Hellobee Boards

I wish I did use the TTC support group when I needed it most. I just never knew about it back then. I mostly read the HelloBee blogs then would close out the site. Don't ever give up hope! We were TTC since 2008, lost my first baby and pregnancy due to a miscarriage in 2011, and now have a happy and healthy baby girl who will be 1 very soon. Hang in there. Hugs!

See, personally, that kinda discourages me. Because a lot of those have more than one LO now too. I see people who had #1 and are considering TTC #2 in the same time that I've been TTC #1.

@Snowdrop: It's both of those. People who have moved off TTC threads. And people who I "watched"/followed/whatever during pregnancy #1 that are now discussing #2. That's what's tough for me.

I have to be honest, as one of the BTDT, that the scars of infertility fade, but they never go away. I cannot look at DD and not see what it took to get here, even when TTC seemed so far away. Big hugs to all of you. Like @littlek: said, it just sucks.

Lots of and hugs for you!

@swedishfish: and to you, too. You are extra deserving.

@septca: thank you.

@swedishfish: big hugs to you.

I like to think that one day soon I'll be able to see how all this struggle was worth it, and that while it seemed long, it's only a small part of a much larger plan. I really hope I can get there someday, but it isn't feeling likely.

@LindsayInNY: yeah, it kills me when some of the regulars announce TTC for #2, 3 or 4. I'm happy for them but it just hurts so much to be left behind. Why can they get pregnant so easily and I can't have 1 miracle.

@bluestriped bee: Agreed. I think about hope they're planning for #2 in the same time I've been trying for #1... I actually made a suggestion to Mr. Bee to make a subcategory for TTC #1 and TTC #2+. That way if it gets to be too much, I can hide those threads. But YOU have some big stuff coming up and I have everything in the world crossed for you!!! We will get our time and I cannot wait for that day!!

@LindsayInNY: @bluestriped bee: Big hugs

@Crystal: and to you

@LindsayInNY: @BlueStriped Bee: A TTC#1 thread would be amazing!! Sometimes it is hard for me to see the people TTC #2+ get pregnant within a couple of months. Of course, I'm happy for them, but my experience of TTC #1 for over 12 months makes me slightly bitter!

thinking of you ladies

the struggles of IF will never be forgotten on me and I hope and pray it will happen for all of you soon!

@HolisticMama: Oh, good idea, but I don't want to hid them all yet. I'll definitely create those lists for when I don't want to deal with baby updates. There are days where I don't mind baby updates.
