Why????

[StormAngel]

Have i offeneded anyone in any way?

I am just like everyone else here, looking for support, and trying to give support!

So why is it that exept for 1 or 2 people, when i post, nobody answers, or even agnkowleges my posts!

Maybe i'm just being silly (perhaps AF is coming) but i really feel like i'm wasting my time coming on here at all!

[sweetangel2811]

Hello!

I just thought that I would say hello and just say that I sometimes feel a bit like that too.

I don't think you are wasting your time coming on here. I think you make a very valuable contribution to the thread and would be disappointed if you decided not to come on here any longer.

I am sorry if it has seemed like I have ignored you, it certainly wasn't intentional. I can't comment for anyone else.

Jo, you poor thing!! I'm so sorry if I have made you feel that way! :(

To be honest, and I can only speak for myself, I think that when I see your posts, they are usually so brief (and no wonder with 4 kids to look after :eek: ) that they get a bit lost in amongst the longer, more detailed ones. I know that's not a reason to not respond at all, but with so many people to keep up with, it's hard to acknowledge everyone.

NOW... are you sure AF is coming?? Because when I conceived, one of the earliest signs I had was that I was veeeeeeeery CRANKY!!! ;)

Do keep us posted, give us lots of detail!!! And I will make much more effort in future!

[sunflower]

hey jlk i sometimes feel that way too! i just think it depends on how much time you spend on here.. i'm sure no one is deliberately ignoring you there is just so many people to keep track of its hard choosing which one to respond too, i understand how you feel though..

[Harmony83]

Awww, I am sorry you feel like that, I don't think you've offended anyone!!
My problem is that it takes me so long to think of something useful to say to someone, that by the time I do, someone has already said it!!! :p But I promise to make more of an effort (and to think quicker ;) ) for everyone!!!
Please don't go, we love having you here!!!

[StormAngel]

I am so sorry if i have made any of you feel bad!!!!

I regretted it as soon as i posted, i don't even know why i did!!!!
but now reading you lovely replies, you have all brought a tear to my eyes! Thank you!

At the moment i feel really emotional, i'm crying at the drop of a hat, AF isn't due for another 7 days, maybe a bit early for any symptoms of PG, but then i am never emotional before AF either!

Again i am sooooooo sorry for making anyone feel bad, maybe i need to go off and have a good howl!

I really feel like a big dipstick now!

[peterpan]

Hey there,

I dont reply to everyones posts, mainly because I dont know what I'm talking about.....sometimes I just dont have the time....

But rest assured, I think we all love to see you posts! :)

Kat

[brideofjabba]

Jo, i feel like that sometimes too, especially since i'm new to the board. Everyone seems to have their little friendships going. I read everyones posts but don't always post anything particular unless i feel like i have something important to contribute and like Kat said most times i don't know what i'm talking about! lol. I would like to get more involved though.

As for feeling emotional. I am totally like that at the moment too! Last night dh said that sometimes he doesn't feel like sex because he's tired etc. Fair enough, i don't always feel like it either! Actually, truth be told i'm the one turning him down! But last night i was just so upset and cried and everything. Totally stupid! Af is 8 days away for me. And i'm feeling a little ansty.

Take care.

Andrea

[StormAngel]

Maybe TTC is getting to me, i guess you all know what i mean!

[MilkOnTap]

Hey jlk - I totally understand! Sometimes I will put up a post and check it a few hours later to see that only 5 people have viewed it!!! It gets a bit depressing. Other times I realise that maybe I shouldn't go on with the 'woe-is-me' quite so much. Sometimes I just need to vent and I'm not really expecting anyone to reply.

Honestly - sometimes I go back and read a posting or thread again and realise that all these hormones running madly around in my head and heart are making me write stupid things and regret it later!!!

Now - did any of THAT make sense?!?! Hehehehe...

[cosmic]

Jo, you didn't offend anyone. But it's good to see you're not the only one feeling that way (well, not GOOD... but you know what I mean :rolleyes: ). Anyway, I do hope you feel better. And yes, the TTC does get to everyone and YES being overly emotional was such a huuuuuuge pregnancy symptom for me! So you could be in a very different mood in a week or so. ;)

Don't go anywhere. We all like to see you online. :)

[ElizaDee]

Ok Jo I feel the same way, I posted a few questions and there were something like 15 views and no one answered! :eek:

I don't always post either because I don't always know what to say.... and I am usually a little chatter box.

I am a bit in the dumps and want to say heaps but am affraid I will turn people off and they will not want to be my friend. :( see here I go and trying to hijack your post.

I like you and your posts so please don't leave :p

[petster]

Hi JLK (and others)

I know what you mean!! I've posted in the IVF section a couple of times, and I've decided I must me invisible in there! I also seem to have caused a thread to "freeze" :o . We have 1 DD conceived through IVF and are TTC #2 - I was wondering if I had upset people by posting in there, because we already have a daughter!! I'm probaly being oversensitive, but... It's AF time for me, so perhaps I'll use that as an excuse...

I am also guilty of not replying to posts - I'll read them and then can't think of anything to add, or I get distracted with DD... Not really a great excuse - I probably need to be better at giving the support that I expect from others...

Cheers!

Miranda

P.S. You've never posted anything JLK that has offended me...

