I AM BACK!!

Hello my blogger friends!!  I can't believe it has been 2 months since my last post.  I needed time away from TTC and blogs.  The break has done me well...but I hope I still have some readers left.

Last time we "talked" I told you about our negative beta for our second IVF cycle.  I planned on doing an FET in January....things have changed after speaking with my RE.    

I have decided to make a new blog for this journey but it is going to be private mostly because I don't want anyone that knows me IRL to accidentally stumble upon it.  I will keep this blog public so people can use it as a reference if they are going through an IUI or IVF.  So if you would like to follow the new blog leave a comment with your e-mail address, or send me an e-mail with your e-mail address dreamsofababy@hotmail.com so that I can send you an invitation.  Also leave me your blog (if you have one) so that I can follow you too.

Looking forward to hearing from you and catching up on all of your blogs!  


*Does anyone know how to make sure that my blog posts show up on the blogger dashboard now that I am "private"?

SO good to hear from you Jess! I completely understand going private. I've thought about it many times.

I will most certainly email you, I'd love to continue to follow your journey - I've been thinking of you a lot.

*I don't think there is an option yet to make the private blogs show up on your dash - isn't that dumb???

I agree with Melissa - there's no way to make private posts show up in a reader. :(

I'd love to continue following you! I understand the "private" thing... Sometimes I wish mine was still private...

You can't have your posts show up in dashboards at all when you're private. Apparently Blogger has been "working" on this but it's been a while and I don't see that changing anytime soon. When I was private, I created a Google group for my blog and then set it up so that every time I posted, posts would be emailed to anyone who signed up for an email subscription...

Yay! glad you are back!

Welcome Back Sweetie!! I want to be on that private list!

baby.wanted@ymail.com

My suggestion is to make two blogs, one that is private and the other one that isn't and all you have to post is: New Blog Post and it will be our cue to go check out the private one.

I have been following your blog but have never left a comment. My husband and I have 1 child through IVF. Our 1st try we were cancelled and the second try was looking bleak, after all the meds I only produced 1 egg. Prior to the invitro we had 6 iuf procedures done. All negative. don't give up hope, Look at each try as a fresh start. Miracles do happen. When our son was 10 months old we were getting ready to cycle again...god decided to give us a break and 9 months later our daughter was born. I would like to follow your story but if not good luck. My e-mail is dsanders@wcgwave.ca Tracy

I DEFINITELY understand the going private-scared of people IRL finding your SUPER raw, personal info. My blog is private BECAUSE of a SIL who stumbled upon and learned of our top secret FET a few years back.
As for the posts showing up, I have no idea. I know lots of my readers say they don't see me on their feed board and so they have to come visit to check for updates. If you find out the answer let me know!
