Lurker's 2 cents

I am sad to see this board has left the bump for a private fb group.  I feel that the ladies here have been those that I have followed for the years that I've been on the bump.  However, I never have posted much on IF, because I don't have time to post on multiple boards (choose to post almost entirely on TTC after 35, because it's a smaller board).  Just wanted to let anyone that's around know that I miss seeing posts on this board :-(  GL to all of you, and please know that others are thinking of all of you.  And.....when you decided to go to fb, it was the consensus that others were gawking. Not true at all for me, I lurk because I care about your journeys and I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not the only one.

Re: Lurker's 2 cents

  • I know a few still lurk but it has got mighty quiet around here.

    Multiple ectopics, 2 failed IVF's
    IVF #1: Did not get to ET, embies all failed PGD (major chromosomal defects)
    IVF #2: We have 2 chromosomally perfect embies as a result of PGD (Boy/Girl) 1 failed the thaw (Girl) Transferred 1, yet ended as a c/p
    Thought it was the end of our TTC Journey 6/20/2012
    SHOCK BFP 9/28/2012: IT'S A BOY! and everything is normal !!!!!!

  • Just another note from me -- also sad to have seen everyone disappear completely.  I like to be able to cheer everyone on in their journeys.  I feel like everyone I "know" on from the past couple of years is gone overnight.  Hope you will all still keep posting here, because I'm still thinking of all of you.

    Was worried that I'd somehow get flamed for posting here, but I miss seeing all of you here.

  • I used to be a regular here but life kind of got in the way. Whenever we've gone on treatment breaks I've ended up being a sporadic poster because it's just easier to not get caught up in not cycling, if that makes sense. Then whenever I get a sec to pop in over here I get soooooo busy at work and it leaves a lot less time for nesting. I end up on the Proboards threads more often. A lot of the old boards here have gone the way of fb groups too. I don't think that I am in any of them anymore though Sad

    If anyone is reading this, I wish you all the best! 

    DX PCOS w/IR 01/08.

  • Yes, life gets in the way.  I just started a new job and can't post during the day anymore and the night is busier with stuff at home since I'm now working during the day.  Also, I've been sad because we are in limbo mode and I want a baby more than anything and not sure when we will get to try again... So it's easier to stay away sometimes.  

    I don't really like the format of Proboards.  I'm in some FB groups and I think they are easier to check than here simply because I'm on FB anyway for other reasons... If that makes sense.  But since I'm working now, I'm not on there as much either. 

    Hugs and best wishes to all.

    ***lurker***

    This! I was considering intro-ing here when the board went quiet. I feel like there is so much turnover on the IF board that I barely recognize most of the people posting and I haven't really tried to start many "relationships" since the majority move right over to PAIF. I'm in a funky place as far as TTC goes right now, so I'm not sure where I really belong.

    Agreed! I check in regularly to see how the TTC after 35'ers are doing. I was on that board for over a year and then a couple of my peeps moved here. I am always rooting for everyone on the board, but I kept a special eye on their journeys. I hope you ladies are well.
