"Why don't you die your hair red? That's what Suzie did and she got pregnant!" (the fact she was 17 & the pg was unplanned didn't factor into the comment)
"Just get a puppy!"
"I just assumed you didn't want kids."
"It's not that difficult, you know. You do know how, right?"
Do people even hear themselves?!!!

I thought this thread also needed reviving. Anyone got any funny / mad / infuriating stories to tell?

Ok Ladies as relative newbie here's my list:

1.Text message from my sister Summer 2003 (just after our failed IUI, move to Germany and test results confirming POF she knew in detail about our problems)" hey Ju I am PREGNANT!! - That should give you hope! "

HOW?????????????????????????

I couldn't speak to her for over 1.5 years after that

2. My mum after trying for the umpteenth time to explain what POF is and what the consequences are " I just don't understand Woollie (that's her pet name for me), Lindy (sister) is 39 and she has no problem..." and the best one "I got accidently pregnant when I was 43 and had to have an abortion..................."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

3. The peach of all insensitivity from my therapist (yes the person supposed to help keep me out of my depression) " you are playing with fate, you should just accept the life that's been mapped out for you" Needless to say the B£%^&(*(*Y Moo person has 3 kids. Obviously chnaged therapist on the spot

4. General "you can't have everything, you put your career first for so long what did you expect?"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

5. Appalling comment found on another IVF site NOT this one. "I wish all women would reconsider going abroad for IVF with DE - it's immoral to create a mixed race baby, it's selfish for the child"
WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT???
Needless to say I posted appropriately to this racist and insensitive nonsense (Becky saw my rant on the donor egg thread)

6. From consultant at (famous) infertility clinic in Hamburg confirming irreversible POF "well Frau Taylor, you won't get any more periods and you are wasting your time trying to have a child, go on HRT and focus on your career"

THANK YOU you insensitive G&^%T. LUckily he upset me so much it gave me the energy to look further and find out about IVF/DE abroad. No wonder their results are so good, they are so ageist and choosy they only treat dead certs I am sure.

I am sure I'll think of more

Love and kisses Julie - enjoying the sun here today and thinking of all of you

Nightmare - can't believe the things that get said. I had a sweet / killing comment today from one of my students who didn't know (obviously) but sent me into very unprofessional run down corridor to ladies claiming nose bleed. We (me and my Year 11s) were in computer room finishing some coursework when one lad presented his folder to me and it was truly beautiful - I hadn't expected such a fantastic effort from him (he's quite a difficult student). Anyway I was so impressed I whooped with delight and announced to the group how proud i was of him and his mate piped up 'Ah Miss - he's like the son you never had'. It was a really sweet comment said tongue in cheek and the student had no idea about my persponal circumstances but I just wanted to curl up in a corner and cry and it felt so like an omen - I hope his prophecy doesn't come true. Can't be helped but seems these 'moments' just keep getting more and more frequent. I might start wearing a T-shirt 'Don't mention children around me!! Could do the trick

CC,
His prophecy won't come true. I'd bet money right now that you'll have children. You're only 32 - ha! From my viewpoint, you are still sooooooooo young and have sooooooo much time. (Although I'm sure waiting is becoming hell)
I don't know why I feel so strongly about you, but I just had to write this.
Please forgive me for butting in.

Went to the GP this morning to let him know what we are up to with DE and IVF and Spain etc...he then went on to tell us how he and the mrs had planned each of their kids to the month (star signs!!!!) but"the 4th took 3 months to conceive as my wife was 41 then..."

Can you believe he said that? my GP?? AFter we just told him about DE decision and me having been treated for depression for the last 1.5 years...............

AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Thank God this board is here and I can get it off my chest!!

Love JulieT

I swear blind some people don't engage their brain before opening their mouth.

My boss is a sweetie but straight after telling him about our IVF treatment he said "Jane (his wife) & I were the exact opposite she got pregnant so easily". Great that's a real help.

When I had a very early miscarriage he was very understanding but still went into the usual rubbish about it not being 'meant to be', maybe there was 'something wrong with it' etc.

On a slightly different subject, I suffer from tinnitus (a high pitched buzzing in the ears) & years ago a colleague asked me "If I put my ear next to yours will I be able to hear it too"

Jude,
I am LOL at your last post!!! I too have tinitus (ringing in the ears). What idiots are in this world and I think they are the majority now!!! I was just telling my best friend that we shouldn't call "common sense" common sense anymore.... it's no longer common!

This thread proves it true.

CC · Post by CC » Thu Mar 10, 2005 9:32 pm

You made me LoL with the ringing ear!

Thanks for your words Randa - yes I should feel positive and grateful that I have lots of 'tries' ahead of me so I will focus on being positive and try not to be so affected by the little comments. I didn't get chance to read your signature properly before replying - what's your situation? If you don't mind me asking - then I can be sending positive vibes to you too, Cherylx

That was funny about the ringing ear!!
LOL!!
I guess people will always say daft stuft when the situation doesn't fit them.

Thanks for bringing this back Becky

I can't believe some of the crass comments people make - I suppose they think they're being clever
