The things people say....

in Infertility

Background:  I work in an internist doctor's office lab.  While we don't see very many women come through for pregnancy tests (thank goodness!), we do see them on occasion.  Today, we had one come in.  Coworker came and got the test and mentioned the lady was on fertility medication.  I felt her pain.  Another coworker said why would someone want to take fertility medication, why would you risk having multiple babies at once?!  You should just adopt kids if you have to do that.  That just really made me mad.  For one, just because you are on fertility meds doesn't mean you're going to be the next Jon & Kate + 8.  Second, some people just need a little help....why not try first before jumping into adoption?  Ugh!!  And this is coming from someone who has gotten pregnant twice and has aborted BOTH babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What is with some people?!?! 

 The pregnancy test was negative.

    That is so hurtful to even hear.  People have no idea of the things they say...

    Oh I had to bite my tongue a couple of weeks ago for something similar. A lady in my office was saying she didn't think that IUI was right (she is very conservative) because of multiples. Some ladies in the office were discussing this at lunch because of the Rasing Sextuplets show on WE. In actuality she didn't even know what IUI was and she herself had trouble getting pregnant. She always refers to her daughter as "a fertility medication baby."  People just don't think before they talk.  I had to correct her on her whole thinking. But it did take a bit for me not to hurt her. lol

    She's just clueless.  I'm sure she'd feel like a major idiot if she knew she was in the company of someone with IF issues.

    Stare daggers at the back of her head when she's not looking.
