Why I LOVE this Section...

[Bebecake]

I love this section because...

I have been off of the pill for 5 years and no baby...

I have been taking hpts for over a year and no ...

I have had two surgeries to correct my fertility...

I am on every pill imaginable to get pregnant that makes me feel crazy...

I don't belong in TTC because every other day I see someone after a month or two of trying with a BFP...

It hurts EVERY time I see someone pregnant or announcing their pregnancy in TTC...

But... I feel joy in LTTC when I DO see a BFP, because it gives me hope that someone who has the same difficulties has finally gotten their wish!

I feel like when you are TTC it is the hardest and most disheartening experience when you see a BFN every month, and my LTTC buddies are there to support me... and it helps me to know that I can help them...


Why do you love LTTC?

I've been lurking here, though I've been on many other boards, and you're right. There is something very different about long-termers. I've been TTC on and off for 9 years now, and I feel totally out of place on regular boards

I completely agree. I think If it hadn't been a year of fully trying and not using assisted conception I might not be here, but I know I have problems... and we all don't fit in with regular ttc'ers.

I think everyone on this section feels like there is just something wrong with our fertility whether it is unexplained or unfortunate. We bond because we have a common thread... WE NEED HELP to get pregnant.

And you're absolutely right about the ltttc annoucement thread. It gives hope that there's hope for us all.

 

[sparkle83]

And we've got so much combined knowledge we could set up the best fertility clinic ever

 

[Jan34]

Damn right we could!

Sorry to gatecrash this section as I know I do not belong here but I wanted to add my two cents.

Without the BnB LTTTC section, I would have lost my mind when going through 5 failed rounds of Clomid, shots and IUI among countless months.

I love that everyone support each other even though none of our fertility problems are exactly the same. I love and always will love the LTTTC girlies!

I love this section b/c just now when I saw the post from my Alaskan buddy Genki, my face lit up b/c I am thinking about how truly happy I am for her that after so many years, she finally got her......


I also love this section b/c it makes me feel "normal" to be around other girls that have problems conceiving....

 

[NeyNey]

Awww you girls are just fantastic

Why do you love LTTC?

Ditto! I also love to see LTTTC/ACers get a and have a hard time reading the "got pregnant first month" posts.

Good luck Bebe! Glad you are my cycle and Clomid buddy...

I love the people here...no matter where everyone is from in the world...we can be miles apart, but yet we are still united by this one thing we all have in common.

We don't judge eachother and we help out when and where we can.

I'm feeling the love people!!

I love this section because it makes me feel so at home. No matter how bad the news is you receive, or how low you are feeling there is alway at of support in here to help you restore some hope again. Plus in here you will never hear the words "relax it will happen" or "it will happen when you least expect it" which I think is the worst thing a LTTTCer an hear lol!

I also love the bfp section in here, because it really does give you hope xx

 

[hayley352]

for the all the reasons you have said is why i love this section x

 

[MillieMoo]

I just wanna agree with all of you. Since i've found this LTTC section its given me so much hope! Thanks ladies!

 

[babymaybe]

I completely agree. When I was in TTC I avoided the BFP annoucements but here its my first stop when I get on line. Each new BFP is like a massive ray of hope.

I also hear that WAY TOO often, and I am DONE with that. If I give up (which will be never) I can't imagine it will just stop invading my mind...

Pregnancy is all I ever think of... All I ever hope for...

I truly feel like I am a failure if I cannot reproduce. Its a HORRIBLE feeling, and I'm usually so positive. Trying to have a baby has truly humbled me. I'm used to getting what I want, and this is nature... You can't force it, or it will never happen.

It kills me to imagine that I will never have my own child... I cannot fathom that I will not be a mom... I just wish it didn't kill me every time I heard about a pregnancy, or saw someone pregnant, or saw a baby announcement. I just have to think "it WILL be ME someday, and this baby is going to know how much WE wanted it!" <insert sob here>

 

[Sambatiki]

I love this section because of threads like this... and that no-one judges me for my feelings... if they are wrong sometimes!

xxxx xxxx

And wishing you all the very best with your journeys! xxx

 

[Bebecake]

Sambatiki: Feelings are NEVER wrong. It is who we are. We may think they are wrong because someone is judging us. It's like that old saying goes... "All is fair IN LOVE and WAR" We are in love with the idea of having a baby of our own, and we are in combat with our bodies. We fight for a pregnancy... We may win, or we may lose...

Good Luck! We all could use some

 

[hopeful4baby]

Bebecake and everyone else,

I love this section, because lately I feel you are the only people can I relate to. It isn't just pregnancy and baby announcements which brings me to tears. It's also listening to my friends or work colleagues complaining how "lucky I am" for still not having a child, for having the "freedom" to do as I please.Watching them how ungrateful they are for they have, how for granted they are taking it all while suffering in silence because I have no choice, just "to take it"!

 

[Ilove]

I love this section because you guys barely know me, Im fairly new here, but already Ive had tonnes of support and kind words from those of you who know what were going through, and we really need that right now. Thanks
