  • Triggering.. My step father

    Monday, September 1, 2008

    I had a nightmare about this and thought I would share. I dont really bring up my past much as I know alot of peeps here have been through worse. My step father was a very cruel and mean man, but he never did anything sexually to us.. Thank God.. Just physical, mental and very much emotionally. My mother only stopped him once. When he was going to throw a lamp at me when I called the police on hi...

  • No baby for us

    Wednesday, September 17, 2008 | A Sad story

    I got the call that our 4th IVF cycle was a failure. I am absolutely crushed right now. I can't figure out why they keep putting back good embryos and they never implant. I am heart broken and scared of what all of this means. My fear is making me angry. THIS IS JUST NOT FAIR!!! I deserve to be a Mommy. I deserve to feel a child growing inside me, to raise them and teach them all I can. ...

  • BIG FAT STUPID NEGATIVE!!!

    Thursday, March 27, 2008 | A Painful story

     We did everything right that we could think of. DF worked so hard to get his counts up, I stopped most of my meds as hard as it was, I went on bed rest for five days, we talked to the embryos all the time, we prayed and prayed. I don't know what else we could of done different. This is just so unfair. I am so hurt and angry right now.
    We are not giving up though. I have more fight in me...

  • Tired of being strong!

    Monday, December 1, 2008 | A Sad story

    I can't fucking take much more! I am so tired of asking God for strength to get through things. I always get it but it is not what I want the most. I want a child! I want a family! I have not gotten that yet I always get the strength to get through all the painful shit in my life. I have survived enough. Battled through enough. Hurt enough.
    My BF called me Saturday. We talked for over a half ...

    Friday, December 5, 2008

    Hi, I am so I don't know how to put it in words.  I don't know what to expect or what to do  about this fibro and lupus diagnose.  I feel so bad because my boys are finally at the age where I can really do things with them and half the time I don't feel good.  I don't know I guess I just need to learn to live with this awful stuff.  Thanks for reading.&nbs...

  • Something is wrong.

    Thursday, May 1, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    OK this is the third time in a few weeks that I have gotten sick to my stomach. I don't think it's the flu. I went out one night, ate mexican seafood and drank a wine that I have never heard of. I need to stop drinking, I know, but it was a fun night and I was really stressed. I hardly have fun anymore so I thought I deserved some fun. Now I have been sick for days. My doctor is...
