fielding ridic questions frm coworkers..wtf..

in Infertility

I've only recently embarked on the TTTC journey..to start I had to ask for a day off for our first RE appointment on the 7th, then just had my dye test done friday(another day off)..and literally every male at my office seems to think it's totally appropriate to ask why i was gone, and what i was gone for...these are people at work who have NO business asking where i was and what i was doing.. it's really irritating!!  so one person says, "oh, heard you had a doctor's appointment, that's why you were gone.. what was it for??" can you believe these people??!! so i said " no appointment, just had the day off"..to which he replied "oh, that's not what, so-and-so said.." so-and-so is the other doctor that had to fill in for me on friday..

the truley annoying thing part, is that I have to fill out a form to take a day off. and i had to ask for the day off for friday on that monday, so I had to explain that I had a medical procedure to do..this info went to the scheduling person, who then had to get the other doc to fill in for me, and she apparently found it necessary to tell him my business!!

WTF!!

    I would talk to the scheduling person asap so this doesnt happen again. Once you call him or her on it, there shouldnt be any more problems.

    For some reason people seem to think they can ask, and discuss, personal information and lay their lives out to the world. I blame it on Facebook ;)

    I guess you're just going to have to come up with a standard response like, "I had a dr's appointment, and it's personal."

    I'm so sorry. I would really think about saying something to the scheduling person about confidentiality. It's completely wrong to go around telling coworkers your business. (((hugs)))

    I get this at work sometimes too...seriously, people need to mind their own business. I actually had a coworker point out the bruise on my hand after my d&c and say it was obviously from an IV. No sh!t, but if I wanted you to know about it I would have told you. People are nosy b!tches sometimes, huh?
