Sometimes you just laugh)..

So, I walk into my fertility clinic today for my first appointment back after a break since my last failed FET in September. The nurse calls me back and I'm chatting with the staff. I do really love all of the people who work there. Even though I can't wait until I never have to see them again. I go into the room to undress for my baseline ultrasound and my Dr walks in…

She turns around and BAM! She is as pregnant as she could be. Obviously I am very happy for her! But it definitely took me by surprise. It was something I was not prepared for. Hopefully she can help me out now. As I walked out of the office, I just couldn't help but to shake my head and laugh...

When I had my first consult with a doc (Well, over three years ago), the doctor I saw was very pregnant. I was so hopeful and happy about finally seeing a specialist that it didn't bother me. I thought that they would be able to help me get pregnant too! Little did I know that they weren't able to, and I ended up having to switch the docs later because I needed to do de IVF, and I couldn't afford to do it there!

And then, when I went in for my beta test (I was a nervous wreck) the very nice girl who took my blood was noticeably pregnant. You have to figure it must be awkward for them to be pregnant while working with women who are infertile. And maybe they're in this field because they had trouble too and can empathize?

Well, anyway, she rubbed the tube of blood on her belly for good luck. And I ended up getting a BFP so maybe it helped

Is there any way you can get out of the co-worker's baby shower? I'm sure there's a stomach bug going around...

Thinking of you, and hoping this next cycle will be the one for you!!

This made me smile... happened to us too on our first IVF appointment heavily pregnant doctor... when it came to egg collection she was on maternity leave so i had a different one!

Me too, I've had two doctors and both are now pregnant! Secretly wondered if it's Ivf

Baby showers are torture; I hope you don't have to go if you're not up to it. :/

It seems like any lady I come into contact with gets pregnant. I specifically made a friend and wanted to hang out with this chic because she said she and her husband do not want children. And she would call them disgusting etc. So she ends up pregnant 1 month later, and I just threw my hands in the air.

It used to hurt more, to see pregnant friends, even strangers.

But I've slowly just become so apathetic to it.

Where are you now with your treatment, Serrine?

Thanks for all of your kind words, ladies

I did go to the baby shower, but it was at work so I was able to make up a "work issue" that needed my attention right away, so I only had to endure the very end of it for about 20 minutes. At least I got lunch out of it- gotta look at the bright side, right?

I have been able to make myself more and more apathetic to pregnant women. I feel like finding out someone was pregnant used to send me into a depression fueled rage for days, but now I don't have the energy. When I find out about someone being pregnant, my mind has trained itself to think "This is my cross to bear." I don't know their journey, but this is mine and the lot that I have been given. Every once in awhile, the craziness does sneak back in and I just can't be so calm about it. I was actually proud of myself the way I was able to handle myself after seeing my doc- it didn't make me angry or upset. I was a little sad, but then I just had to laugh at the irony of it all...
