How could I be so stupid and insensitive as to have posted about my BFP on Mother's Day?! What the heck was I thinking??
That's got to have been the worst day of the year (maybe aside from Christmas) for anyone who is TTC or LTTTC. And I go and put my 'happy' news up for all to see?
I'm really mad with myself and wish I could have done it differently. We never celebrate mother's day (or father's day) so I never even gave it a thought - it was just another sunday.
I'm an idiot, and I'm very very sorry to anyone whose feelings got hurt by me.
hun, i don't think anyone would hold it against you - you can't help when you got your BFP and you don't have to hide your happiness. you should know by now that many long termers will avoid the pregnancy announcments area anyway, and even if they don't, they know that the area will possibly make them sad - but for some, seeing fellow long termers get their BFP's can make the pain go away for just a little while... it gives them hope on the hard days (like mothers day) that all is not lost.
well, that's how i see it anyway! seeing PG announcements for long termers any time brings me joy after so much pain.
Lenny please dont be so hard on yourself, you are one of the most thoughtful people I know!!!
Honestly I didnt even twig that it was mothers day I was just so happy for you. Most people will be celebrating with you not worried about themselves.
As BG said it is inspirational to us LTTTCers.
Congratulations on your BFP... You are so gorgeous.. To even think that you have caused hurt to others is a beautiful thing but you have to enjoy what you have.. I would hate to have to feel bad when I get my long awaited BFP because somebody else didn't... We all have our path to follow and yours takes a turn here... Enjoy it.... We all want you to...
Don't worry yourself at all - I completely agree with BG - you yourself being a LTTTCer know that we avoid the pregnancy area when things are tough.
AND!!!
You know what???
You DESERVE to be shouting it from the rooftops, let alone just posting in the pregnancy threads
You've gone through a crappy journey to get yourself where you are now... you deserve it, and you should be enjoying every single moment of it
You know how I feel - I sent you a PM saying how thrilled I was for you... I have no doubt every single one of us LTTTCers all feel the same way - its so fantastic when one of us gets there... not only for them, but it also gives us reason to press forward, we could be next
Your news is an inspiration - don't shadow it or apologise sweetheart - take in every moment xxxxx
Oh Lenny i can only speak for myself ... i have been trying for #2 for nearly 2years now & i am trying hard to accept the fact that my precious DD whom is 3 will more than likely be an only child as i'm 43 after all ... so on that note Lenny what i want to say to you is for me i actually & honestly DO find happiness in everyelse's joy when they are pregnant or when their bub is born ... it's like i take a snippet of everyone's brilliant news and it makes me feel warm & fuzzy inside ... as my moto is i'd rather see someone have that joy then not at all as that would then break my heart. And for anyone that is trying for their 1st baby there is always, always still hope to hold on to for now because they are 'still' trying ... i know as i had my DD at 40 when i was told i could never have her BUT hey i did ... So, yes hope is there for EVERYONE if the door hasn't completely shut yet ... & Lenny you enjoy giving your news to all even if it is on Mother's Day as it is meant to be HAPPY news & that's just what it is HAPPY !!!!!!!!!!
