[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all due respect to OP's grief this question has been asked over and over on this board. I understand that everyone has different levels of grief but please keep in mind that there are some of us still fighting for the first child, which would be a dream come true.[/quote]

It’s hardly a Pain Olympics. Why can’t she have her grief while you have yours without you diminishing it? [/quote]

What have I diminished? I simply stated that some of us are dreaming and working towards having even one child. Drama much? [/quote]

I'm not the PP who commented on Pain Olympics, but I really don't see the need for your comment in this particular thread.  OP sensitively recognized twice in the original message about the difference between a struggle for a first vs a second.  You knew what the thread was about going into it and could choose not to read.  I don't want to derail the thread, but just am feeling like your comment wasn't necessary.  OP has a right to post her question and get legitimate answers.[/quote]

And I feel your comment is not necessary. Luckily the freedom of speech is not based on feelings.[/quote]

Np. Your comment came across like “at least she got one, many are still waiting for their take home baby.” Someone with secondary infertility has their own personal struggle that is not dependent on at least she got her one. Your comment dimisjed her feelings of coping with coming to terms of only having one. OP titled her thread concerning secondary infertility and was sensitive to those struggling with their first. I’ve been on both sides of the coin, and one is not better than the other.

OP I’ve been down this road twice and it’s looking like dd may be an only. She asks for a little sister almost every day and it’s a painful reminder of our situation. We try to make the best of it as our family of 3.  Hugs to all.[/quote]
