irritated!!!

[rachel_f_]

so i go over to the first tri, because i love to read success stories.

And there are a few threads when women are moaning about how terrible they feel and that its making them ''miserable''.

If they had been trying to conceive for more than the 2 months it took them to get pregnant, they would TRULY understand the meaning of miserable!!

Rant over i suppose..... just irratates me!!! id give everything i own to be feeling like they do! id love to be feeling/being sick every morning........

Anyways, iv been trying to be more positive, now iv got that off my chest.. i feel much better!!

sorry for the moan ladies!!

I did too. Even after 19 months and 4 IUIs.

I know all too well how tough it is to see some people drip 24/7 for what appears to be no reason as a lot of my friends are pregnant at the moment and half of them seem to just moan, and moan and moan over the smallest thing. Personally, I think I would love to be in your position, given the fact that half of them got pregnant so easy and me and the hubby have been trying for so long. On the other hand, I see people like my S-I-L who is pregnant and really poorly (in and out of hospital since the start, on drips, constant supply of pills to help keep her levels 'normal' etc) and then I think that I would do exactly the same if I were to be in that position. I think it all depends on the person who is doing the moaning, some people genuinely are having a crappy pregnancy, whereas others will just moan at any given opportunity as if it's like another way of letting everyone know that they are still pregnant!

i know all about that irritated feeling, i get really irritated when i read a thread on lttc board and see pg women who conceived in a matter of months replying giving their opinion when i notice almost all of the other boards on this site are to do with pg and this is the only one us long term ladies who are still mostly childless after many years of failed treatments and losses come to chat.

edited to ask is there anyway to edit settings, to block out other posters tickers and profile pics when they are showing positive pg tests and pg tickers, i find every time i see this like a kick in my stomach and very upsetting. thanks

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[cooch]

I do the same. I like to hear success stories but it even gets my back up when people get pregnant straight away. It really irritates me. I generally only read the LTTC success stories.

 

[FutureMommie]

it does get hard to read about the complaining, especially when your've been trying for a while. I have been ttc for 3.5 years now so I find it in my best interest to stay away from that board. I don't want to come across like a bi**h, I just try to keep in mind that my time is coming.

Vickie, thanks that is good to know, I think I will try it.

 

[rosebud_01_99]

thank you so much for telling me how to remove the tickers and avatars, i just did it and it worked, thanks, it will help a bit especially when so many pg women keep posting here in recent weeks.

Like all ladies I know pregnancy will be a gift I will treasure especially after a battle to get there, blood tests, hosp appointments, tears, endless scans, procedures in theatre, going home feeling empty ...

It will all be worth it in the end when we get our bfps!!

Good luck gals, we can do it!!!!! Xxxxxx

This thread has been cleaned up

I am not sure why pregnant women are coming into the LTTC board and commenting on a thread like this?

Let's keep it on topic, any further posts arguing against how the OP and others feel on this very sensitive area of the board will be promptly removed.

 

[Armywife84]

Oh boy.

That's why I specifically stay on LTTC. Not really interested in reading about some success story about a woman who it took a matter of 5 months to conceive, then she's complaining about how she's the size of a house.

Although, I do know a few LTTCers that are still hanging out in TTC#1 and I do enjoy reading their stories, if they happen to end with a .

I do understand where women have a truly terrible pregnancy, as my SIL is going thru her second. But then again, if it was so horrid the first why even get pregnant a second time when it could potentially be like the first? Maybe I just don't fully understand because I've never been pregnant .

 

[rachel_f_]

Thanks for all your comments ladies... Its just irritating!! Don't get my wrong, a lady on here I talk to a lot has just gotten pregnant after 13 years LTTC and I am truly happy for her, she so deserves it!!! So its not that I envy pregnant women (well actually I do) but not in a horrible way!! I just don't want to see people moaning about something that would actually complete my life!!! Maybe ill stay away from the first tri!!! Xxxx

 

[adriansgirl]

I agree. I think im gonna stay in ltttc too. ive been going into the tww and see women posting the same thing over and over. I try to give advice but i get attitude cause its not what they want to hear. ive been ttc with oh for 3 yrs. and had 1 mc. so i know how symptom spotting goes, and i have had all of them alot. just dont want these women to be crushed if af show up, but since im not encoureging there symptoms im a downer. oh well

I have to admit I complained a lot when I was pregnant, but that's mainly because I came down with a chest infection which landed me in hospital (which then combined with a MC).

If you've never been pregnant before, you don't think of these things. I'm a very negative/pessimistic person, but I'd not contemplated the fact I could lose the baby (incidentally, OH, who always looks on the bright side, was very worried about the possibility. Weird, huh?). I just didn't know any better.

I actually said to my sister "I don't want to be pregnant anymore" in jest less than an hour before I found out I was bleeding. All because of the chest infection for which I couldn't take any meds due to being pregnant. It's my biggest, most enormous regret and something I think about daily.

I am sure you regret saying it and feeling that way, but you absolutely did not contribute to loosing your baby.
Don't carry the guilt with you, it's not your fault that you lost your baby.

I totally agree with this, please don't blame yourself... (((HUGS)))

I was LTTTC (4 years) before I conceived my son in 2009. I come in here, even though I am PG again, because I like to offer advice and hope for women who are going through anything similar to what I did (I had moderate endo, a lap and failed IVF).
I totally understand where you're coming from and even though my pregnancies have not been easy, I don't moan (even off the forum). I feel incredibly lucky and I try my best to enjoy the experience of being pregnant.
All the best with you journey hun x

Ps. So sorry about the ticker
