You know what comment is really starting to bug me

Oh so and so did an IVF and then got pg..and then a couple years later got pg on their own. Wow. really. Good for them. I want to yell and say..."That will NEVER happen to me!!!!!!!!!

I know that sounds really immature of me and I know people have had success on their own after ART. It shouldn't just be assumed that everyone will have that ability. That comment makes me feel like a crazy person..it's like saying...relax..it will happen!

I HATE when people share IVF stories with me!! I DON'T CARE about your co-workers ex fiance's cousin's sister!!

Comments like that bug me too. I think a lot of people say that to be supportive, but they just don't know how it feels to hear it. I try to focus on the sentiment, not the words. Though it's still sucky to hear that stuff.

I hate that comment too.  The one I've been getting lately is the "so and so adopted and then got pregnant afterwards".

it's really just a thinly veiled way of saying "stop trying so hard and you'll get pregnant"

i understand that a lot of tiems people just don't know what to say.  they really do think they are being nice and supportive. ... i try to remember that when people say things like that, i smile and then change the subject.  it is pretty  infuriating though

I am right there with you. I have told a few people that while it's great that their friends were successful on their own, that will never happen for DH and I.

That bugs the hell out of me.

It's just like people who tell you about so and so who adopted and then bam.

Grrrrrrrr

It bugs me too - fortunately, I've only had to be exposed to it online and not in person.

The one I've gotten in person that bugs the crap out of me is "At least you'll never need BC again."

1) It would be nice to have to pay for BC for the rest of our lives and not have had to pay for TESE + IVF/PGD, failed twice, have to make the decision to move to D-IUI and all that jazz.  2) I'll probably go back on BC anyway, I was on an extended cycle med and I liked it (why have periods when we aren't TTCing anyway?).  3) Due to my carrier status, it would be bad to get PG naturally so the azoo is a "good" thing.

So it stings just a little extra.

I've gotten the whole "start the adoption process and then you'll get pregnant." Wow...didn't know filling out paperwork would cause my LPD to correct itself and my hubby to suddenly have sperm.
