Re: Missing Nestie
wow... coincidence that I peeked in to do some lurking
Thank you for thinking of me. I decided I needed to step away from the board a few months ago because I just wasn't in a good place. I'm not expecting anyone to understand or agree, but I just felt like this board was becoming heavily PR - and that's not an complaint about all the pregnant nesties, I'm very happy for you all and wish you all the very best... it's just hard to read about milestones, u/s, bump pics, symptoms, babymoons, etc. I hope that doesn't make any one feel guilty, its not my intention, it's just hard enough to have to hear and see people I know IRL move on to stages where I would be or where I'd like to be again, let alone to willing put myself in that situation on the internet (friends, family, coworkers and good ol' facebook do enough).... I hope no one takes that as I'm unhappy for people, because that couldn't be further from the way I feel, I guess I just don't know how to put it into words....
Other than that, life isn't that great. I was dx with diminish ovarian reserve and have gone through a bunch of testing and monitoring. My grandmother passed away last night, which we knew was coming but my heart breaks for my mom as she decided on Saturday to go out this week to say goodbye. Her flight was this morning so she just missed her chance. She also had her dog pass away last month unexpectly, and she lost her job the month before that. P's company is in the toilet and only has a few months left of survival (its a start up), so he's been interviewing trying to find something stable and new. And I guess to top off the ice cream sundae of suck, I got a BFN this morning...
I'm sorry if this whole post came off super bitter... I'm really not in that bad of place, sounds worse on paper than I feel. It's just been a difficult year to say the least. And I guess mostly I don't want to bring the rest of the board and their joy down with my misfortunes...
