Readi...Hi there I found your blog through Shannon. Reading your post is like looking in a mirror! I find myself thinking and saying the same things everyday! Dont' feel bad for having a bad day - it is impossible to be happy all of the time - especially going through infertility. Hang in there! I hope to get comments from you!!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15637760255341698077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-311509840750421297.post-37680770604027211942009-01-04T17:26:00.000-08:002009-01-04T17:26:00.000-08:00This was a very moving post, Tab.

I know that, for me, it was very hard to remain positive all of the time even though I really, really wanted to be, but like you said, we're only human and can't help the way we feel sometimes. Even though I didn't ask for it, IF made me a stronger, more understanding person than I ever thought I could be. I wish it didn't take that to prove it to myself, but it definitely did. I will continue to keep you in my prayers and may this year bring you the baby you have been praying for.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107392746334641930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-311509840750421297.post-61855845912711190562009-01-02T06:34:00.000-08:002009-01-02T06:34:00.000-08:00Thanks for commenting on my blog!!

I love how honest and real you are but also how positive you are about things. I read your post tonight and so much of it resonates with how I am feeling right now.

I...I totally understand where you are coming from. I have had that same positive attitude for the first 2 years of TTC without success. But when my 30th birthday hit I went through several months of feeling very down and sad. That is how I ended up blogging; as a way to get out my feelings and sort things through. And I felt really bad about my posts because they were not reflecting the positive person that I normally am but instead the sadness that I could not shake when I hit a few infertility milestones.<BR/><BR/>What I learned from it though is that it’s better to let out that sadness than keep it in. Acknowledge it, name it and then give it over to God. He has been so faithful to heal me and bring me out of it. And it hasn’t just been through His word but people that He has brought into my life. By being open with my support system of family and friends they, literally, engulfed me with prayer. And by being open on my blog I’ve had so many wonderful bloggy friends that also helped to pull me out of my sadness and encouraged me. Some, simply by being honest about where they were at (which is what you are doing)! By doing this God has revealed so much to me just in the past month alone. Even though this past month was another bust I truly have never been happier and I could not have said that a month ago. So go ahead, let it out! Be open and be ready for what God has in store to show you too!Mrs. Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987757347063640562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-311509840750421297.post-375913096930051182009-01-01T07:58:00.000-08:002009-01-01T07:58:00.000-08:00I loved your post.

It's okay to say what you said though, because when another disappointment comes along your way you are sad, mad, angry for a time. But then you move on. That has been my goal through each of my 3 failed IUIs. We can move on because of the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Thank you for this post and I pray 2009 is another year of God teaching you truths about Himself and the year you welcome your baby!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05462893038996733702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-311509840750421297.post-50475517516083067192009-01-01T07:46:00.000-08:002009-01-01T07:46:00.000-08:00Oh hun... huge hugs.

IF breaks you down and will bring you to your knees. It will shake everything you thought was true. But, honestly when your day comes, I promise you that you will look back and be amazed at the strength you really have. IF will change you in so many ways. Some days it will make you bitter, angry and just downright nasty. But the changes it makes to your spirit will be evident for a long time later. It will make you grow as a person. Feel what you feel right now. It is part of the process. Allow yourself to kick, scream cry etc. IF sucks and you are allowed to be pissed at it. I am praying that this ends for you very soon and you get that baby you have been praying for....lots of luck!Melymel80https://www.blogger.com/profile/12241068083004869986noreply@blogger.com
