or something. If you haven't noticed, I only have 40 something posts total. I don't have the time to read and post on everyone's thread, like some other people. I'm really sorry if I upset anyone.

Re: I guess I'm not as welcome here as I thought.

  • Oh quit crying.  I was trying to reply to your post & you DD'd.   Not cool. 

    No one was mean to you.  They gave you a side eye, because you came on here & posted about how upset you were to have a BFP, to the women that would give almost anything to be in your position (including myself... 7 cycles of ttcal here).  All anyone said was that maybe you should have posted your OP on PGAL where they would understand your feelings. 

    Also, if you thought that was mean... just wait for the Tri Boards.  Those ladies can be vicious!

    Yes Seriously. DDing and then posting this crap is even more insulting than your original post.

  • I get that you may be scared right now, but the way you worded your OP was very insensitive and potentially hurtful to many of the women on this board.

    No one is expected to read every single post, every single day.  It is expected that you give support, then get support.  And FFS think before you type.

    I'm sure PGAL will welcome you with open arms.  Good luck.

    I doubt very seriously that you're sorry you may have hurt anyone's feelings here on TTCAL...if you were so worried about hurting feelings you'd have realized that your AWing your BFP to a group of women who do not know you would be insensitive and you'd have high tailed it over to Pgal without posting here.  Now you come back with a whiny "noone likes me" post?  How can anyone "welcome" you when they don't know you? 

    Collect yourself, put on your BGP, and head on over to Pgal there is plenty of support for you over there.

    Hmm  I'm a bit confused.  I wouldn't be on TTCAL if I wasn't sure I was ready to TTCAL.   I do think PgAL is best for you... H&H 9 months and try to be optimistic!  I would give just about anything to be in your shoes.

  • So what exactly did you want us to do? Be all excited for you? Offer hugs and our shoulder because you aren't excited about having the BFP we all would move mountains to get?

  • After phishing a few days ago about if you could possible be pg, and then coming on today to post a bfp, when you haven't given support and then posting this thread to complain not sure why you think we would jump up and down excited for you. No one says you have to comment on every post. If you weren't ready to ttc, then you should have been using protection.

  • I read your previous post and it made me really upset. Here I am on my 14th cycle ttcal cd1 and am heartbroken that once again I am not pregnant. I know that I do not post that often now, due to work and school but I have been on this board awhile and for someone to come here and post their BFP when they have not supported many people is ridiculous to me. Please don't make another post of how bad we treated you and poor poor pitiful you. Get over yourself honey!

    OP... GTFO.. I would love to in your shoes right now, that's all I can say

    Yeah, this morning, I'm going to go with THIS!

    Reading posts to get support DOES NOT mean you've been supportive. 

    Ditto that ^^ ... GTFO OP, not in the mood today

  • I was unable to read your OP due to you DDing. However, it seems that maybe you weren't ready for your own bfp when you got it. It also seems that you are deflecting your feelings to others. There are many ladies on here who WISH they could be in your shoes. I am one of them. I am TTA for personal reasons until DH is ready. But thats besides the point. I hope after your little stunt that you pulled here you are welcomed on PgAL. If not, remember that you DD'd and then this "follow up".
    I have short term memory loss. Do not take it personally if I do not remember you right away.
