thanks and you too

Perhaps, maybe, i dont know how i will feel, no actually i think i will be the type thats wants to share my journey no matter how hard it has been just because i like to give people hope, just because someones story might mirror my own....suppose each to their own. i just hope there are some people out there who have had a hard journey who are willing to share it with us, its truley inspirrational to read of success after years of trying.... i think so anyway

i think its because atm im the only one on here having a certain type of IVF.. nobody like me at all. i have found no1 like me with any type of sucsess..

Well you can be the first to write about your success on the success thread!! The first person to tell a story like yours to happily write about your journey and perhaps help someone else in the future searchign the internet for stories of hope who DO have a situation like yours x

Posted on wrong thread DOh - deleted

I have looked in this thread on a few occasions now but chose not to post simply because of the title ... I haven't had a positive outcome from either of my IVF cycles yet. The early MC from the first isn't counted as a success in the eyes of the HFEA, so I'm not counting it as a success either.

I don't know if a success thread would be the best option. Let's face it - not every cycle is a positive and successful experience, and giving what could potentially be false hope to people reading it, could be counter productive. I'm more of a 'warts-and-all' kind of girl, so want to read about the negatives and worst case scenarios as well ...

Hope that makes sense.

Oh, and I forgot to add that from my own point of view - I've been part of the LTTTC forum for what feels like an eternity now, and I don't come on as often as I used to. That is mainly due to me not being able to learn anything new, and also because when I am feeling down, depressed, fed up, or whatever, I'm not the right person to be giving people advice.

It's not because I don't care about others and their difficulties, but more so because I do care and don't want to drag them down with me.

Hi Maz

On many forums there are success threads, where people simply post a few paragraphs of their story when they finally have their success. For me and I think many others they are truley inspirational especially when in that long 2ww where your mind and body plays tricks on you, am i, arnt i, negative, positive, sometimes its just nice to read how others felt the same and have similiar stories to you and that may have failed first time, second time, but eventually got a positive. It helps some people not give up which people do fel like doing after an infertility treatment failure, its can inspire us to be strong and continue and realise we are not the only ones in such a sad situation. It also stops helps to remove the "woe me" attitude that can develop as we are all probably guilty of that on occasions being negative and thinking nothing will work, just reading a couple of success stories can rid us of that and give us some positivity and hope again.

Tanya and I have asked the mods if we can have a seperate section like on other forums, perhaps to have seperate threads withi the section for IVF success, ICSI success, success perhaps after miscarriage etc etc. We are awaiting their response

maybe acctually do a poll and ask all of LTTTC if theyd like one first as if one is made and not used its gone 2 waste.. Im sure mods will agree one will only be made if people really want one and will use it.

Perhaps but why would anyone who has been trying to concieve for a long timenot want to see success stories from others who were in the same boat as them........ i fell like giving in on this one
