TTC After a Loss

Questions you hate to be asked or things you hate being told.

1. Are you trying again yet?

2. Are you pregnant again? ( Hello, this is only our 2nd cycle post-loss)

3. At least you can get pregnant ( wow, thanks, I would like to be able to carry a baby to term also)

Feel free to add some more...

Re: Questions you hate to be asked or things you hate being told.

  • "I have news..." - always seems to be followed with "I am pregnant", "I am due xxx", "xxx is going to be a big brother / sister". 
  • Loading the player...
  • maybe your body just isn't ready yet...give it time. 

     

  • OOoh I thought of some more...

    You're so young, you have plenty of time

    Just enjoy your time with your husband, babies will come later.

    Stop stressing out, and it will happen---I just wish it was that easy!

  • 1. Do you have any children?

    2. Why don't you have any children?/Don't you want children?

    3. God won't give you more than you can handle.

    4. Shouldn't you be over this by now?

  • I absolutely HATE being told, "It just wasn't meant to be."  Or, "It'll happen when the time is right."

    Easy for you to say....

  • "You probably need to gain weight"  As said by my aunt last week, even though I have recently gained weight.

    When people tell me about someone being pregnant (especially if they're on their 2nd, 3rd, etc.) and act like it shouldn't bother me.

  • 1. So, when do you think, you know, *insert motion over belly here* - ugh

    2. What's taking so long?! Have you seen a Dr? - those who know we were going to start TTC in July, that do not know about the mc

    3. Guess who is prego?! - yeah, guess who isn't ?!

  • "Guess what, I just saw xxx, you should have seen her, she looked so cute.  Her baby bump ::makes motion of baby bump:: so cute."

    xxx's due date is 3 days after what mine would have been.  One of my BFFs said that to me.  I thought it was weird.  Am I weird for thinking it was weird?

  • When are you going to have kids? (By people that don't know about the m/c)

    Oh, you're so young! You have plenty of time. (By people that do know about the m/c)

  • "What are you doing?" asked by DH when he knows very well that I am bumping... again...  MYOB!

    Lately it's been "when are you guys having kids". and "how cool would it be if we were pregnant at the same time!" In my head I'm thinking, if you get ku before me I'm going to loose it!
    BFP#1 missed m/c-d&c 10/27/08, BFP#2 BO-natural m/c 5/15/09, BFP#3 8/12/09-DS born 4/2010, BFP#4=TWINS-missed m/c&d/c 6/15/11, BFP#4 11/22/11- please stay with me
  • "it will happen" (um, really? how do they know?) or even worse "it will happen when you guys stop trying" - that one is really the worst. I'm pretty sure after 2 years of trying and having to move on to IUI that it's not just going to spontaneously happen because we decide to "give up" - and if it does, it's not like it's my fault it hasn't happened for the last 2 years!!!

    Ditto! Some friends of ours just told us that they're going to try to get KU in the fall (read: September) so it will be due at the end of school and she can have the whole summer off. Although I don't want them to go through trouble like we have, I will sh*t my pants if I'm not pregnant by then.

  • I hate being told how to get pregnant!!!

  • I actually had my husband's bosses wife ask me, "Don't you want to have kids?  I though you were a good Catholic girl.  Don't you want a big family?" recently.  It was wrong on soo many levels!  But considering who she was, I couldn't say anything!

  • I hate # 3

    4. Just relax don't obsses about it.

    5. It will happen when your time is right

    MY BF who had an M/C before was the only one who said what I needed to hear. She said this sucks. The M/C sucks, waiting to get pregnant again sucks, and then worring if another M/C will happen again sucks, but I will be here for you and will help you get through it.  That is what should be said.

  • "So, what's going on? Are ya'll trying or what?" by someone who didn't know about the m/c while I was at her baby shower. I just looked at her and said, "I had a miscarriage in October. I would be due right after you."

  • My friend, who I try to avoid lately anyway, asked me AGAIN 'How the baby making is going'. GAH. She knows we've been trying for over a year, and she knows I have had a mc.  I don't understand how she doesn't realize how much her effing question stings.  DUH!!! It's NOT going well!
