How dare you!? Really. It hurts when you can't get pregnant. How dare you be so flippant about it!?

I have lost two pregnancies this year. On Saturday, I had my rare time to get my hair cut. I sat in my regular stylists chair and had to listen to the neighboring stylist, quite clearly pregnant, not only gloat to her client about how well her pregnancy was going and how great the 4D sonogram is, but how she knows so many people who have miscarriages, and she is so lucky not to have any. I sat there quielty, my stylist not talking because of dental issues, and couldn't wait to run out of a building that is regularly an oasis for me.

Should I have said something to her? No, I don't think so. She innocently was revelling in the joy of being pregnant. Was I completely jealous of her? You bet. It was not my place to take that away from her, nor was it her place to look out for people with IF issues.

But I am entitle to have my feelings and not be judged by the likes of you - anonymous bitch.

PP, I think your experience speaks to how many of us infertiles feel. People who have not experienced this kind of heartbreak just don't get it.

THere was a thread in one of the other forums the other day in which a couple of women commented that they tried telling infertile friends how hard parenting was, that "the grass isn't always greener." Seriously, there are decent-sized swaths of the population who do not get it. And they aren't even worth trying to educate about this experience. So, ignore the troll, and know that many of us have been in your shoes, felt your pain, and have nothing but empathy for the position you are in.

Another take on this...yeah, guys are definitely wired differently and it could explain the lack of concern (outwardly). However, I do think guys are pretty sensitive to the prospect that the inability to conceive could be on them (low sperm count, etc.). So, OP, have YOU BOTH gone through an infertility work up to make sure everything is firing correctly? Your husband's lack of concern might be tied to "denial" in not wanting to imagine that the reason you haven't gotten pregnant could be due to his biological malfunctioning...I know I sound like an arm-chair psychologist...sorry.
