Random Thoughts...
Blanca - You can call me a ***** or call me evil... however this was my random thoughts. I been on this board for 3+ years... I have seen all changes.
Everyone is entiled to an opinion and freedom of speech.
Also OH would not offer a TTC board. And just because the title says Pregnancy doesnt mean that this board is just about pregnancy.
Just my 2cents...
With that...end of random thoughts.
Maybe I need to take a step away from this board. If you want to find me... I'm on facebook. PM and I will add you.

I usually take my "random complaints" to a different venue, like my blog, so as not to irritate a board full of people with my "random thoughts".
I did this a few months ago because I was sick of many comments to which I do not believe in. I certainly didn't start a thread expressing those thoughts because I KNEW it would just **** people off on the boards. Instead I took it off board and posted a blog on it.
Sometimes I'll just write my complaints in a journal because sometimes just writing my "random thoughts" help me feel better. Posting them here though, you were asking for backlash and mixed reactions and with a board full of hormonal women on each end of the spectrum, WTH were you thinking?!
I get where you're coming from but I understand the other side and I know this could have been handled differently without offending people.

Sara,
I completely understand what you are saying. No flaming from me. And I have noticed you don't post here much. Luckily I can keep up with your shenanigans on FB.....LOL.
I am sort of in the middle on this one, I guess. Some people just are paranoid about everything. It's thier nature. I don't think it's anything that can be changed. They are just natural born worriers. I have many of them in my real life, and so I guess I have an understanding about it.
Me? I don't worry about anything until I feel like I am DYING. Plus I have the advantage of working in a physicians office and my doc listens to any complaint I do have and answers questions for me so I rarely have to rely on opinions of others if I am not feeling right.
When I was preggo with Jantzen, I did do a daily thread of ranting. I felt like it was a good way for each person to vent out thier aches, pains, and issues in one thread. It's where I would ***** about lack of sleep or Johnny ******g me off, or swollen ankles.
I stopped doing it when I personally didn't have any pregnancy *****ing to do anymore. But maybe that would be a good thing again.
I dunno, I am rambling now..............

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Liz, I know you are sweetie. You are a list maker & worrier. I know this! LOL. Many people are worriers. There's nothing wrong with that. There may be something more wrong with me that I don't worry about crap!
I love you girl............

Well Sara, after reading your post and all replies. Thank you for your post, prayers for those TTC, and for caring enough about others than just to focus on your pregnancy bliss.
To those who say it is a post-op pregnancy board and TTC need to understand that or that TTC and those who have suffered loss need to find another board. I say to you that I pray you never have to experience the losses and process that some of us had to go through. Until you have a walked in someone else's shoes of infertility don't judge it. It is not that you didn't have a period or have PCOS, I am talking about fertility drugs that alter who you are a person, losses that devastate you to the core, and injection poison to kill a fetus to save your life.
Yes, I am happy for every single person who gets pregnant. But, I think every living person in the world sometimes needs to not be so selfish and understand others, surroundings, and life. Maybe I am just the type of person that tries to never be so selfish and always remember others. WHO KNOWS!
I told my husband the other day that I have proved that I would walk through hell to have a baby. There is probably one person on this board that really knows how bad things have been for me personally. Yes, I have provided updates so that others TTC will know that they have someone to talk to. Some of the regulars who have seen my posts over the last year and half know bits and pieces.
Yes, this is a support board. So, everyone should offer support. My comment long ago was take the side effects of being pregnant as a reminder that you are the fortune one to soon be able to hold a miracle in your arms. See those side effects nausea, pain, insomnia, constipation as a reminder that your baby is saying I am healthy from inside you.
