Hellobee Boards

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.

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*

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

I'm taking a break myself. I feel like HB fed my TTC obsession & I'm just broken. I guess I'm saying this to let you that I understand & your not alone. I was just typing up a post about this & 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!

@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!

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.

@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.

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!

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.
