[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am the person who wrote the post that you found so offensive, so I felt like I should respond.  I respect your opinion, though I am bewildered at how aggressive your postings come across.  Having been through the infertility rollercoaster myself, I understand the range of emotions that you go through.  I hope that you can find success in your journey, and hopefully make peace with it at some point.  I know that is not easy.

I thought about my post before I hit the submit button, because I, too, noticed that the OP in the other thread had asked for success stories.  I have noticed that there are not that many people that have done transfers with day-6 embryos, so I always try to chime in to let people know that I got pregnant on a day-6 transfer.  Frankly, I wanted to give an honest and complete picture of my experience with day-6 transfers, since I've now done three of them and only one has worked.  For what it's worth, I've also been through a failed fresh IVF cycle and another failed FET, but with day-5 embryos. I did not include that information because it was not relevant to the OP's question, but it is very much part of my journey.  I always appreciate the range of opinions and stories that you can find on this board.  No two people have exactly the same journey, but I find it helpful to hear what other people have been through, because sometimes bits and pieces of their stories are relevant or helpful to me.  And for some people (myself included) there is theraputic value in sharing the good and difficult parts of your story.  Sure, the OP wanted to hear success stories (and I had one to share, which is why I posted), but why shouldn't I also share that I did not have success with a day-6 transfer?  If I was in the OP's shoes, I would want to know.

This board has been a great place of support for my through my infertility struggle and I have always appreciated that the women on this thread (unlike some of the others on DCUM) have generally been very kind and supportive.  Like I said before, I can understand your point and where you are coming from, but I think it is unfortunate that you feel the need to be so negative.  Please know that my post came from a place of support and honesty and nothing more or less.[/quote]

Well said. And to me - your story (1 successful and 2 failed FETs) is a success story. [/quote]
