I periodically spy on y'all and it doesn't make me sad like I thought it would, I'm just happy for y'all! :)</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: haha!!! fun socks make running better!</p> <p>@Mrs. J: @Running Elley: well I ran a 15k undertrained but it made me feel more like myself to do it! And I have half coming up in 2 weeks.. Running is the thing that makes me feel most like "myself" through all this </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-673001 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 10:10:41 +0000 mlm2934 673001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Y'all are so great! It makes me feel better just to be posting and interacting cause I really adore the HB opinions and input! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-672768 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 09:28:04 +0000 Running Elley 672768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I wanted to add particularly for you that I've missed seeing your posts! Just so you know, even if you need to take breaks here and there people miss your posting and the support will be here when you're ready! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-672761 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 09:27:00 +0000 Running Elley 672761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely felt that way in between my MCs and I had to take a break. I'd lurk sometimes but it eventually got too painful. I took on a bunch of projects (different cooking challenges, running races, home projects) during our months off to make it go by faster. Even after I got PG again I didn't feel completely comfortable diving back into posting until I was almost out of the first tri because I just dreaded joining a month board and having to drop out for a 3rd time due to a MC. Seeing those threads and thinking about where I'd be in my pregnancy just wore on me too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-672727 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 09:20:08 +0000 MrsBrewer 672727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I am in the in between stage to kind of. DH and I aren't TTC yet, we are still waiting a little while longer. But I still find tons of things to comment and post about!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-672717 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 09:17:35 +0000 Mrs. J 672717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've missed you! Let us know about any races you're doing...I have an 8k soon that I am so not ready for. Lots of walking it? Definitely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-672194 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 03:12:41 +0000 SweetMamaM 672194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the same spot as you, wanting a baby but not cleared to try. It's hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-672003 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:17:53 +0000 BSB 672003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Yup, 17 months ago I joined thinking I could get pregnant pretty fast. 17 months long months later, it's so tough talking and seeing baby threads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671996 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:12:43 +0000 BSB 671996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I feel ya! Dealing with infertilty and having back to back BFNs is wearing me down. The only threads I feel like posting on are non-baby related threads. Well, the infertilty threads are great. I feel like I sometimes I don't belong. I love HB but in my desperate times and bitterness from IF, it's just so hard to contribute to baby threads because I don't know when a baby will be in the cards for us. Also, I'm thinking of taking a TTC break to concentrate on my job hunt. I just don't know how much talking I'll feel like being on a break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671922 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:27:00 +0000 spaniellove 671922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hard...I joined thinking I'd be a mama soon but I've been stuck in this space for much longer than I expected. Besides striking up friendships with other IFers, it's helped to join in on conversations about home stuff - things that have nothing to do with babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671916 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:23:05 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 671916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I have missed you! Last weekend I ran my first 5k and during prep I kept thinking about your socks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671907 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:18:26 +0000 Charm54 671907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: ditto What @marionberry said! I love seeing your name around the boards. I know the in between period must totally suck. Hope you are logging lots and lots of KMs on your sneakers. Do you have any races coming up? I want to get back slowly into jogging at least. Ugh, it's been so long since I laced up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671902 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:16:51 +0000 Dapple Grey 671902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can relate a bit to the not "fitting in" feeling. Im not pregnant<br /> yet, I'm not "gold" so Im pretty much left to comment on silly things/non baby or that of a congratulatory nature. I agree with some of the other ladies in maybe focusing on an outside project, goal or anything to keep you busy and positive!<br /> Thinking of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671897 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:13:48 +0000 mlm2934 671897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. The in between in life, regardless of the cause, are just so hard!!!</p> <p>Post I read today that is exactly what I needed to hear... Such a challenge for me!</p> <p><a href="http://www.jonacuff.com/blog/where-you-need-to-live/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jonacuff.com/blog/where-you-need-to-live/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671892 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:11:40 +0000 mlm2934 671892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: @redsmarties: lose weight is my project haha!! I was 10lb too heavy when I got pregnant so I need to lose 15 to get back where I'd like to before next time :) I have been trying hard to focus my thoughts on running (my passion) and doing some home repairs, but honestly neither are doing a good job distracting me</p> <p>@marionberry: I miss the sept board too!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671888 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:10:56 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 671888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm taking a break myself. I feel like HB fed my TTC obsession &amp; I'm just broken. I guess I'm saying this to let you that I understand &amp; your not alone. I was just typing up a post about this &amp; decided it wasn't worth it. Hope everything goes well for you over the next few months so you can get back in the game asap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671878 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:04:25 +0000 marionberry 671878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I miss you on our board! If you ever need someone just to talk to or vent to I'm happy to listen. I would think keeping busy with a project would definitely help pass the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671876 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:03:40 +0000 MrsTiz 671876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took a little break, but then I dove in full force. Did research, read similar situations and focused more on non baby related stuf. I bought Gold during my wait time hahah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671873 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:00:41 +0000 babycanuck 671873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope that regardless of your situation you can stick around giving advice to those of us who haven't ever been pregnant yet. It's always comforting to talk to people when you're scared out of your mind of pregnancy to begin with, let alone anything else.</p> <p>p.s. I love your photo. Best.Socks.Ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671872 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:00:40 +0000 MrsH 671872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To be honest I commented on the silly play space questions, posted in the m/c section or took a break from the boards when feeling sad. We took a break before starting to TTC again so I felt like you are feeling for several months. *big hugs* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671870 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:59:35 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 671870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found this really hard as well, when we were taking a break from TTC. Honestly, I ended up staying away from the boards for the most part, because they do seem to be more focussed on either TTC or pregnancy/parenting. </p> <p>I agree with THOU - is there anything you can pour your energies into in the meantime? For me, I focused on starting running (Couch to 5K), weight loss, and my writing. It provided an outlet while I couldn't really do much else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671868 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:58:47 +0000 MamaMoose 671868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to take a break during our cycle off. This community is amazing and I had so much amazing support but seeing baby baby baby in my face was to hard. I was very lucky and got pregnant on the very next cycle so I came right back. I hope you will stick around because everyone is welcome and valued regardless of their ttc/baby status but I think everyone would understand if you needed to step away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671867 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:57:22 +0000 T.H.O.U. 671867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll hang out with you for a few months. </p> <p>What about looking for projects? Anything you want to do before TTC again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-sure-where-to-put-this#post-671865 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:54:16 +0000 mlm2934 671865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just digging around a little on HB and thinking how sad it makes me that i don't feel like i "fit in" to the community anymore since we can't try again yet after MC and obviously I'm not pregnant right now. I keep trying to come back and comment on non-baby stuff. but blah! i just can't wait to be fertile and trying and pregnant again. </p> <p>ugh... just trying to make the most of the "in between" is so hard and sad. how do ya'll deal with being on HB and balancing that with sadness for not being pregnant yet? </p>
