As a man who's wife had two children, we never went through any of this, and quite honestly we had no concept of what it was like. I was indifferent to the whole thing before, but it's been all very thought provoking for me.<BR/><BR/>Unlike many bloggers, I don't stop with the first entry when I check out a new blog. I read the whole page and I comment when a post moves me to. Life is too short to worry about someone being offended by a show of support--this comment would be a perfect example.~Easyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368866817728464561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488055995426987279.post-30967592611947746712008-01-24T14:52:00.000-05:002008-01-24T14:52:00.000-05:00Hi - I think it is really personal to the individu...Hi - I think it is really personal to the individual blogger whether they want to see stuff. In all honesty, they don't have to click on your link. I think what you say is probably more important to most people than anything. Personally, I love reading blogs by people with children because it gives me some good perspective for when I do get there. I still can't read pregnancy blogs, whether the person had IF for 10 years or not. It's just too painful.Mrs.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03810703338888705439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488055995426987279.post-4243019229957435932008-01-19T08:37:00.000-05:002008-01-19T08:37:00.000-05:00I agree, I was happy to see your comment.

I've gone through 2ndary IF and had to take my toddler-preschooler son to many of my appts. I know this is often hurtful to some, but my situation gave me no other option. I hoped they would see him as an ART success (although he is not). Anyway, I'm saying I understand your worries.<BR/><BR/>I'll be back, since expecting twins now I need a whole new support group!Waiting Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487061896648183375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488055995426987279.post-63642769643021831152008-01-17T17:36:00.000-05:002008-01-17T17:36:00.000-05:00I understand that as well.

You know what though- When I was going through IVF- the comments and support that I recieved from others (who were now moms after having ivf) really made me feel positive.Gemini Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10814946729788376692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488055995426987279.post-87777540071769322582008-01-17T17:22:00.000-05:002008-01-17T17:22:00.000-05:00I appreciated the support you gave me when I was c...I appreciated the support you gave me when I was cycling and I love the fact that you still read up on and comment now! I can be a bad and reading and not commenting.. I don't know why.. something I can't think of anything to say, sometimes I just can't relate to a post and feel I offer nothing to it. <BR/><BR/>Anyway.. I say keep commenting. When I had my m/c in May. The comments got me through it. No matter who they were from :-)<BR/><BR/>Tracey~singletraceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15361586713986688123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488055995426987279.post-6363845593656092682008-01-17T08:52:00.000-05:002008-01-17T08:52:00.000-05:00I too feel like I can't leave comments, only becau...I too feel like I can't leave comments, only because I don't want people to hurt. My readership also went way down on my IVF blog when I finally had a viable pregnancy - it's hard, because you want to be there for someone, but you don't want to make it worse.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236724715757740367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488055995426987279.post-90957562595856471592008-01-16T22:12:00.000-05:002008-01-16T22:12:00.000-05:00I'm really glad you posted this, because I feel th...I'm really glad you posted this, because I feel the same way. Sometimes I will leave a comment as a guest, so that they won't click to my blog and get hurt, but I don't know how true to myself or to them I am being.

I even had to password protect my blog because I was getting some pretty hurtful comments from a a few on-line forum board members who somehow found my blog, which really hurt. ;o( *hugs*Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227854170957473360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488055995426987279.post-4617823885759345712008-01-16T02:51:00.000-05:002008-01-16T02:51:00.000-05:00The previous comment was from me. Sorry!I struggle...The previous comment was from me. Sorry!<BR/><BR/>I struggle with this, too. It is so hard to know when the comments I am about to leave will hurt someone more than help them when they link back to me. I guess I tend to believe that others have good intentions for the most part, and know that I do, too, and so I leave comments when I feel I can contribute. <BR/><BR/>That being said, there are a lot of times when I have nothing to offer. When I am just at a loss at how to respond, I wimp out and say nothing. Not the best way to go, but I am guilty of it. I am trying my hardest to stop that, though!Staciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471803757485977959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488055995426987279.post-2513918924932061452008-01-16T02:48:00.000-05:002008-01-16T02:48:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Staciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471803757485977959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488055995426987279.post-90323796929055209862008-01-15T21:16:00.000-05:002008-01-15T21:16:00.000-05:00it is a fine line...I think there is always that f...it is a fine line...I think there is always that feeling of "pang" for people who are still trying and suffering the roller coaster. My readership went way down once I got P-it was difficult at first, but I understand why people stop reading. I felt bad commenting on people's blog when I was pregnant-I felt like they didn't want to hear from me. <BR/>I think you should comment whenever you want to-I know people want the support-especially when they are hurting and going thru a rough time. Even if they don't comment back, I am pretty sure they appreciate your kind words.MoMohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10190392077651204594noreply@blogger.com
