So I have a pregnant cousin who I am avoiding at all costs. She will end up being a topic of many of my posts here...because she is an idiot.
Before she got pregnant this go round (she has one little boy already) and she was 'trying', she was moaning and complaining to me about how she will have to get a Rhogam shot again. Oh no, how f*cking horrible for you!. She'd NEVER make it as an infertile!! Let's see, I gave my own self 40 shots during my IVF cycle, had blood drawn at least 6 times, and had 2 weeks worth of intramuscular PIO!! Not to mention that once pregnant, 99% of infertiles have to take progesterone supplements in some form for at least 10 weeks. Oh, I forgot to mention that she can't swallow pills either...and used that as the excuse to why she got knocked up the first time--while in college, and dating my friend for all of 4 months--because she "can't swallow birth control pills". Yes ma'am ladies, she's a real gem.

I can't wait to hear more gems from this one! Sorry you have to deal with it...
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered this about some people I know. I look at them and think what a terrible infertile they would make. They even complain about a paper cut!!! Of course, they do manage to get preg in a month.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder if we are pushed farther into the IF world just because we are read to brave all?
Oh please..can't swallow a BCP? I have "issues" swallowing oills or at least I did before infertility..BCP are small!
ReplyDeleteWow. Just...wow.
ReplyDeleteoh there's certainly plenty more where this came from! I don't want to flood with too many posts so I'll space 'em out...but I do have a couple of fb posts, including her 'announcement' *shakes head in disgust*
ReplyDeletebtw Michelle, they do make chewables too--I had them for a good while b/c my dr prescribed them (but I just swallowed them)
Well, there's one born every minute :D Can't swallow pills? WTFrick? What does she do when she gets sick? *rolls eyes*
ReplyDeletewhat.an.idiot.
ReplyDeleteWOW. Is it bad my first thought was "oh, she's anticipating another miscarriage, poor thing"? It never dawned on me that one would get that shot for any other reason *sigh* I need to improve my reading skills and start belonging to a world where pregnancy = baby.
ReplyDeleteI have to take Rhogam too, on top of all the IF bullshit. It's like 3 shots. Boo hoo for her!
ReplyDeleteAnd the bcp... I can't even deal!
My guess is that she can swallow other stuff... (wink, wink). sorry, I couldn't resist
ReplyDeleteLOL @ the last poster ;)
