Trying to Get Pregnant

Newest SIL Saga

As you may remember, SIL is pregnant with her third. In-laws have NO concept of what it's like to have any problems getting pregnant because the longest it's ever taken was 3 months for them. Without realizing it, they make rude comments to me ALL THE TIME about not being able to get pregnant so I've gotten to the point where I just try to avoid them. DH just spent some time with them and explained very clearly that they need to stop because it's hurtful to me and getting to be a sensitive topic.
So yesterday I find out that I didn't ovulate, with Clomid, again. I come over to the in-laws today to see the kids in their costumes. (DH convinced me that they would be more sensitive after his talk.) I walk in and SIL gives me 1. "What to expect when you're expecting" 2. "The New Father" and 3. a baby brag book. She smiles and says, "It's for when... well... you know, you do get pregnant in the future."
Any way to just cut her out of my life for a while? Can you do that with an in-law? I'm getting really sick of this and every unsuccessful month I just get more annoyed. I know she's never been there so she doesn't understand but I've never had cancer and I can still be empathetic to my mom. I don't buy her shampoo for "when her hair grows back". ARGH!
End vent.

Re: Newest SIL Saga
(((HUGS))) I feel your pain. I don't ovulate, either...we've been trying for 4 months so I can only imagine what it's like not ovulating with Clomid.
But, I always tell people "I don't have eggs. You can't bake a cake without eggs." It's kinda funny the embarrassed look on their face, plus it shuts them up. I'm always a fan of calling people out (in front of others if possible). After all, they embarrass you and put you on the spot, right? Do this, and she may just write YOU off for a little while. LOL.
More (((HUGS))) and I hope your saga will be overwith soon!

I agree! If she thinks it's okay to do that to you, I would do it right back! Give her a taste of her own medicine!
Sounds like you are having a rough day. Between not O'ing and your IL's. It is a shame some people just can't mind their own damn business. Sorry that you are going through this!
Best of luck with ovulating next cycle. I would totally avoid them for the next month or so. Make it obvious and maybe they will get the point? That is what I do.
WTF?? I avoided dresses that looked like ones any family have worn. What a biatch!!!

Seriously! She's crazy! She was in my wedding so the whole, "Oh, I never even realized it could be the same dress" was BULL BUTTER!
