My sister is pg. From their first IUI. Which, of course I am happy for them.

But damn. She just announced to the world (she is 5.5 weeks along) and everyone is all " see, THIS is what happens when you pray real hard, congrats!" and someone else said "congrats you guys deserve this!"
Oh AND her hcg levels are "through the roof". So it MUST be twins.

She's been VERY vocal about this whole process. She has a blog. Posts about it on Facebook. And she has gotten a ton of support.
I'm much more private than she is. So I haven't gotten the same level of support, which is FINE. I'm just....feeling sad. And wondering we did or didn't do to deserve this too. And thinking maybe I should put more stock in prayer. Ughhhhhhhh

I'm so very sorry. You shouldn't have to hear that.

Personally, I can't stand it when people attribute good things to prayer. I think it's a big slap in the face to people who don't have those good things, or people who face tragedy. I hate it, to be honest, and I think it's a big lie

I'm sorry you're hurting.

(not wishing it on her, just asking) Will God be punishing her for her joy? It makes no sense.

There's another post on CEP right now that makes this point over and over: God does not give people pain or sorrow to punish them. God does not give people happiness to reward them.

(((Elsa))) I'm sorry you're hurting. Don't be afraid to post here if you're not feeling the support you need IRL.

Thank you. I needed to hear this tonight.

<3 thank you all.
