Any parent who cannot understand the lengths people go to in order to have children leave me cold.<BR/><BR/>So, as imbecillic as these trolls are, it is confronting to know that there are people out there whose hearts are so hardened.<BR/><BR/>I am surprised that Anonymous gives a flying f*ck about third world countries - s/he doesn't care about the people living right in front of him/her.<BR/><BR/>I wish I was more eloquent but I just want to be counted among those who are willing to close ranks around those who have suffered the most indescribable of tragedies and find themselves struggling and weakened by it.<BR/><BR/>And of course, I am very sorry for the loss of your son.Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16390479974754816006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-29038429168181244062007-05-13T09:13:00.000-04:002007-05-13T09:13:00.000-04:00I could hardly believe the words I was reading whe...I could hardly believe the words I was reading when I read anonymous' comments.

That was the most inane, juvenile jumble of words I have ever read.

And if you do have the gall to do that, at least be willing to put your name to it. If you believe something strongly enough, have the guts to acknowledge that or stay the fuck off the blogs of those of us who do express our opinions with honesty, integrity and without anonymity.

Well, I guess I don't need to, but I need all the intervention in the world to carry a baby to term, so now it all seems a bit more sensible to me. <BR/><BR/>As for the name calling & accusations, well, that's hardly worth a response, but it does hurt to see it.

Just asking, you know...<BR/><BR/>I love it how we are supposed to shut up and take it and how our concerns are so small we should disregard them. Right. I had a fertility doc tell me PCOS has no cure and I will have to have IVF. I did my own research and guess what? It has no cure, but it can be managed, and I was able to manage it to the point where I have regular cycles and ability to get pregnant without interventions. Useless, all that time on the puter and at the library. Useless, I tell you. <BR/><BR/>Wonder how happy the trolls are in their actual lives that they have the need to go stomp on people who are down? I'd tell them to go pick on someone their own size, but that would mean only picking on small pathetic little trolls like themselves, and I understand how that would be no fun for them...Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745262857388007041noreply@blogger.com
