I thought I was the only one that ever felt the urge to punch someone for their inconsiderate comments. Turns out I'm not! When was the last time you felt the urge and how did you get through it?

Mine was when my SIL and BIL told us they flipped a coin to determine who was going to tell us they were PG. I didn't because I started laughing when my DH looked at me and rolled his eyes.

I felt like punching my RE's nurse several times in the last two weeks. I don't want to post all the details, but I will say she is STUPID and made so many mistakes during this cycle. We switched RE's based on "success rates", but if this cycle is a BFN I am really thinking about going back to my old RE.

As I was waking up after the ER I told the RE how much I disliked his nurse

Ah, the last time... This comment was made by a student I have that has 3 kids that she has NO custody of...during a discussion "well, people that don't have kids, they make the choice to not be parents, it's their choice." I bit my tongue for fear of what mighr come out...

Oh, and here's another...It never fails when I got to the RE's office, whatever nurse I get, they look at my file and say "so your husband isn't producing ANY? " Then they say "Bless his heart" I know they are trying to be nice, but I really want to say "yeah, none,.zero, nada...that's why I am a patient here...and what about MY heart?"

Well, I went to the dermatologist recently and he knows that DH and I have been dealing with IF. After exchanging pleasantries and getting an update on my condition and where DH and I are in the IF process, he looks at me and asks, "so whose problem is it again, yours or your husbands?"

I was having a pedi with my friend and I was complaining beacuse my co-pay for my prenatal vitamins was $50.00. Now she is preg. complains all the time that she hates being with child and knows we are dealing with IF.

So she says to me " what the hell do you need prenatals for anyways your not pregnant!" I wanted to slap her!

I'll admit it was DH. He spent almost an hour going on and on about how doing a SA was so invasive and such a loss of dignity and how much he hated doctors and how hideously embarrassing it was.

The same day I had my HSG where they spent 20min trying to shove a catheter through my cervix with force while I lay with my bits exposed to the three techs watching the procedure and was crying because it hurt so much... and afterward I almost threw up from the instant nausea of sitting up after losing blood to their incompetent fumbling. And then had to drive home myself because he didn't want to deal with more doctors.

I lost. my. sh!t. I tried not to lose my temper- it's a nasty temper and I usually say things I regret but I let him have it that time. I reminded him I'd put my entire life and career on hold to get pregnant (I've been off my ADHD meds for two years now because they're class C, and while I'm off my meds I can't go back to college- it's pointless.) that he'd dragged his feet about going to get checked and that my testing was more invasive and that I'd spent every 24 days for the last year and three months crying my eyes out because the pregnancy test was negative but I couldn't stop hoping and he was so damn cheerful every time "It'll happen next time" getting my hopes up again.... blah blah blah.

I think that was a sign that we needed some time off of TTC. Which we eventually got (and are in a much better place because of it). But he's been a lot more careful about complaining on the days I come home from the doctor.

I recently had a woman, who I had JUST met 5 minutes earlier at a neighorhood function, ask me if I didn't have kids by choice(in our community at my age, not having kids is very uncommon). When I told her we have had difficulty but are trying, she then proceeded to tell me how jealous she was of DH and my freedom because we didn't have kids to take care of.

I just had to channel my momma and say to myself "I may not be pregnant YET, but you can't cure stupid". :-P

LOVE IT! So many people say weird and screwed up things. I think it helps to let them out and chuckle about what freaks they are.

I told a friend I had started going to an RE, and she said, 'did you tell them how much caffeine you drink?'

I was like, ok, now why don't you really tell me why you think I'm not getting pregnant, because I'm not totally sure. Yes, I used to drink a lot of caffeine - I'd drink cups of coffee throughout the day, which I definitely cut down on, but is that really the most sensitive thing in the world to say to your friend when she nervously confides she started going through infertility treatment?

And, I'm sure we have all heard about the miracle friend/relative/friend-of-a-friend who took a break from infertility treatment and miraculously got pregnant on accident. I always want to respond with a big WTF to that one. I mean, I'm sure it happens, and I hope it happens to all of us on here, but after years of TTC, I'm not sure I will ever be able to have sex without thinking about what day of my cycle it is, or whether I have EWCM (let's face it - yuck), or whether a twinge in my boob means I'm pregnant.

I was at a card making class last Friday and what table did I get? The one with 3 sisters and their mom - each sister is a new mom and have 6, 12, and 15 month old babies. Two daughters are married and one is 18 and 'accidentally' got knocked up. All f*cking class I had to listen to them talk about their babies. I tried to be a good sport about it and chime in with little jokes and comments when I could, but that wore thin quick. Near the end of the class their mother asked me if I felt out of place. I wanted to stab my eyeballs out. Instead, I just said, 'no' then quickly packed my stuff up and left.
