I’m only a recent reader, but I think all those people SUCK!!! Who the hell are they? I’ve said it before and will say it again. I am so grateful for your openness.

I am very sorry you had to explain this very personal thing once more. It is YOUR life, YOUR decision to do what is best for YOU and YOUR child, fercrissake!
How can this honesty thing be a lesson children would be eager to learn when it obviously led you to a fine mess, dealing with crapola from strangers who want to impose their narrow views on everyone?
I do hope you are NOT going to talk about it any more. Not because I would not be interested to know what is going on with you, but because this is a private and very difficult personal matter that the crazy internet should not be privy to. And you cannot segregate crazy from non-crazy internauts. As long as Sprog is fine and you are fine, then everything is fine.
I hope the heartburn treats you more kindly and that you still drink lots of fluids. Stay well.

I’m so sorry that this is made harder by twats from the internets. Not that it matters, but I completely support any decision that YOU make in the best interests of YOUR family and hope that however that decision is made (CVS, viability whatever), it is made without too much pain and gives you peace. Looking forward to the regularly scheduled silliness, and hope that the nutters leave you on from now on …

Yeah. What you said. Your blog. You say want you want to and what you need to. I, for one, will be here following the journey…your journey. Whatever path that takes.

I’m so sorry for the situation you are in. Unfortunately, infertility treatments force us to go places and make decisions that no woman should have to make. I understand completely the shittiness of your situation, because I have walked in your shoes myself, with the shitty comments and all. I have commented here before, but it’s been awhile. Feel free to e-mail me if you want to know more. I too agree you are very brave to blog about any of this. Huge hugs to you!

I’m sorry people suck. If they don’t like what they’re reading they should just move on.

I have felt like there was an “elephant on the blog” for a while because the references went from two to one all of the sudden. And I am not saying that you should talk about it often or at all if you don’t want to. It is completely personal and I respect that. But I think that by putting it out there to begin with you sort of open the door for people’s curiosity. I am glad that you are at least touching on it again, if only to have some information out there to help someone else who is in the same position. Maybe they will feel less alone, less scrutinized. I would think that is why you brought it up in the first place. Otherwise you would have done what you once said- doctored the images and never spoke a word of it here.

I don’t think that you should be attacked for your decision because it is very obvious from what you have written that you absolutely did not take it lightly. I’m sorry that you have to deal with that on top of everything else. I hope that those with the nasty comments and emails disappear soon!

Thank you for being open and honest. That is why I like to read your blog

I am absolutely disgusted to know you are getting these comments from people. You did a brave thing to write about difficult decisions. I know you did it to help someone who has to make their own hard decision to not feel so absolutely alone and for that good deed you are badgered by people who have to spout off their own vitriol. Gah!

If I could, I’d install a special bitch-slap key on your keyboard. Wouldn’t that be awesome?

So “glad” you are still feeling heartburn! At least you know there’s life in there…I am so sorry you had such a scare with the u/s yesterday, it is a bit early for that external. I have to say that was a great moment when we could dispense with the wand!

I am just so honored to be allowed into your inner sanctum (blog) and I know you are heartily sick of discussing the reduction, but I want you to know it give me courage to do what I need to do (assuming I ever need to!). You are amazing, thanks.
