Ok so I am officially quitting the WebMD message board. They deleted yet another post of mine. This is getting ridiculous! All I was doing was lurking on the 2nd Tri boards to thank a particular board member who had posted over on 6+ about how she got pregnant after 2 years. Now she had never posted on that board before so it didn't really sit well with some of the other members (and I must admit at first I was definitely annoyed. Ok ok I still slightly am.) but as I read the responses she wrote to everyone (who were all right IMO) her message was all the same; positive thinking. So I decided to thank her personally for inspiring me cuz I really didn't think she'd come back to read the original thread. I just went back to check to see if she had responded and it was gone! Another member of 6+ posted to her on the 2nd Tri board and hers didn't get deleted. The same thing happened about a month ago when there was this big drama breakout and I was having a convo with another member who hadn't been around for a while. Well my original post got deleted so I posted another one giving her my myspace and e-mail so she could contact me. Well, WebMD (after they said to take anymore talk about the situation off the board) deleted my post. Um, hello, I was trying to take it off the board but you deleted my post attempting to do so. I don't understand why they seem to delete only my posts. It really has pissed me off so I don't think I am going to deal with that board anymore and I'll just stick to Babyzone.
I posted a goodbye on WebMD but I'm sure they'll delete that one too.

my first post got eaten...grr!
anyway, i'm so sorry webmd was so nasty to you...that's not fair at all. of course, i'm glad you're sticking to BZ. i was lurking on the 9mo+ board earlier and i'm contemplating posting over there too. i'm hesitant because it'd almost be like accepting how hard this has been. i don’t want to accept it…i want a baby! whatcha think...you gonna stick to the 'general' board or maybe switch over?
Hi Jenn,
I only saw your first post to Lexy and I wanted to say that I am really sorry WebMD was that mean too. If its any consolation they deleted my posts too and I have been posting there for years. First on the weight loss boards, briefly over a year ago on TTC and now on 2nd Trimester. Sigh... Sometimes I think the moderators lack basic logic.
Anyway, I was that one that took 5 years to conceive. I don't know if you had the opportunity to read my post before they deleted it but I wanted you to know that I am wishing the best for you. I hope it doesn't take you as long as it took me because I know how frustrating it is to wait and keep getting negative HPT's.
I just want you to know that you are supported and I am sprinkling baby dust your way and keeping you in my thoughts. I really want this to happen for you. You seem like a very well intentioned deserving person.
Take care of you and don't let the naysayers and negative people steal your joy.

Hello Sweet Jen. Regret that I missed your post to me on the 2nd tri board, but I want to thank you for posting it, and want you to know that some of the other ladies e-mailed me and told me about your post to me. Thank you again Jen for that, it means a lot to me, so please do not think that your positive efforts were in vain. Please, do not let any body on the boards at WebMd prevent you from posting and participating. However, I understand your decision to leave that particular board, like Joanne posted. I am a positive thinker, and I believe that we can visualize what we want in our lives. I started to do this about two and a half years ago, and it really works Jenn. There is a book and movie about positive thinking and visualizing called "The Secret". The book was on Oprah's fav. list for weeks, and to my surprise, yesterday when returning a movie I noticed the movie under new releases and rented it. While all of this negative thinking and ill will drama was going on about my positive post, I was watching this movie, and sadly thinking about the member who is so not practicing this simple task. No medicine in the world or treatment is going to work if we do not think positively and visualize what we want in our life. Jenn, I have been talking about positive thinking and visualization on the boards for about 3 months (since I joined), not ever have read the book, or seeing the movie. I have helped so many, and it all comes back to me in so many great ways. Watching the movie last night gave me so many affirmations, feelings of joy, and reassurance that my mind, body and soul are doing and saying the right things. On my post I got quoted for saying things that I did not even post!! Can I please ask you consider renting this movie to see for yourself what the power of positive thinking and visualization will do for you, and how it will help you attain what you want in your life. It talked at length about the physical body, and how we have the power to heal, and visualize what we want. It said that whenever there is something wrong with the body, it is caused by stress, and it is a sign to let us know that there is something not right with us at the time. It said to let doctors worry about whatever ails us, but for us not to empower that, or think about it, but rather visualize our body in health, and what we want our body to do to fix what ever may not be right. Then it moves on to other aspects in our life. Some examples are our jobs, relationships with people and our finances. With people it talked about how some people can focus on the bad aspects of their loved ones, and by doing so, it is only the bad behavior that they will receive from that person if bad behavior is what they are focusing on. So true Jenn. That is why I did not allow the negativity of the negative thinking person on the board to affect me one bit, but continued to shower her with well wishes only, and still do. Jenn, negativity, ill will, and ill intentions done on people of kindness and a negative attitude or unwillingness to accept kindness with gratitude, and positive thinking into one’s life, will prevent her and those around her to get what they want in their life. I am so sure of it, so that is why I think that getting off that board for now will only help you at this time. Sadly, I saw a lot of control issues from this person, and just negativity, and ill will. There is never a good excuse for bad behavior, never, and it will only go back to hurt the sender and those who chose to participate in ill will, or negative thinking. There are plenty of other outlets that will be more positive. Jenn, an example, someone very close in my circle, for the last 2 years that I tried to conceive would only tell me "I think that you are going to have a hard time". I never asked that person why she would say that to me. I just decided to get away from her negative thinking, and surround myself with any one who would positively think that I could do it, and any positive thoughts that they would give me I gladly accepted and with gratitude. Guess what, it worked, and I have yet to tell this person that I conceived, and that I am now 4 months pg. Similarly Jenn, I have been able to visualize what I want in my career. I always wanted to be in Sales in my field, and 3.5 years ago I attained that goal, just by thinking that I could do this, even though there were manager’s that would tell me otherwise. I never gave up hope that I would do this. Back then I did not really understand how much the power of positive thinking and visualizing was doing for me. It was the very beginning of my journey. Another example, after getting divorced at age 35, and having one other failed relationship after that, I decided to move far away from it all, and started visualizing and praying for the kind of man that I needed, wanted and deserved in my life. Not only did I find him, my soul mate, but he turned out just as I had imagined and even better! I have been able to positively visualize what I want in my life, and so can you, and anyone reading this post. It's all there for all of us, is just a matter of knowing how to reach for it, and the way to attain it is by the power of positive thinking and visualizing what we want in our lives. I am here to support you, and to once again thank you for your positive thinking, your kindness and heartfelt intentions. Please remember and know that no matter what your desires are in life if you think it, visualize it, and project it, you will soon get all that you want.
Best wishes, and Think and Be Well.

