No I don't think she was harsh at all. I didn't see the whole post and what was said because the OP deleted her comments. From what I read, she was just being honest and got flack from the OP so she defended herself.
If there's no line, there's no line. Sometimes we get so engrossed in the process and trying desperately to see the line that our eyes play tricks on us. With that said, sometimes the camera just doesn't pick up the faint lines and it's just early.
WTT is a place where women want unconditional BFP's, whether it's real or not. If you go in there and try to tell the truth, then you're reported. That's why I avoided it like the plague when I was there, LOL.
On the WTT board, if you can't say that you can see a line, you might as well keep your mouth shut.
It's all about rainbows and butterflies (and "go get a beta, girl!") on that board.
Say ANYTHING else, and you're blasted for being "unsupportive".
I learned that lesson a long time ago. :/
A line is a line, if you don't see one then you don't see one. I have had people say they can't see a line when there is a definite one there and I think they are doing it to be mean. Oh well.
I think more people should say when they DON'T see a line. I stay away from the WTT board simply because I refuse to cheer people on when I don't see anything. What is the point in that? I am all about being supportive and positive but I don't want people to lie to me - why would I lie to them?
I think it is cruel to feed into it and give someone false hope...especially when we all know there isn't a line!
I'm guessing this thread came from the WTT board and was another of the "do you see a line" threads. If I am incorrect - disregard this comment. lol
Being realistic in the WTT board IS being harsh. That's not MY interpretation - that is the interpretation of everyone who goes there. They don't want truth (realism). They want butterflies and cookies.
So if realism isn't butterflies and cookies, then you are considered harsh with your responses.
If I'm not mistaken, people were making comments about her trying to get pg w/o her dh's knowledge if he was getting snipped, etc. Quite frankly, I'd be PISSED if someone said something like that to me. As far as being honest is there a line/not a line, I agree. If I don't see anything, I'm not going to lie and say I do just to sugarcoat things.
I don't think it was harsh, but then again, I don't know the whole story since all I see is what the blogger posts.
It turned into something the author didn't want it to be. She had posted a pic of her test @ DPO and said that it was a BFP and she's thrilled as her husband got a vasectomy that morning and it was their last "hope" I personally couldn't see the line in the picture. But I assumed that it was there IRL and it wasn't showing up on my monitor. Well all of a sudden, people started flaming her for having her DH go to his vasectomy appointment alone, accusing her of TTC behind husbands back, ect. Completely off topic and distasteful IMO. It turned into something much bigger than anyone though and she quietly disappeared after deleting all of her posts.
FWIW, there is now a NEW thread out in WTT asking for an update on her and people are now talking about the probability of getting a BFP at 6dpo, what to say when you do/don't see a line on a test, blah blah blah.
If you see a line, say you see a line! If you don't, then say you don't. People ask me for their opinions and I'll give it to them straight up.
I think people going off on her about something completely different was a little wrong. They attacked her and belittled her. I think this particular situation was a little harsh.
The comment itself was a mixture of harsh and realistic. I agree with everyone who says that you shouldn't lie if you don't see the line. However, as Pumpkin1006 pointed out, people were attacking this poor woman on totally different matters. I don't blame her for leaving. Unfortunately, when she deleted her original comment, people got really confused about what the original fight was about and assumed it was only about seeing a line (which it wasn't).
On a side note, I noticed that one of the women most vehemently defending the existence of a 6 dpo bfp was someone who is having fertility testing after only 4 months ttc (with one chemical) because - get this - it only took her 1 or 2 cycles to conceive all her other children. Unbelievable. I'm sure her insurance is pleased as punch to pay for testing after that amount of time.
Onto the topic at hand, i didnt see the POST on OT.
If I see NO line i will say :
Nope there's no line sorry maybe to soon.
I don't like it when other's comment to a post saying they see a line ,knowing darn good and well there's no 2nd line .
But everyone's correct when you go n WTT and you post your honest feelings , you will more and likely be bashed for your HONEST comment's !
I post my honest thought's no matter what , i figure they posted there ? for honest answers.... ya right LOL LOL
The part that cracks me up is where the OP says "there IS a line" and that she shouldn't have even bothered to post the pic.
If the OP saw a line, then why does she need to post the pic for the FF community to weigh in? Is the OP color blind? Does she usually see random pink lines?
Looks like the OP just wanted jumpy green men, and lots of "congrats." Nothing wrong with wanting congrats, but then the OP should have just posted that she got a BFP, and not asked everyone to analyze her "line."
WTT is full of ladies that love to see lines that aren't there, and give false motivation and support. Then when AF shows up, the same ladies can come back and say how sorry they are. I call it the "Yvette Syndrome" (no disrespect to Yvette, who is simply a pawn in their game).
~JenniferP (since there is another Jennifer that also posts here).
I have to agree with the concensus that if you don't see a line then be honest. False hope is harder to deal with than he truth in the end.
I did read that post but didn't respond for other reasons. The reasons being the number of times she gets a BFP at 4-6 DPO on different cycles. I'm not Dr. so I have no idea if it's possible or not. Just a thought.....
