convo #1.
me: blah, blah, blah to a friend about my upcoming IVF
eavesdropping asshole: i know someone who did IVF and it didn't work.
me: well, it doesn't always work the first time.
ea: yea, they did it twice and it didn't work. what a waste. why even bother? you people should just adopt.
me: (snarl.) us people? what exactly is us people? and, thanks by the way for raining shit all over my IVF parade when i wasn't even talking to you. would you like to next talk about how i'll probably fail both of my boards in the summer and if by some small chance i do pass, i'll probably never in a million years find a job that i want? huh? would you like that?
ea: blank stare. blink. blink.
convo #2
me: having a convo w/ a friend, general stuff, IVF, etc.
retarded whore: ohhhhh, are you gonna put 8 in like that one lady?
me: (instant seething rage.) no. we. will. not. we are putting 2 embryo's in. do not ever again think that you are funny or clever.
rh: oh, i was just asking.
me: you make me want to claw off my own face, but since i am too pretty it will have to be yours. and, here's a question for you - do you have a corkscrew so i can give myself a lobotomy in hopes of removing the memory of all the stupid things people like you say?
convo #3
me: hey, i just wanted to give you a heads up for when i might need to be off of work for a couple of days since you are doing the schedule.
scheduling nightmare: oh. you mean for.........?
me: yea. i can at least give you a window, since it's our busiest time of the year, but no exact dates yet.
sn: you really should keep that to yourself. you shouldn't be telling people.
me: yea, see, i'm telling you out of professional courtesy. not because we are friends or i want your stellar advice that you are always handing out.
sn: well, someone here went through IVF and told everyone and it didn't work out too well for them if you know what i mean.
me: no, i don't know what you mean. did telling everyone cause their uterus to fall out? and, i'm not telling everyone. you only get to know by default because you do the schedule. don't think for a second that i want you to know. and, do me a favor, can you smother yourself with that ridiculous turtleneck of yours that you always insist on wearing? thanks.
and, to the slut-whore-c-u-next-tuesday who told me i should re-evaluate myself and change my blog - go fuck yourself. i didn't ask for your opinion or approval. you mean less than nothing to me. you are an ignorant cow and for the 4th time in case you still aren't clear: i am doing IVF to get pregnant, not because i am pregnant. how about you go re-evaluate yourself? like on some railroad tracks. or in a lake wearing cement shoes.

woah...you've had some rough interactions lately. So sorry.
I guess, if I try really hard, squeeze my eyes and turn off my brain, I can see why those others were so incredibly stupid to you. On a side note, if that chick is STILL wearing turtlenecks, THAT along is cause for you to strangle her. But then her opening her mouth, she deserves it twice. The one that really pissed me off is that chick that said you need to re-evaluate your blog! WTF?! Why would you need to do that? It's YOUR blog and if she doesn't want to read it, she can go away. Like far away...try to have a good weekend anyway. HUGS!!!

Oh I have had these very thoughts! Hang in there...it might be the Lupron!
Here from ICLW.
infertility could be linked to stress.
I mean, doing a Masters, and if you are working, and the stress of treatment. All that shit adds up. My stress in university has kept me from conceiving. At least that's what I am hoping.
Stuff like that just makes me want to smack someone. I have been pretty open about my IVF, and I have gotten comments on the octomom situation, too. I usually glare at them and tell them not to get me started. It is not a pretty sight.
Here from ICLW- You are hysterical. Retarded Whore- WAAA HA HA. You are awesome with your snarky comments. Good luck with the meds!
Wow, some people can be so heartless. People need to learn how to step into someone else's shoes before they open their mouth to stick their foot in. Honestly! ICLW
Wow people are so IGNORANT! I wish I could say it surprises me but it really doesn't...just saddens me.
Here from ICLW. I am sorry that you have had these experiences. People are so insensitive about IF mostly because hey know nothing about it.
I have a friend who suffered through IF and when she was pregnant she found out I had a blog (never read it or anything) and she told me we couldn't be friends because I was spewing venom.
Best o f luck with your current cycle!
yuck! why do people think that it is okay to talk like that? i hate the unsolicited advice!
you're sooooo funny, though! :)
OMG, people really do have a lot of balls. You need to hop over to my blog and read my post from sunday about an article re: infertility etiquette, its kind of a long article.
Hey and from one RN to another, good luck!
I cannot recall exactly what I typed into google--something along the lines of "hellacious headache with gonal-f"--but your blog popped up, and I am so happy it did!
Can I just say how refreshing your words are? I get so sick and tired of the bullshit talk with regards to infertility. My nurse blowing smoke up my ass in the hopes that I will remain positive.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Rebecca
