Hi mona,

I'm so sorry. I've had 4 attempts at IVF. 2 got cancelled and 2 failed. I'm starting to think that it may never work. We're about to start again. I know how hard it is.
I think Dr. Gad Lavy at New England Fertility Institute is the finest in CT. We've done 1 cycle with him and we'll do ...

by day 30 of my cycle the early result tests should be working, right?
so, even though no period yet, the bfn i've been getting all week is actually a bfn, right?

i wish it would just come already and put me out of my misery.

i agree.
i've had my say.
as far as i'm concerned it's history.

i will work on becoming more judgemental so i can fit in.

"As you see there are plenty of women who want a baby and cannot conceive themselves."

no way?
seriously?

why didn't somebody tell me?

shanny, wow i've managed to achieve bad mother status before ever even getting pregnant. a new record-WOOHOOO!!!!!

shanny,
blah blah blah killing blah blah You are the only one who would stop you from being a good mother blah blah place of support and strength.

rofl.

prattle that's simultaneously inflammatory and sanctimonious.

keep up the good work.

heidi,
hear hear.

shanny,

hee, hee. "i'm sorry. . .i don't mean to get in a fight blah blah blah kill your child."

passive aggressive much?
thanks for the giggle.

kholtan,

my entire point is that it WOULD be a difficult and devastating decision to make.

i, also, have zero interest in personal attacks. and i think it's great that you have twins. i admire women who bear twins and who raise them.

motherhood is one of my greatest desires. but it is not my ...

kholtan,

sorry but your compliment was left-handed.
maybe my reply was rude. but i take exception to your suggestion that i'm treating ivf as though it were a careless night out on the town. and i find it condescending for you to imply that i will somehow come to see the light or something and ...

Di,

back at ya.

dianec,

yes that's right. EVERYBODY is entitled to their opinion. as long, it seems, as it is acceptable to popular opinion on this board.

funny, but i don't recognize the same courtesy that you do in posts that accuse me of being 1)selfish, 2)reckless 3) told that i have "no right" to optimize ...

kholtan,

um, yeah.

you do know that carrying triplets puts babies and mother at risk, right?
personally, i think that's a more reckless decision than reducing.
if you don't mind me borrowing your phrase.
and carrying twins has its own set of risks.

as for the whole "god's ride of faith" thing?
i ...

kabillion,

i'm not insinuating anything.
i'm saying it flat out.

you want to instigate by calling me ridiculous? well then i feel have no qualms about identifying you as sanctimonious. that's not a personal attack. it's a response to your presumptuous tone. but you're right--i know nothing about ...
