    Please note that trying for four months =/= infertility

    Wow... IF does not know what colour your skin is. You might want to try googling the answer to a question like that before coming off as an ignorant yokel on a public message board. Because yes a question like that does come off as a wee bit racist.

    ETA: Good for you on goolging, but do it BEFORE you post next time. Save you some backlash and grief

    I was not saying that TTC for 4 months and not getting pregnant meant I have infertility issues. I made that comment referring to the OP saying that her Cuban friend got pregnant 2 times in a row like it was nothing. So if it was "nothing" for her Cuban friend to get pregnant then I, being Cuban, should've gotten pregnant the first month of trying....that's what I was trying to imply...

    I don't think the question itself was "bad", but some of the other ummm, gems that spewed from your keyboard are certainly cringe worthy.

     

     

    Yeah. I have no issue with the subject matter itself, but the manner it was presented left a lot to be desired.

     

     Yes, I agree with this. Do you realize that "spanish" means someone from the country of Spain? Not all spanish speaking people, (i.e. people from Cuba), are "spanish", they are hispanics. Not trying to sound mean but just make sure you get the terminology right or people will assume ignorance.

    LOVE this.

    ETA: ...ok. And really. I'm noticing this a lot - If you have to add "stupid question"...maybe you should ask yourself over and over if you should post it.

    ^That is cute lol. Also, the bolded, you took the words right out of my mouth. I have to add that I also hate when people have to start off a sentence with "Well I'm not racist, but..." Yeah, okay...

    That's all.
