I found a link to your blog on one of ...Hi Kasey, <br /><br />I found a link to your blog on one of the online message boards I frequent and I wanted to say hello. My name is Nikki, I'm 32 years old and live in Maryland with my husband Brian. We also suffer from infertility and we've been going to Shady Grove Fertility Center (not sure if you have those where you live?) - we are hoping to attempt our first IUI in the next few weeks. Like you, I'm also a 911 dispatcher... I just started my 13th year back in April. The area that I live in does not have paid fire department, it is an all volunteer system, so I volunteer as a Paramedic. I'd love to get to know you better. If you have a chance, e-mail me sometime: life911saver@yahoo.com<br /><br />Hope to hear from you!

I think when I voiced my opinions in the open about not liking baby showers they thought I was saying I wasn't happy for them. I don't know I use my blog to release my emotion and all the jumbled up thoughts - it's my therapy. Somedays are good days and some are bad. Thanks for your insight :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257674420881990140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025966614018196157.post-75283368952310031562013-07-11T16:59:39.976-07:002013-07-11T16:59:39.976-07:00Sorry to hear the negative cycle confirmed. One c...Sorry to hear the negative cycle confirmed. One can be more or less prepared but never totally prepared. Hope the news gets better soon!<br />Anyway, re: offending people I haven't read much of your blog, but speaking for myself at least I've yet to read anything from the ALI community that offended me. Although I don't offend particularly easily anyway. But I would hazard that most people understand where another blogger is coming from, even if she is in a different place. I know I'm not bitter and angry all the time, but some days? Hell yah. So I get that, even if I'm not necessarily sharing the emotion in the moment. Of course it's always possible to take self-expression too far, but in general I would prefer people to be truthful about what they are thinking and feeling because I think that's more helpful (and interesting). <br /><br />As for people reading who are not IF, well, yah maybe they could be offended by something they read on someone's blog....but on the other hand they can also find lots of other info online to help understand our perspective. I keep a list of "helpful links" on the menu of my blog that any random readers can access if they want to know more about the things I am writing about. If they can't be bothered to do that, I can't be really bothered by their opinions.<br /><br />I don't know if that's helpful, but I do hope you don't lose any sleep over it! xotorthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025966614018196157.post-33119577677269422542013-07-11T09:53:33.742-07:002013-07-11T09:53:33.742-07:00Thanks :) Looking forward to following yours as we...Thanks :) Looking forward to following yours as well!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257674420881990140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025966614018196157.post-89866350011703670152013-07-11T09:07:44.245-07:002013-07-11T09:07:44.245-07:00Goodness, thinking about you!!!!

And apparently inadvertently I have. I'm gonna focus more of positive things and less of the negative feelings.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257674420881990140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025966614018196157.post-77896495841057885442013-07-09T14:36:48.567-07:002013-07-09T14:36:48.567-07:00Oh Kasey, my heart hurts for you. Even though you ...Oh Kasey, my heart hurts for you. Even though you figured that you were out this cycle, it still sucks. I'm so sorry.<br /><br />I struggle with the same feelings of sadness and bitterness. I'm jealous of my friends who are pregnant or have kids. It doesn't mean I'm not happy for them, it just hurts that it doesn't seem to be happening for me. I just want you to know that you are so not alone in those feelings. Sending you a hug! Keep writing here, it's your safe place to try to figure out your feelings.<br /><br />Hang in there, I know how much this all sucks. I have to believe that one day it will be better! For both of us.<br /><br />Kristinekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09142041980428671413noreply@blogger.com
