TTC After a Loss

psychic reading?

Has anyone ever done something like this? I got an online coupon through livingsocial.com for a psychic reading, typically $50, for only $20. I'm so tempted to do it, but A.) it makes me feel a little crazy B.) I don't know if I'd want to tell DH, for fear that he would think I'm crazy.

Am I crazy?!

Re: psychic reading?

  • I'm thinking about going to one. My FIs stepmom has a friend who is one, and who really helped her when her baby died. I'm not decided yet though.

  • I would go even if DH doesn't believe in it. I've never been to one in real life but would love to go to see what they said!

  • I've had a few readings done. One place where my friend goes, I've only had a chance to go once but it was an excellent reading, well my friend has gone for years and always gets accurate readings. The women who do them give good information with accuracy, it's so amazing. I have always found comfort in readings and find them me focus my thoughts, desires, and energy. You can also ask not to hear anything bad with most people. 

     

  • I wouldn't do it b/c personally I don't believe in "psychics" for the most part.  Especially those who are capitalizing on their "abilities".  I've seen groups have palm readings for bachelorette parties, which I would probably join in, but only for fun.  I wouldn't put any faith in what a reading "revealed".
  • How weird! I was just thinking about possibly getting a psychic reading as I was on my way to work today... I feel silly even contemplating it.... since I really dont believe in it... but I am so frustrated with all this ttcal stuff that I was thinking maybe I should give it a try- but not put too much stock in teh reading....

  • I've had three readings, and they were all card readings. 

    Two of them were eerily accurate (right down to the diagnosis I later received from the RE), and one of them was about 50/50.

    I don't generally put a whole lot of stock into what they say, but I still enjoy getting a reading occasionally (the psychic fair in town is usually happening on or around my birthday, and that's when I go).

  • I have a friend that reads cards and she has read mine before - usually after several bottles..er glasses... of wine.  It's pretty fun!  I have thought about doing it now, but honestly - I'm not sure if I want to know the answers to the real questions I would want answered (baby/pg related stuff). 

    I think it could be fun though.  Personally, I would only ask questions about work/family - stuff that has nothing to do with my reproductive plans.

  • Thanks, ladies, for all your input. As with everything in my life right now, I'm so indecisive about this. Car seat, I think you said it best. If I like what I hear, I might cling too strongly to that notion and perhaps cause myself further heartbreak, or push myself longer than I might truly be willing. But if I don't like what I hear, it could crush me or cause me to give up too soon. But then again, I'm so curious. And it could be fun. my new "fun" has seemed to be torturing myself ie; stalking my old BMBs, FB, etc. But I'm always glad to get the perspective of women who have been in my shoes. I appreciate it.

  • I personally don't believe in psychics, but just for S&Gs, let's say that there are actually some real psychics out there.  Most of the people claiming to be psychics would still be quacks.  Even assuming psychics existed, chances are you're just gonna fork over 20 or 30 or 50 (!!!) bucks for somebody to do some psychological trickery on you.

    I personally think professional psychics prey on the unfortunate, the grieving, etc..  JMHO
