I have been through a journey of so much intense pain trying for years to conceive a child. The pain has been so encapsulatingly painful and heart wrentching. I found a light at the end of the tunnel three months ago when I decided to go the route of donor egg IVF. Although it has been an incredibly painful journey that my hubby and I have had to walk, with him having testicular cancer and my problems of Polycystic ovaries and endomtriosis I have always remained extremely positive. Unfortunately our first donor ivf did not succeed. The past six weeks have been incredibly difficult and terribly painful. This week I managed to pick myself up and put the pieces together and decided to take some proactive steps towards preparing for my next attempt.
The excitement and belief that I had leading up to and during the last IVF has finaly come back to me. One of my proactive steps was to join a chat line or forum. I have never before chatted on any line and was totally in the dark as to what to do. Anyway I registered on this site this morning and put up a post that I thought would be encouraging to others. I thought that all the pain I had been through could be put to use in offering encouragement to people in a similar position to me. Very sadly I received an email from another member saying that my story sounded like a sales pitch and I now see my post is no longer on the site. I came here to find companionship and to offer companionship, empathy and understanding to others.
I find it terribly sad that someones enthusiasm and belief in something they believe can truely assist others should be misconstrued in such a ghastly fashion. Does excitement and belief = a sales pitch? I had hoped that I could offer someone who may be walking a similar path to me some other options that they just may not have been aware of. I am deeply saddened by this response..... surely a forum should allow people to chat about there disappointments and those things which they have found to be positive and helpful and which they believe may be helpful to others?
