Wow, I have been reading this thread silently for quite some time following you all through the ups and downs. I feel moved to say that I think it's a shame that a forum such as this one, intended to provide a place of support for women TTC, has become just the opposite of that in this case. I agree that when there's a negative environment, it may not be best to stay. But, if you can bring positivity to the environment, why not be the change you wish to see? Ignore the immaturity, ignore the crazy. Skip over the posts that are clearly written in a hormonal rage. Respond lovingly with compassion to those that need support.
I know it may be difficult to watch some folks go through the same pain month after month, but that does not make their pain any less significant. I agree that PMing someone, if you feel so strongly to comment on their situation, is the best way to go if you even slightly suspect that you may be hurting them. And clearly, advice was given to someone in this situation with the best of all intentions and it was received poorly. What happened after that leaves my head spinning.
I just want to encourage those that wish to leave to stay and to let the bad eggs leave. This thread was so wonderful for so long and will continue to be so, if it is nurtured and fed positivity.
I'm sending all of you buckets of
Amber-- Please don't give up TTC, esp without an official SA from the doc. Even with a low sperm count, you will be successful TTC and can do so without much medical intervention. IUI and clomid (for him) can work wonders (a good friend of mine conceived her twins this way!) I'm cheering you on girlfriend, don't give up!
Pambolina-- You chart has me stumped! Perhaps you haven't O'd yet?