Hi again Jenn,
For some reason while I was creating the account to ppst to you it hid my 1st message and now it posted twice. Sorry, I only meant to post once! They are very similar. The last one has a couple of extra words, but thay are about the same.
Lexy Rose
I was NOTHING but kind. Nothing. I explained how comments like that can hurt our feelings.
So why is the person who did the hurt feelings continue to point a finger at me, the innocent one who just explained how that hurts many of us?
Think positively and it will happen. If she's been doing that for 2 1/2 years, why'd it take 2 YEARS to get pregnant? See the contradictions in the words?
I do think positively. I just have been ttc for 35 months and the "just relax" thing being annoying isn't something I pulled out of my ass. I don't walk around as a negative woman, but I am going to stick up for everyone when a rude comment is said to us. Just because "it's positive" doesn't mean we all have to smile and say thank you. Maybe people like you, Jenn, are a rainbow and puppydog person, but I'm not. I live in the real world. I guess I don't give a rat's ass about being liked either. She offended me, I told her. But I WAS NICE about it. But I read how rude she is about me here. Couldn't say it to my face, just all nicey nice. Yet says how nagative and ill willed I am. oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize she knew me. Didn't know how much I do for my friends and family. How much I care. Just because I didn't agree with her "just relax and it will happen" comment? I get THIS? And Jenn, thanks for publishing her bashing me. That was so super awesome of you.
Well, I can say for one that I'm glad I don't fall into Oprah's craziness of 'the secret'. If it made me act like THIS - very RUDE to anyone who believes in science, I best stay completely as far away from it as possible.
Nancy, I am definitely not a "puppy dogs and rainbows" person. I didn't realize you knew me. It's just that I have spent the last 23 years of my life being a sarcastic, pessimistic person and I figured, hey, why not try to be optimistic. It doesn't hurt to try. I'm not saying that it is going to be what gets me pregnant,(that would be unrealistic) but maybe it will make this journey a little easier. I know that positive thinking isn't going to make me ovulate. (Shit 50mg of Clomid can't even get me to do that). I know that I need a higher dosage or maybe more drugs to get me to ovulate. Positive thinking isn't going to do it alone. I am just going to try to not always see the negative side of things. (Especially with my husband being due to go back to Iraq in October. Don't need to think negatively about that). I as well live in the real world Nancy and I do know that I need the science part of life to get me the child I so desperately want, but, I'm just trying to do everything I can to make this journey, however long it may be, a little more pleasant for my husband and I. This doesn't mean I agree with the relax and it will happen comments (I get those alllll the time) because I don't. I know I can't just sit back and it will happen, but my point is I'm just to trying to make things easier on my self. I just hit the year mark and I know you know how hard that is.
And the 'thanks for publishing her bashing me'...is that sarcasm? It's hard to tell through words alone. And might I just add to remember that just like you, everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
Boy it sounds like some people cant take other peoples opinions even if they dont agree with it. But last i checked everyone is entitled to their own opinion. What works for some doesnt work for others. While relaxing may not be the key to getting pregnant it couldnt hurt to try to think positivly to make things easier on you.
Exactly and that is all I am trying to do. I'm just trying to deal with it. (Trying for a year with no baby that is.) I'm not saying that if I think it will happen it will. Believe me if it was that easy I'd have been pregnant a year ago. I know there is nothing I can do mentally to get PG but it couldn't hurt not to be so depressed about it.
And I do agree. Just because you don't agree with one person's opinion, it doesn't mean you need to mock them for what they believe. Especially on a public message board.
The person that posted to Nancy on WebMD never used the words "just relax" on her original post or in any of the replies. Nancy is obviously very bitter, delusional and lost. She will never get anywhere with her nasty views. Nancy you need therapy and a lot of help.
So I was just wondering how someone who has two kids can bitch so much. Seems just selfish to me. I bet positive thinking got those two kids. Or was it GOD. Or maybe science. Anyways it doesn't matter you have two children and should happy Well anyways if you believe in GOD you shouldn't believe in science cause science is wrong and has proven GOD wrong. But I believe everyone has a right to opinion and has a right to say it. But just remember what you say is not on a pedastool. Or served on a golden platter lined with diamonds. So don't act like what you say should be help and honored by everyone. Jenn good dpost by the way....Don't let the man knock you down.
