So back in 2011 when I went through my first workup a co-worker of mine mentioned she had been off BC for almost a year and they hadn't become pregnant. No charting, or anything, just going about it the old fashioned way. I recommended she get a referral now (we are military) because it can take a while. She decided to stay with her OB, who did her workup and did one cycle of UN-monitored clomid and TI with her... and of course she was KU. At the time, I was in a bad IF place, spiteful, angry, cried when she told me, and felt guilty after, but hey, that's IF!
Since then she has proceeded to tell me things like "when I went through infertility treatments"... or "have you just tried clomid"... or "it will happen when its meant to". Now I don't want to undermind ANYONES IF experience but UGH!!! That's not IF treatments and those aren't things women who've been through IF treatments say!
Fast forward to today and her FB pregnancy announcement. "Yay, we got our surprise baby and are becoming a family of 4!"
Since I was not supportive last time, I messaged her and told her congrats. She then sent me a long rant about me just "relaxing" and "see what can happen" how they "weren't even tyring" and "even people with infertility can get pregnanty by surprise on their own"! AHHHHHHHH! I'm pretty sure, I almost broke my phone I was squeezing it so hard.
F this! F- FB and F- people! Thanks for listening!
