Ouch!

ZAngel · February 2009

One of my best friends from HS left me a message on FB today. The message was in regards to a funny situation about DH and me taking my temperature.

This made me laugh... I never took my temp to see if I was prego.. or could be. Then again, I never "tried" to have kids either.. both of them just happened... I'm full of win! *laugh*

I know she isn't trying to be mean because she really is a good person. She doesn't really know what we are going through but wow, it took everything in my power not to tell her to go jump off of a bridge. That comment made me feel like $hit!

My potential replies would be as follows:

A) Good for you!

Wow, that was soooo helpful!

C) Thanks for pointing that out for me.

D) F* off!

Ouch! That stings! Sorry to hear that!

After receiving a few comments like these I've decided to stop telling people what DH and I are doing to TTC.

I guess most people don't realize that everyone can't just "have sex and get KU". I probably should stop telling people that were are trying because some of the things I have heard really don't help. I haven't responded to her...and I probably never will.

I was a bit sad when I realized some of our friends couldn't understand why we were charting. They think I'm obsessing and that we should just "relax and have fun." Even if that statement it true, it still hate hearing it! Even if friends didn't say anything, it was obvious from the conversation that they couldn't relate to anything that I was saying.

So if you want to talk about your chart you can definately page me!

Thank you so much Hula! This place really has been a life saver. No where else could I find so many friendly people that understand and don't mind if I talk their ears off about ovulation and charting.

Im sorry. I would of told her to jump off a bridge!

That is pretty harsh. Some people just don't understand how their words are hurtful. You may just want to keep some of the more detailed information between you and other people who are more unerstanding. Good Luck with your charting and temp. monitoring.

Ugh. That is such an ignorant and hurtful post, especially since she knows that you have been trying for a while. I wouldn't respond to that--and I probably wouldn't talk to her going forward.

ZAngel · February 2009

She is currently pregnant so I think that factor might have made her comment sting even more. I won't let this end our friendship but when I calm down, I will let her know that what she said really hurt me. I probably won't talk to her about TTC anymore.
