TTC After a Loss

Weird Situation

I was at a picnic with a few friends the other night and one brought up my m/c - she asked how I was feeling and if we were trying again. 

I told her we were trying but really tried to divert the conversation back to other topics. But then a different friend of mine mentioned her m/c from a few years back.

She has mentioned it before and frankly I don't believe her. Having gone through it now (and yes I know that it is different for different people) and hers was supposedly earlier. But it doesn't really seem to fit. The way she talks about how it happened, when, where, and what she did in the days to follow...I simply don't believe her.

Would you say anything to her? In the end it doesn't really matter whether she had a m/c or not - but part of me, now that I've experienced one, feels like if she didn't and she is just lying about it for attention, or sympathy, or whatever she thinks she's gaining by saying it, it makes me angry.

 

TTC since July 2009 ^Rosemary^ May 7, 2010 Holding my rainbow, Beatrix, since August 21, 2012

Re: Weird Situation

  • No, I wouldn't say anything...She sucks if she is lying but what will you gain if you called her out and she is lying?  or what if she isn't and you called her out..imagine if the rolls were reversed and someone said you were lying?

    I know this sucks and it's hard and I'm sorry.  However, you do have someone now IRL that you can talk about m/c with..that I think you should talk a lot about it...if you are picking up what I'm putting down Wink

  • In case she really did, I wouldn't say anything. It's already hard enough when people pretend nothing happened, let alone if someone said they didn't believe you.

    I would just try to avoid the topic with her altogether.

  • Every woman is different, and that could just be the case.  I would definitely not say anything to her about it.  I would feel like it isn't any of my business, I mean what kind of person would lie about going through such an awful thing? If she did lie, she has to deal with it.

  • I don't really think there's any way you can say anything. It's not like you can come out and say "I think you're lying about having a m/c."

    Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  • I wouldn't bring it up, even if she is lying, it's not going to accomplish anything.. and if she's not, you're going to look like a very insensitive jerk :(
