Rules for dealing with an Infertile.

In reality, every infertile that I've ever met is a crazy strong woman. I'm not sure many fertile people could jab their asses each night in hopes that it "might" help conceive a baby.

However, just because we are strong on the outside, doesn't mean we are strong inside, as well. I've read many lists of "How to deal with an Infertile Friend Etiquette", but I have my own list and like most things in life, mine isn't going to hold back trying to spare the fertile's feelings.

So, my list of Rules for Dealing with Infertile People:

1. Don't complain about your pregnancy to us. We don't care to hear it. Ever. This is never okay. Even if you have puked so much that you end up in the hospital, we don't care. You have a baby inside of you. Be grateful for you puke and hydration IV damn' it.

2. Don't text us an ultrasound pic every couple of weeks. It's rude. While you may not feel like you are rubbing it in our faces, my broken uterus begs to differ. My uterus wants to punch you in the face when you do this.

3. When you're three months along, spare us the "I'm so pudgy" talk. Please, I was WAY pudgier during IVF and you didn't hear me complaining.

4. Stop complaining about all of your doctor's appointments and your meeting with the vag wand. For the love of everything holy. I'm 100% positive that in the course of my treatments, I've been probed one zillion times more than you have. Deal with it. I don't feel bad for you. Not even a little. At least you saw a baby when you got vag cam'ed. I just saw broken innards.

I'm sure there are more, but these are the ones that people threw in my face just this week. In one week. I wanted to punch each person. Rather, because I'm strong like ox, I just smiled and cussed at you in my head.
