TTC After a Loss

And I thought today would be better...

Yesterday I again had a ton of bleeding (OB assured me it was fine), and it just seemed like a slap in the face that I am losing our Nugget. I have been doing fairly well with this loss, but yesterday was rough. Then this morning I woke up in a better mood and determined to have a better day. I get to work and during the first phone call of the day a coworker asks, "So when are you and the hubby going to have some babies? You're lagging behind us!" Talk about throat punch Thursday. Granted this coworker is actually really nice and totally clueless about our losses and the possible "tubal infertility" diagnosis hanging over my head, but really?? There goes my sunshine and rainbows morning.

  • {{hugs}} I'm so sorry you are having a rough time. I know that people don't mean to be insensitive, but that is not something that you say to a person for this exact reason. I hope that your day gets better and your co-worker doesn't say anything like this again. 


  • Hugs

    Prior to my losses, I know I made comments to other girls about when they were going to have babies.  So naive back then.  I know better than to ask anyone that question now!

  • I'm sorry you had to hear that. I've gotten to the point that when someone says something like that to me I respond with " I was pregnant but.." they start getting nervous and saying I'm sorry very quick. It shuts them up and hopefully they will think about it the next time they decide to ask a woman that question.

    ((HUGS)) I know it SUCKS hearing people ask that, I've  had a FEW coworkers ask me in the past few months...

    and like pp said, I will NEVER ask this question of anyone again, knowing the struggles some women may be facing... ((HUGS)) again!!

  • So sorry (((hugs)))! This situation is one of my biggest pet peeves...I do not understand why people ask others about their reproductive plans, I understand people don't think twice about it and it's a widely accepted practice, but frankly...it's just rude and intrusive!

  •  A "Friend" of mine knowing we had MC saw me two weeks later and in front of everyone present she had the nerve to ask me... So, when are you trying to get pregnant again??? I really wanted to slap her. How can people be so rude!!!! I just ignored her and continued talking with someone else.

    I am sorry your morning is not going well, hopefully your afternoon turns around for you. Hugs!

  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • Very sorry for your losses.  It really sucks when you see a little bit of sunshine only to have a cloud cover it up in the blink of an eye, or in this case, an ignorant comment.  I agree with pp, people don't realize the effect that question has on those who have suffered a loss or are having difficulty TTC.  Much luck to you.  Hopefully the rest of your day gets better.

  • I am so sorry for your loss. :( I was just posting about this yesterday, people say well-meaning things, and it can suck hard! It's usually not their fault, 'cause they don't know your situation, but it makes you want to say to the Universe: Really? Now? I have enough to deal with.

    I hope that tomorrow is a super TGIF!
