So, I am in the office today. And, I am talking to the Senior Manager here. Just a nice, friendly conversation. I tell her I am planning to make my niece a dress for her birthday and monogram it and she says - So, are yall just going to adopt? Several issues with this statement. First of all, you can't "just" adopt- this is a long process and can involve as much heartache and despair as IVF. Second of all, if I wanted to talk about my family plans with you, bitch, I would have said so. In the meantime, mind your fucking business.
So, if you see me driving this in a month, you will know that my TTC journey is over.
And, if, God forbid, that happens...hopefully, all those idiots that don't "get" IF will their mouths shut.

Don't even know what to say about that comment. Typical.
What a stupid, stupid, stupid comment. People are just stupid!
Yes, people are indeed. My manager told me one day just give up on being pregnant and adopt. Being pregnant isn't that great anyway. Gee, thanks.
I believe I started crying.
And by the way, I have had the same thoughts on the car!! I will be sporting a convertible pronto if we decide to give up.
I think people try to sympathize with us but just end up offending us instead. My motto? If you don't know what to say, don't say anything.
Oh, and kudos on giving yourself the PIO shot!!!
Just checking in on you! Glad your cycle is under way. Hold on to that hope, sweetie.
"Just" adopt....as if those beautiful adopted babies were some second rate deal. Sorry, but if I could "just" adopt, I'd drop all this shit and "just" take one of those perfect babes in a heartbeat.
...just where I'm at right now.
Ummm, talk about random. Sorry for the stupid comment. Ungh. Lots of cyber (*HUGS*)
People need to think before they speak. Unfortunately so many people do not!
What an idiot. As if what you are going through isn't hard enough, you need ignorant comments like that. Oh well, piss on em'.
I am a doctor and am very interesting in e-learning to try to help people learn more about IVF and infertility.
I'd like to ask you for a favour.
We have published a free e-learning course to help infertile couples to learn about IVF at http://www.ivfindia.com/IVF/IVF.htm.
Can you please critique this for me ?

I hate that 'just' adopt question, so ignorant. It's ironic, no one I know who has adopted has ever put it like that!!
