her: "so and so are pregnant" me: "yeah I know" (thanks by the way for calling to tell me that right now) her: "you know they have been going to a fertility specialist for a long time too" me: "yeah I know. shes also in her 30's, has been trying for awhile, and had a m/c" her: "okay so you keep saying you are counting from the date of your last period/miscarriage. well you didn't conceive then so you aren't counting right" Me: (seriously what the fuck! do you not think I know how this pregnancy stuff works. so I go on to explain to her the 1st 2 weeks you aren't actually pregnant yet blah blah freaking blah) her: "well are you just going in to get a d&c? b/c so and so says you shouldn't do that. they need to do bloodwork and check and make sure!" me: (no shit! my dr isn't dumb!) "yes that is what my appt is for tomorrow" her: "well how are they really gonna check? are you going to ask for a sonogram?" me: "that is what they are doing!!!" I think I blacked out the rest of the conversation from being so angry. Don't take this post the wrong way, I love when some of you give me stories of friends you know that had something done and it was a success or just positive comments. But I absolutely can't stand when someone who hasn't been through this tells you what you should be doing like I haven't thought of everything! Please listen, give advice if I ask for it, but don't tell me whats best for me or question me that I don't know anything about conceiving/pregnancy right now! Seriously!
some people are so nosy and care more about the gossip end of it than actually being supportive. that crap drives me nuts and offends me more than anything. i'm sorry you have to deal with rude and annoying people.
