Infertility

I work in a world of fertiles...

I swear there is always someone pregnant (or their wife) at our office! I had a feeling that our admin assistant was - she's tiny but has had a belly for a while - well, apparently she is pregnant. I never felt comfortable asking her. I swear I drink the same water and breathe the same air as they do!!

Pitty party over. ::kicks ovareis and ute::

Re: I work in a world of fertiles...

  • I was just thinking the same thing.  Out of 35 people in my office I am the only one without children.  Even the lesbians and their partners in my office have children.  I get asked at least once or twice a week when my DH and I will plan on having kids.  Sometimes I just un-leash on them and other times I just smile and say "we are working on it".  Never gets easier.

    Pitty party of 2!!!!

  • I know how you feel...  I was wondering about the woman who sits next to me when I first started (in Oct.) as I've got a pretty good prego detector.  Of course, she is, everyone is.  She's older than me, just got married, and doing the math I think got KU on her honeymoon.  Ugh!  Can't a girl catch a break!? ::pout::

  • I'm so sorry hon. If it makes you feel any better I did make the mistake of asking someone when they were due once and they weren't pregnant. The stupid things you say when you're 18. :(

  • I feel your pain Sad.

    I work at a center that provides free pregnancy testing on Tues and Thurs.  Soooooo many women and young girls (11, 12, 13) come in here and get a BFP.  Many don't even want to be pregnant.  It can be tough.

    Hang in there!

  • I know how you feel.  There are about 2 dozen people who work in my wing.  Since July, 4 of my female coworkers have had babies (July, October, November & just last week) & 1 coworker's wife is due in April.  Shoot me!

  • Same here! I am the only person that wasn't preg. last year. Well actually I was, but it resulted is M/C. So now I hear all of their stories...

    lovely!

  • :-(

    I hope it's your time soon.  It's hard, especially to be around that every day at work when you are trying to focus on your job.

     

    Surprise BFP after 5 yrs of TTC
  • Also, I'm a psychiatric social worker so don't even get me started on all the patients who are knocked up or have kids they can't take care of here!  One lady is a year older than me (31) & has had 12 pregnancies.  Antoher one is 19 & pregnant with her 3rd child.  Aaack!

  • Same thing in my office. The thing that kills me is the ratio of men to women is like 20:1 or something. And, yet still every time I turn around, I see a belly. This has been going on for the last 3 years or so. One woman is even on pregnancy #3 since DH & I started trying. *sigh*

    Not to mention that we have to have a baby announcement on the bulletin board in the break room with a pic of the baby for every baby. Currently, there are 6 baby pictures on the board. (They post pics of every baby, whether it's a dad that works here or a mom.)

  • I own a small business.  Every female of child bearing age who has ever worked in this office has had a child except for me since we have been TTC.  Including the girl who claimed had Stage IV endo and said she was IF but ended up getting pg her first month TTC.  Confused

  • I'm sorry. I know how much that sucks. I swear that I notice every single pregnant woman that crosses my path. :(
  • welcome to my office! I feel your pain.
  • Me too!

    I was helping out a separate dept. with their caseload the other day when someone asked me about kids....I said "Not yet", to which she replied "How old are you?"

    I had heard several times that this dept has some catty b!tches....thank God, mine is much nicer.
