Seriously, I told myself I would not look on the "July 2012 Moms" board anymore for obvious reason. That one stings every time (duh).
I used to look at the PGAL board to give myself something to look forward to, but that lost its effect pretty quick.
Now I cant sleep and I was bored and looking at the other boards and some people need a high five in the face. Maybe I am just bitter that my TTC journey has not been the land of rainbows and unicorns that they are currently living in.
Sidenote, AF can go die. I waited anxiously to get my first AF post m/c (4 months.... really??). At this point it has been like a crime scene in my vagina for 9 days (TMI??? Probably).
Sorry this was basically just a random waste of your time!!! I will stop complaining now and try to go back to being a happy person.
Re: I will not lurk on other boards...
I was on the July 2012 boards too, and lurked a couple of times, but both times ended in tears. I totally know how you feel.
One day AF will stay away and we'll be able to bring home our rainbow babies. Until then, it is absolutely ok to vent and scream and cry.

I hear you. I haven't gone on the June board in a few weeks, but last time I did, I unwittingly opened the hump day bump day thread. Ouch. For the most part though, I find I have no connection there anymore - their discussions are so far beyond what ie experienced now, i can't even relate slightly. I browse PgAL a lot - now I know a lot of girls there. That hurts more honestly, but it's a bittersweet type of pain.
My recommendation - when you're bored, lurk on a nest board - seeig girls b!tch about how the dog ate their shoe or debate a wall color hurts a lot less.

I'm sorry. I forced myself to stop lurking on my BMBs too...but every once in a while I fall victim to curiosity. Just don't do it!!
And I'm sorry AF is so rough for you...hope it gets easier soon!
I still lurk on my BMB.
I can't stop. I'm bitter, too.
I'm sorry AF is a rough one, hopefully your body is just adjusting itself and you'll be back to normal on the next cycle!

This is what I do! I love ML, b/c my IRL friend and I go on and then talk crap about all the girls. It's a great stress reliever!

Fellow July Mom ... And yes, stay away. I've made the mistake of doing the same thing, and it only ever gets me down.
Sorry about AF ... Hope today is better. (I'm going to have to try the Nest trick! Ha.)
We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.
“So can you understand? Why I want a daughter while I’m still young? I wanna hold her hand and show her some beauty before all this damage is done. But if it’s too much to ask, it’s too much to ask … Then send me a son.” – Arcade Fire
Like pp said, the nest has some good boards. I like the recipes section, which is not doing a thing for my diet
If I were to go on the board I'd be tempted to post dark warnings....
"YES spotting could be something horrible....go to the doctor!!!"
or
"Never say never... I lost my first child in the third trimester..."
