How's that for a title, huh?
It's almost 1 a.m., so indulge me in a little rant...
Ok, today I went to the doc's for a routine choelesterol blood test and a med check...just routine stuff. Met with the doc...blah...blah...new meds...blah.
So the nurse comes in the room to draw my blood. I told her to use my right arm as that one's the best...then I made some sarcastic joke about all the blood being drained from my left arm. She looked at me oddly so I explained that I'd had a lot of blood drawn over the past couple years because of infertility treatments.
She pauses, gives me a sympathetic look and says "Oh, that's too bad...I have five." *Picture eyes bulging out of my head* I mean, WTF? How do you respond to that? Then she continues..."All I have to do is blink and I'm pregnant!" Well goody, f***ing goody for you! She's a f***ing nurse! How f***ing insensitive can you f****ing be? Then she gave me the "just relax" mantra...(Oh really...damn...You mean that's all I had to do?)
I hate people sometimes.
*Rant over*

Perfect title for the story. Some people are so insensitive! Sorry you had a rough day. ((hugs))
I'm so sorry. I have to admit that the main reason I subbed to your blog is to keep up with your treatments and progress since I went thought this myself. I can't believe how insensitive some people can be :( . Honestly, they're just clueless because unless you've been there, you just can't know how painful it can be. That doesn't excuse it, but I know that's why people say things like that...it's just impossible to understand how remarks like that can hurt people who go through what we've gone through. Hugs, sweetie.
Oh I so totally agree! I am in the same boat here except I can't even do the fertility treatments due to the meds I am on for my illness and may not even pass the home inspection for adoption due to my disability. People just won't drop the topic around me, I have learned to accept it and move on. It has taken a long time and is still a sore spot in my heart. It is not something I can keep "working on". UGH! I just loved your blog today, the title made me laugh, hugs to you!
Eek.....that was very insensitive!! So sorry that happened to you.
Oh. my. gosh. How insensitive, and really just plain rude! So sorry you had to deal with that crap.
Wow...talk about insensitive. So sorry you had to deal with someone that selfish...and ignorant! Hang in there :)
OMG! Some people definitely are idiots! I can't believe a nurse would be so insensitive! I did IVF, and I cannot imagine someone saying this to me. (((HUGS)))
Wow. That is the most insensitive thing I have ever heard. Shame on her. She should have known better. So sorry that happened to you.
