If ONE more person tells me to "just relax", I am going to just relax my foot up their... yeah.
Trust me - if this were just about relaxing, I wouldn't be blowing all this money at the RE which could be much less stressfully spent on things like shoes. Just saying.

I finally confided in a coworker yesterday. It felt great telling her so I don't have to feel like I am lying and sneaking off to doctors appointments. She was great about it but of course had to say, " you just need to get a bottle of wine and have a good night". Ugh really? You think in 3 years we've never tried that?!?! It's not that simple for us. I don't know if people say these things to lighten the mood but it's just so insensitive.

I'm still getting that too... Even my supervisor when talking about having a day off for transfer she mentions that I "need to go home and get laid" if that's what was happening for the transfer I wouldn't need a day off of work
My BIL told me tonight, that if I was happy and relaxed we would be pregnant already. WHAT. THE. F*CK. And just for the record, my DH and I are actually handling all this pretty well, and we are VERY HAPPY! Idiot.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! These are the worst! I feel you ladies!
I had one coworker who pulled me in to tell me that she's pregnant after "struggling for three months" to conceive her second child at 34. I was polite and made a fuss. She knows we've been trying for a while. She asks me when we're going to have kids. I respond "hopefully soon..." she cuts me off and says "Oh, but you and husband are so busy! No wonder! When you want kids, it'll happen" and she walks off.
Want kids??? I'm pretty sure THAT'S not the problem. I was seething from the fact that I didn't even have a chance at a rebuttal.
