therapy d'oh

QCinOct

had my monthly appt with my therapist this a.m. She said to me 'Tons of women get pg naturally when they start medical interventions or adoption' because they're finally allowing it into their life. I told her it doesn't really work that way.

Ugh...you'd think trained professionals would know better?!? 

I'm seeing a therapist specifically trained in IF-related issues and she STILL likes to remind me that "at least you know you can get pregnant."

LOL.

Tell her that, at least in the adoption world, only 8% of women who adopt get pregnant after adoption. So there.

And how does she think that saying that would help?

Yogi just asked for the study that # came from on TTTC, and epphd gave it to her. I bet if you page her she can send it along.

My therapist had the nerve to say crap like that too. I set him straight and hopefully it got through his head. Therapists really need training in IF because they seem to have no clue.
