A former co...I just want to share a story with you. A former coworker of mine and his wife were trying to conceive for 3 years (maybe more). I am positive they were at least on Clomid, if not more. They just announced they are expecting TRIPLETS!! Can you imagine that? They are about 12 weeks along, and obviously the risk is very high, but after 36+ months of trying, they had their prayers answers x3.<BR/><BR/>And honestly, it made me think of you, because I can't imagine what it feels like to go through more than 12 months of trying. I was one of those girls who took about 4cycles to conceive, and even though I never posted on BOTB about my frustration, I really grew more and more disappointed every time AF showed. Hearing your story doesn't make me feel like you are judgmental or selfish -- I love your blog because it is honest and true and sometimes quite funny. <BR/>Sure, you complain sometimes. Who wouldn't? TTC with IF or no IF is mentally and emotionally exhausting. And watching Britney and her sister get pregnant so young and without a thought, and seeing your close friends and family get pregnant after a month or without even trying merits jealousy and frustration.<BR/><BR/>So anyways, I wanted to share all my random thoughts with you, because your blog is a beautiful sentiment, and I enjoy it.Nutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07473287609304808265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570553510339407807.post-89251799325684068362007-12-27T14:50:00.000-08:002007-12-27T14:50:00.000-08:00Hello,Your posting today brought tears to my eyes ...Hello,<BR/>Your posting today brought tears to my eyes and laughter to my heart today. Everything you say is so me, it totally ridiculous! Today we just found out we are not pregnant. We have been doing IUI treatments but next month we are going to try to do IVF. I really dont get it the whole Jamie-Lynn thing and girls getting knocked up who dont want to be and us people who are so ready for a baby but cant. Such a trial...and I know we need to be grateful for everything and we are. And I know I need to think positevly and I do but still nothing...We have got to keep going and trying. If not than we already know the answer. TRY is the key word. Thanks for all of your thoughts, they keep me sane and they make me laugh and I just wanted to let you know I feel EXACTLY the same way you do.heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14343405821391696520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570553510339407807.post-26110894918452076942007-12-27T14:21:00.000-08:002007-12-27T14:21:00.000-08:00http://talk.thenestbaby.com/boards/ShowPost.aspx?P...http://talk.thenestbaby.com/boards/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=38998014Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570553510339407807.post-2763323216153007652007-12-27T08:14:00.000-08:002007-12-27T08:14:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570553510339407807.post-40084658245276390892007-12-26T17:28:00.000-08:002007-12-26T17:28:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Beverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473592184023240522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570553510339407807.post-33061082197921508042007-12-26T17:24:00.000-08:002007-12-26T17:24:00.000-08:00anonymous I by accident rejected your second comme...anonymous I by accident rejected your second comment! Here it is:<BR/><BR/>reply to selfish - I apologize, I didn't think it was intentionally selfish nor do I think you are wrong for feeling a certain way and expressing those feelings. I think it is hard to see things from the POV that it doesn't have anything to do with YOUR IF issues. Because you've had trouble on the TTC journey, it's hard to see someone else have baby-related news and not be reminded of the troubles. Perhaps selfish is the wrong word to have used.<BR/><BR/>:)Beverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473592184023240522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570553510339407807.post-58219703147960048462007-12-26T16:45:00.000-08:002007-12-26T16:45:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570553510339407807.post-62040446379625812702007-12-26T08:09:00.000-08:002007-12-26T08:09:00.000-08:00Bless your heart.

I can relate 100% and I haven't even been at this as long as you. Your post made me cry today (on a particularly bad I'm having) I was sad for you, for me, for our husbands and all those couples w/ T-TTC. The way I try to explain it to my husband, who doesn't usually understand my feelings when it comes to IF, is that it is not that I don't want whoever it is to be pregnant, I'm happy for them, but I'm sad for me and I want to be pregnant too. I want us both to be pregnant, I'm not trying to wish I was pregnant instead. Love the blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570553510339407807.post-25781864241197994822007-12-25T17:59:00.000-08:002007-12-25T17:59:00.000-08:00I loved Juno.

People who (probably) have good intentions say the worst possible things - "be glad you don't have to go through this" or "why didn't you go to china, babies are like free ipods over there". I don't know the road you've been down, but it took us a while to conceive and I know it hurts. It is not selfish AT ALL to wince when you hear a pregnancy announcement - especially one like your SIL's. It will be your turn one day, I just hope it's soon. God bless you both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570553510339407807.post-56252427411543461562007-12-24T07:59:00.000-08:002007-12-24T07:59:00.000-08:00Do I really come across as selfish?

I said a thousand times over that I am happy for her, and I truely am. Not to mention excited about a new baby in the family. Just sad it doesn't come as easy for us...<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas! :)Beverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473592184023240522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570553510339407807.post-70614890015495608882007-12-24T06:59:00.000-08:002007-12-24T06:59:00.000-08:00As selfish as it at first sounded to me, I have to...As selfish as it at first sounded to me, I have to say it is a blessing you have this blog where you can share your feelings and be HONEST about what goes on in your head.

It also reminds me of my aunt, who's been working on adopting a child from Russia with her husband for the past few years, and yesterday she mentioned again that they may (or may not) be getting close to actually getting their little boy.<BR/><BR/>No real point to what I'm saying, really, other than that I really hope your dream of a baby is realized soon, as I know you will be such wonderful parents.

I just wanted to let you know that I spent tonight with my cousin and his wife. They've been married just over 8 years and have been TTC and going through IF treatments almost that entire time. She just found out two days ago that she is pregnant. There is hope. Sending you lots of strength for the holidays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
