TTC After a Loss 6 Months+
Vent - Called a bad IVFer (long)
Let me preface this by saying I KNOW I sound pathetically uninformed... but this is how I choose to manage the stress.
When we couldn't get preg, I became a wealth of fertility knowledge. When we had identical twins, I could rattle off statistics till you're brain went numb... and with each loss, my need to find the research and 'understand' what happened got worse.
I'm done.
I don't know what happened to the calm, competent, research-driven person but she left and replacing her is someone with the emotional calm of Janice Dickenson.
Now I'm practically on a 'need to know' basis and only responsible for what I HAVE to do. We went to our shots class yesterday. I told DH in advance he was responsible for doing the shots, mixing the meds, dosage - EVERYTHING. I'll just lay there and get jabbed.
Stupid biitch couple in the class with us whispered the whole DAMN time about how uninvoled I was in the process and how I must not want a baby that badly because DH was the one using the test needles for the practice shot.
Stupid whore...

What a B!!
I don't get how that person thought it was OK to talk about a stranger and their personal situation. People are JERKS!
I would have turned around and told her off.
Stupid biitch whore. How dare she.
I bet her baby will be ugly.
There is a popular cliche being thrown around today. I don't know it word for word but it goes something like this: Be kinder than necessary because you never know what someone else is going through. I'll take up a collection to have this tattooed on the b!tch couples eyelids.
I had a similar experience during the FU visit with my RE after I had already been told I was losing my last baby. The nurses and other patients just couldn't understand why I wasn't all smiling and chatty. I try really hard not to make assumptions about other people. I only wish your "classmates" had done the same.
PAL/PGAL Welcome
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle!

No way in hell they're actually going to even get the baby.
They SUCKED ASS at doing the shots... Seriously! They were the remedial couple that made the class last twice as long because the nurse kept having to go over and over and over the instructions with them.
And IVF is such a shiity process... I actually feel bad for them because I honestly feel like they will screw up the shots and not get a baby... and that sucks no matter how shiity a person you are.
One thing I learned during the whole IF process was you never know what other people are going through so I just keep my mouth shut. She should follow that same rule.
I'm sorry she was an a$$hat. You don't need that. And FWIW, I was in such denial that I never went to the shots class that was offered and when it was time to actually do the shots I just watched the video over and over again on the FreedomFertility site. In the privacy of my own home.
Good luck to you, I've been trying to keep up with all of you ladies over here.
on the upshot, I'm now quite excited to be meeting BGP as Janice Dickinson tomorrow.
I can't stand upity b!tches. If you want, you can beat the spit out of her. I'll say you were with me.
I wish I could punch her in the face for you!
Are you KIDDING me? Clearly she hasn't been at it as long as you have.
I mean really. At what point -- how MUCH do you do? How much reasearch? How much reading and digging and digging and reading?
And you know what, I'll tell you this: If there was a book or a level of caring or a method of giving a shot that earned us a baby WE WOULD ALL HAVE ONE and stupid crack whores would not.
You tell her I said that if you ever see her again, okay?
