It seems once I've let someone in on the fact that we've been trying for a while, and they make some asinine comment about relaxing or tell me 'it will happen when the time is right', I have to blurt out the entire story of everything that is wrong with me in one breath. Which is waaaaay more than they need to know!hammygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03658315495415005466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049084733820679890.post-52926053584124442982007-07-21T03:31:00.000-07:002007-07-21T03:31:00.000-07:00Love the term "Infertourettes".

Although it seems to me people always take me way too seriously, and they always get knocked up first try (ie two weeks after our chat).

Unfair. Maybe total ignorance is the trick?<BR/><BR/>Only yesterday a good friend of mine, who knows we're freaking infertile, asked why we don't wait a year to try again (when the "timing" is better). Urgh. Because we've yet to even manage it when the timing is bad, dumbasss!!

What's wrong with educating the people in our circle of influence anyway? It might just help someone else and at the very least opens up infertility to the light of day.Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215000341567119958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049084733820679890.post-38292115624910949642007-05-01T17:53:00.000-07:002007-05-01T17:53:00.000-07:00ah ah ah, I too have Infertourettes. I realized I ...ah ah ah, I too have Infertourettes. I realized I was getting slightly mad when I started to push my best friend to get his sperm tested, even though he is still not reconciled with his wife. Nothing to be proud of. But the worse is my friends who had abortions EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE ON THE PILL. Well, those ones are so freaked out to be infertile that they want reinsurance from me. And of course, I can't tell them "you are so freaking fertile that you got pregnant on the pill, you whore". No, I find myself saying things like "I am sure you will be pregnant in no time", when I actually want to strangle them. Can't they realize how difficult it is for me to sympathize to their fears?Marie-Baguettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01149548077358647791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049084733820679890.post-5295093478325428192007-05-01T11:41:00.000-07:002007-05-01T11:41:00.000-07:00Thanks for stopping by my site, and for your words...Thanks for stopping by my site, and for your words of encouragement! Same back at you! <BR/><BR/>Infertourettes is PERFECT! I have a bad case myself. I have scared the pants off of quite a few of my friends in this exact situation. "Oh, you're trying to get pregnant. Me too. Yup, for 2 1/2 years now. No, nothing obviously wrong with me. Picture of health. Best of luck to you, you might need it." Well, I'm usually not THAT direct.<BR/><BR/>But then, when they are rushing around telling their hubbies that they have to start NOW, because it will take YEARS I feel the slightest bit bad. But probably not as bad as I will feel when they get pregnant before me :)<BR/><BR/>Best of luck with your injections!Laura, the (reluctant) baronesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708166760532744494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049084733820679890.post-25827093930502699412007-04-25T17:57:00.000-07:002007-04-25T17:57:00.000-07:00I love the Infertourettes term too!

She fell pregnant the month after reading it and is now six months along. Oh, you have to laugh! She recently gave me my books back. How awkward was that??<BR/>I don't even speak to my friends about my fertility or otherwise. I'd get too mad.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454167446758199344noreply@blogger.com
