  #206

Oh, Ana... I can't believe it!... I don't know what to say, I was so sure you would!

I am praying for you at this tough time. Take deep breaths, take care.

Tell me if you want me to call you, if there's any way I can help you.

Kisses and hugs for now.

Ana - its not over yet. We can't give up after only one defeat. First we scramble, then we see what happens. We will have to wait and see what the universe has in store for you. Right now I think the universe wants you to scramble. Then we can work out a Plan B. No matter what, you have to have your baby soon, so maybe the universe is trying to make a little space in your life for the new baby.

If you are crying, you should know that I'm crying along with you. I really wanted this for you, and I still believe it will happen. Un beso.

Hi Ana, this must be a very difficult time for you and dissapointing too. You have the rest of the day to feel bad and get it out of your system, but you have to pull your self together in time for tomorrow's battle. You are not allowed to give up yet cos its not over till its over and you have all the moms here rooting for you and praying for you as well. All the best tomorrow.
May you find your dream spot.

PS - I will go ahead and celebrate anyway. I will celebrate that you are strong enough to dream big (because we knew it would be hard to get), to survive adversity and to keep on trying. I will celebrate that you will be an OB who is passionate enough about her work to resist a few punches. I will celebrate that your new baby may get to have her mommy at home for her first year, instead of having to spend her first year in daycare, drinking formula, and being alone every 4 or 5 nights. I will celebrate that your older daughter will get one more year with you, too, especially as she transitions from being an only child into being an older sister.

sorry ana...
match isn't over until thursday... there are a lot of unfilled positions left to scoop up... over 1200 nation-wide... but if i am not mistaken you are in NY - over 350 unfilled in the northeast...
although scramble is frustrating its still worth a try... good luck!!!

grin I will still celebrate for you guys... because I am very lucky to have you cheering me up !
thank you

  #212

Hey ana....you go girl and prepare for tomorrow. Its not over and it can never be. Once you have gone to med school, its never over. So lets get done with it and we will cheer for you and pray for you.

All the best with all my heart

Dear Ana

My heart goes out for you, though I matched but I felt bad to see your post. Ana, please hang on...Just pray and gather yourself for the scramble.

I wish you luck for the scramble and pray that you get the position .

God bless you ....


  #214

Dear Ana,

When I was so frustrated after IVs your posts gave me hope. You are so strong. This is not over yet. You have many more chances and you are a stong lady. You will do it tomorrow

congrats taurus.... I am happy to hear this from you.. in about 2 hours I will start teh scramble, MOMS I need the power! please keep me in your prayers.... I was out of my mind and I email all the PD last night asking them for feed back from the IV with me and any advice, and the least expected answered back and said that he would have given me the position right away, but the committee that chooses the people decided that they didn't know how good a clinician could I be and they ranked me in the prelim position. (he said they ranked me second!) can you imagine? I am so sad... but anyway he also said to cramble a surgery position and so I will try that, maybe next year they wont have any doubt about me...
pray for me moms.
luv you.

hi mommas! I'm so sorry I was MIA, I had so much going on with the Ivs and my baby (who is 7 months old ) and I just forgot about how frustrating it was to not spend much time with her while studying and Ivs so now I'm devoted to her! Thanks God I matched! (and so my hubby, we applied in couples...) but to the moms who didnt match please let me tell you something: I wasnt sure I would match at all, I had so many doubts and was bitting my nails as well... but then I realized... we are different from the other people applying... for us to spend another year out of residency is not that bad... we can enjoy another year very close to our children and it wont be lost time AT ALL... specially Ana: I really hope you can get what you want in the scramble... but if not, get this as another year God is giving you to enjoy your newborn and be more ready next year... I'm still panicking on how I'll manage a 1 yr old an a residency, but if God put me here he'll guide me through!
Arlete: good luck next year!!! If I were a PD, I wouldnt think it twice to get you smiling face
Chiqui: I'm soooo happy you got what you wanted!! And hope your baby is feeling much better now... I laughed so hard on the hens and the cows legs... thats our country!! And it was so nice meeting you! I got so excited that day!
Good luck to all of us and feel free to PM me if you need an advise or whatever... though chiqui and arlete are doing a great job here! smiling face

thanks for the prayers girls... apparently it was not my time.
I guess I will be seeing you when I feel little better

my boss just told me that if I had match we probably would not have this conversation but since I didn't she had to tell me that she has no more money for my project after june.

OMG everything at the same time.
