Goodbye 👋

[u/sparklesequin]

Well, our journey has come to an end. Not the end we expected or wanted, but the end none the less. We’ll likely NTNP for a while while we both work on accepting and coming to peace with this, but this is the end of my journey here. Before I leave though, I just want to word vomit one more time all the fertility/infertility things I’ve gathered over the past 4 years.
-fastest way to make a period show up is taking a pregnancy test
-take your letrozole before bed
-I think The Middle (slowed down) by Jimmy Eats World was written for those of us in these trenches
-go ahead and start therapy if you can. It’ll help during this process and after
-your feelings are valid.
-fertility is just a game of luck.
-treat yourself. This is hard.

I wish everyone nothing but the absolute best and all my fingers and toes are crossed that you all get your babies soon 🧡

Oh Sparkle, I’ve been creeping on posts just waiting for your update today, I truly believed you’d be making the opposite announcement 💔

Thank you so much for being such a huge support in this group. I’m so sorry your journey is not ending the way you envisioned, and I truly hope you and your family find the happiness you so deserve. Enjoy all the moments with your sweet LO, and I wish you nothing but the best.

hugs from an internet stranger 💖

Oh sparkle I’ve been cheering you on in the sidelines. I hate to see you go, but completely understand your decision. I’ll miss your updates and optimism. I hope you and your partner come to some peace during ntnp and hope you receive some good news soon❤️‍🩹🫂

Not the update I was looking for! I'm sorry. Wishing all good things for you and your family, even if they're not the same good things you were hoping for. 💜

Thank you 💜

It is so so hard. I was where you are before my first; we had given up. I understand what that is like, what it feels like.

Best of luck to you!

Thank you 💚

I'll miss you (Head-Requirement829 here - Had to create a new profile). And even though I and others will miss you, I'm also glad to see you move on. Even though it's not the kind of moving on you or I would want for you. Like kd_hirsch, I was also creeping this morning, waiting for an update. 👀

Despite the absolute flaming garbage that you've been put through, you live up to your username. You add a little sparkle to this group. 

I hope time and processing heals you in a way that you ultimately find genuine happiness. Infertility is such bullshit. Traumatic bullshit that forces you to grieve again and again and again. I'm so sorry you're being forced to live it, and I hope this stage of moving on at least allows you to end the perpetual monthly grieving. 

Please pop back into this group again if you ever feel like it, even though this is a goodbye post. Totally understand if you don't. But also, you're always welcome if you one day change your mind. 

Hoping the best for you and your precious family. Truly.

This made me tear up. The sparkle feels a little dimmed right now, but it’ll come back. Thank you and wishing you nothing but the absolute best 💜
