Top 10 List

[jarkleinhans]

I'm having a bad day so I decided to vent alittle and have a laugh.So...
Here is my top ten list of stupid pg advice/support that I have ever heard.

10.) Your still young.
9.) Everyone around here is pregnant, just drink our water.
8.) Are you guys having sex?
7.) All my husband does is look at me and we're pregnant.
6.) Just relax and you'll get pregnant.
5.) When the time is right it will happen.
4.) Get drunk and have sex, that's how I got pregnant.
3.) If you lose weight.
2.) Go on vacation.

And the BEST one is....
1.) You can have mine.

Here's what I would love to say to all of these..

10.) I'm young but the older I get my condition isn't going to get better.
9.) Hell if all I had to do was drink the water I would have drank that well dry.
8.) Why would we have sex. I thought babies came from a stork.
7.) Good to hear. I really want a baby but tell your husband not to look at me
6.) It's really hard to relax with my feet in stirrups and cold metal down there.
5.) Can you let me know what time that is, cause I'd show up early.
4.) That's great but I'd like to remember when my child was conceived.
3.) Thanks for calling me fat, I just thought I was bloated.
2.) After paying all of my doctor and medication bills we don't have money to go on vacation. Would you like to send us and pay for it?
1.) I'd love to have your kids. I'll take em and you can be infertile and we'll see which one is harder to deal with.

Thanks for reading if you have made it this far. Feel free to add to the list if wish. Good luck everybody.

That is soooo true! I have been told almost all of them...

My mother in law said this once and I never forgot it...VERY RUDE!

-"I'll buy you a baby."


IT IS SO RUDE THAT I DO NOT EVEN HAVE A RESPONSE!!! GRRRRR

Some people just don't take the time to think before they open thier mouths.
Best of wishes and luck to you

I have heard them all too.

I am having a really rough day. My SIL just had a baby last night and I need a pick me up.

[jeppy]

Me too - I just got my BFN today after doing my 3rd IUI.


Wish there was something that I could do or say!!! My RE tries to cheer my up by saying that if you can look over the emotional aspect of IF and look at the stats then we are all doing pretty good and are on the right track.
Sometimes this gives me a clear and refreshing feeling and sometimes it just does nothing for me.

I'm in the same boat! Tomorrow is my cousin's wedding and they already have a baby that will be passed around...I understand

I've been told to:
- relax
- take a month off work
- take up yoga
- gain weight

It's also been difficult lately - I was late for AF last cycle, which hasn't happened in years, PLUS I recently had a LAP done and knew that there was an increased chance of getting pregnant afterward, so the signs were pointing to possibly being pregnant. My DH was also starting to get his hopes up, and then...AF came and I was devastated. To top it off, it's been much heavier than usual which upsets me even more.

A so-so "friend" emailed me recently asking whether my DH and I had any plans yet for starting a family. hhhhmmmm...let's see now...we've been married for close to five years (which she knows) and no kids...you think maybe she would have had the sense not to ask such a question. Needless to say, I didn't respond to her email.

DH and I are about to attempt our first IUI and we're both not optimistic at all. We're "unexplained" and soooo frustrated that the doctors have no clue what's wrong.

Angela,

I also wanted to write that I thought the replies you'd love to give were great! Right on!

OMG it is so true. I have heard them all and the sad thing is that these people don't even realize that one of their little comments can ruin our whole day. And I loved the responses. Hah! I just got a good laugh out of that! Thank you. I have to show that top ten list to DH cause I think he'll appreciate it too.

I love that Top 10 list! Can anyone come up with a good response for me to give to DH's uncle who thinks he is helping by describing sexual positions and techniques (in graphic detail) that we should try to help us achieve conception. It is such an uncomfortable conversation and he brings it up EVERY time we see him!

[scorpio chick]

Ohmigod! That's horrible! I wish I had a good comeback for you to use.

I like your user name. How come a lot of people act like you're not a family unless you have kids? I consider my husband and 2 cats my family.
