Mine is actually baby-related this week. We had an all-staff lunch on Thursday and our boss stood up and did her end-of-year speech. She reminded us that a new baby would be around when the non-summer staff came back and that one teacher would have a new last name. Then she asked if that teacher was going to at least wait a year before getting pregnant. Then she started asking around and calling people out to see if they were planning to make her find maternity leave replacements. Then one of my coworkers walked in, who is a pretty private person but recently started telling everyone that she is trying to cut down to one cup of coffee a day (...) and our boss blindsided her with "are you pregnant?" in front of everyone. It was horrifying. I avoided eye contact the whole time because I don't even know what I would have said.. "well, I should have at least 2 more babies by now but since either DH or I is defective..."
@annibes that is just horrible- how tacky and insensitive!!!

Oops, so mortified I forgot my side eye! Side eying hubs for thinking I'm mad at him all the time, I haven't argued or anything so it is out of nowhere. I have been sick bc if hormones and exhausted. How about and understanding that I feel like crap and it is all the shots and hormones and nothing to do with you. And he was right by donut shop yesterday in donut day and did not get me a donut... Ok, maybe upset about that- side eying the shit out of that- but that only counts to me.

@annibes I wouldn't normally say this twice in one week but, seriously, what the actual F? That is completely inappropriate!
@Momarazzi007 I did not realize it was donut day, so I didn't get one either. I feel that tomorrow should be a makeup donut day.
Side eying my Dad. He's chosen to spend what could possibly be our last fathers day together (if he does not get his ass in gear and start going to his doctor appointments and get on the liver transplant list) out of town with his girl friend. What am I supposed to do with that?
@Bananappeal145 I'm sorry that us awful! I hope you got a donut bc crap like that is what donuts are for I hope he changes his mind

@Momarazzi007 - how did I not know it was donut day?? I'm thinking I have to make up for it today. I hope you're feeling better
My side eye is for my mom who had the lovely suggestion of telling me (she knows I just had a CP because she interrogates me with questions after every TCM appointment and since my period finally came back) to just relax, have fun and don't bother monitoring or charting my cycle and I might have better luck getting pregnant. Um, thanks mom. From you? Really?
Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)
Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements
March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!
Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!
Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN
Side eyeing all the NJ ladies rolling around in tights (seriously - they are not pants) where I can see their underwear right through. Seriously - it's gross.
Me: 35 DH: 35 - Married 10 years PCOS and MF Two failed rounds IUI in 2010 IVF #1 in 2011 - BFP 8/5/11 - Our IVF miracle was born 4/8/12 FET 9/23/13; BFP -Twins-10/3/13; EDD 6/10/14; MC 11/1/13; D&C 11/4/13 FET 3/28/14; BFN - 4/7/14 IVF #2 - Transfer 2 embryos 11/14/14; BFP 11/24/14 - Beta 265; 11/26/14 - Beta 612; 11/28/14 - Beta 1263; 12/1/14 - Beta 3571; 12/3/14 - first u/s - two gestational sacs; 12/17/14 - two healthy heartbeats (132 and 134) Our IVF miracles were born 7/16/15
I would like to add a new annoying piece of "advice" to the list. (ie. just relax and it will happen, have you tried getting drunk or going on vacation)
When I talk to my fertile friends about what I am going through the thing I get the most is "Is it really worth all this trouble?" I really want to scream at them "If I get a baby out of it, YES BITCH! ITS ALL WORTH IT! Aren't your kids worth ANYTHING? Just b/c mine's not here yet does not mean I love him/her any less. We can't all get pregnant by being ignorant about how the female reproductive system works and doing tequila shots."