[Supermum]

Hi Jo

The only reason I would have never replied to something you posted ( or anyone for that matter ) is if I had no idea on the subject matter!

I'm sorry you feel left out of things ... I'm not part of a group or clique here - just to prove the point I posted Nigel no Friends!

And thank you for making me feel better - at least now I don't feel like the only dipstick on the site. :)

Have a beautiful day. deb

[ellymayone]

JLK - don't feel bad that is how I feel most of the time and that is why I don't
even come on here much anymore bc it seems like you said except for a couple
of people noone even acknowledges me. I talk mostly on another forum bc they
like to talk and really help and support each other. Like you said I felt silly for
feeling that way but I needed some support and someone to talk to when I
was feeling down.

[Briannabear]

Dear Jo,
Im terribly sorry if you've felt like Ive ignored your posts in any way! :p
Like a lot of other people, I usually only post if I have something constructive to add, or if I happen to know a bit about the subject.
I'll make more of an effort next time! Sorry! :)

[StormAngel]

Hi all

Once again i want to apologize to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't mean to make anyone feel bad, i think i just needed to vent!

Am feeling much better today (still emotional) but not to the extent that i feel miserable like i did yesterday.

Please accept my heartfelt apologies for being such a twit!!!!!!

[Nickster]

Heya jlk,
I guess maybe if I haven't replied to any of your posts it's because, like others have said, I don't know the subject matter. Truth is, there are often so many people here and so many posts, I just like to stickybeak sometimes, and am about to reply, when suddenly, out of the blue "waaaaaaaahhh! mamamamama!"
I'm sure you know what I'm talking about with 4 kids!
It's great you feel you can vent. I have some absolutely rotten stinking days and want to vent online, but halfway through a post think "oh, why even bother - get yourself together girl, you sound like a total loser - what will the bubhub girls think?" so I don't! I'm very good at beating myself up - I will try and pay more attention to your posts in future. Don't take anything to heart, sweetie, I'm sure nobody here is intentionally doing anything against you!
bye for now! :)

[Peaceangels]

Hi jlk - I feel the same as you (not many replies to my post's), but this is the 1st chat group I have been with and I guess I am waiting to comment on post's that I can relate to or that I feel I am knowledgable on.....(so I don't sound like an idiot! :rolleyes: ).
Anyway, I have been writing our conception struggle's on a word document and have been too scared to post it here, but I may do so now? :o I thought maybe I could give some hope to other's, or make someone feel better.............. :D
PS - I usually only go to "new posts", but I will keep an eye out for yours!

[cosmic]

Hi Vanessa,

This has nothing at all to do with the subject matter but I couldn't help noticing your little boy's birthday is the same as mine (minus about 30 years of course... :o). I am 1st Feb and my DH is 7th April. Aquarius and Aries - good combination. :)

Well cosmic, you must be a wonderful person because my DS1 is just lovely (we always say he picked that special date 1/2/3 as he was a week late), and the 1st Aquarian I have known well. Oh, i must add that your DH must also be a great person, us Aries (i'm 15/04) are special people (if you can handle the determined/stubborn side!) ;)

[cosmic]

Actually Ness, I find it's my DH who has had to get used to MY stubborn side! :rolleyes: He certainly can have a fiery temper though.. not in a bad way but I have learned to vacate the house whenever he starts on a DIY project. Oh dear, the language!! :D

[peterpan]

Hi Jo & Girls,
Jo don't feel like a twit.. I was a twit today rang DH at work and started crying
Oh ask me why and I have no idea!!!!!
I think it was when I was at the shop and a lady was looking at DS and asked how many children I had and I said this is my first one he is 16 weeks and she said well you left it late to have children I'm 35 I don't think I'm old am I????
Maybe I look old today :confused:
I think I'm lonely all my family live in N.Z and I guess i am a wee bit lost with being a SAHM it is all so new.
sorry for sounding like a wimp.....
Have a great weekend girls

Fancy saying that! Some people are so rude arent they!

[StormAngel]

Angela, how rude was that woman! My god!!

[maybe1more]

jlk- sorry sweet, i hope i have replied to your posts, if not i am truly sorry, and i do know what you mean, but i guess sometimes people dont know what to say or havent experience some things that we are going thru, and i so know what you mean about the emotional side of things, i finally go my period yesterday, which is the first one ive had since my D&C so to say im cranky is an understatement, im so moody and my hormones are shattered, i dont think having implanon in helps either, or due to the fact that i so want another baby but have to wait at least 6 months due to the molar pregnancy i had. Keep your chin up sweetie i hope you fall pregnant soon. Sending you big cuddles! :D

[StormAngel]

Thanks Firstbub, time will soon tell if it's pregnancy causing all this crying and tearyness, AF is due on Wednesday!

Hopefully your 6mths will go quickly, and your Implanon could very well be causing some of your hrmones to up the spout, it did to me when iwas on it!

[shereejoy]

Jlk I just realised this post was here and didn't know what you meant when you said on the "The trying to conceive - September" Thread, sorry about the "WHY" post, some time ago. Now I get it! I am a bit slow.

I know you don't want to make a further big deal about this, but just wanted to say sorry from myself and all the others as the first thing I notice when you post is that they are short, as you are busy with all your children. But always thought how nice it was that you contributed, at least you make an effort to keep in touch and for that I thank you.

Hope you are feeling better.

Sheree
