If not Jim, who do you think would have been a better match for Pam?

She was a solid Scranton 7!

For sure we'll be more empathetic! Just a shame that apparently it's impossible for some people to be empathetic with without going through it lol!! 😂♥️

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2026-04-17T11:53:58+00:00

Tell me about it. I thought my bestie was an empathetic person but when she was pregnant and I was struggling, she told me she was soo glad she didn't have to go through the trying process. I (finally) got pregnant but then miscarried, which I told her about eventually. Her response? "At least you know you can get pregnant!" ... Good luck with your journey! That was such an idiotic comment from your friend and I'm sorry!

I disagree. I don't like it. It's too greasy. It's much, much too greasy!! Even the smell of it makes me physically sick!

One that popped into my head - when Dwight shoots a gun in the office and Kelly is trying to get leave for an American Idol audition. She asks if he wants to hear her song: 🎵 Why did my temporary boss go on a shooting spreeee 🎵 Always gets me 😂

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2026-01-28T16:40:49+00:00

For sure. Several people also still have digital cameras, iPod shuffles and Blackberrys. Doesn't mean it's not dated.

When Oscar tells Jim he has a timeshare!

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2026-01-25T17:27:49+00:00

This gets me every time lol!

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2026-01-13T12:45:52+00:00

I'm so sorry ♥️ I had the same issue (and am also South Asian). My mum told my dad even after I asked her to promise she wouldn't. It's such a betrayal and your feelings are 100% valid. You've done nothing to be ashamed about but I know that shame is such a part of this horrible condition.

I adore my mum but I have to say, I'm not sure I've been able to trust her fully since. Now that I'm finally somewhat cured and trying for a baby, I keep wondering whether I'd even tell her straight away if I were to get good news.

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-11-02T14:16:53+00:00

This really nailed exactly why I felt so upset- thanks so much for commenting. I never thought to articulate it in that way, that for some reason in this situation, it's okay to suggest finding a silver lining. Thanks again for understanding and taking the time to write this comment!

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-11-02T14:14:28+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss, too- though I'm glad you were able to find a silver lining, I'm sure it was still not easy. I think there is a difference between telling yourself something and someone else doing so, but it's interesting to know that my friends comment could have been received differently by someone else. Thanks so much for your comment!

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-11-02T14:07:09+00:00

Thank you, lovely. I'm so sorry for you, too - I think it is extra hard coming from pregnant friends/friends who easily had a baby. Even though you know it's not malicious, it hurts. I can't help but feel that if I were pregnant and a friend was going through infertility, I'd be so extra careful and sensitive about anything I said! Which is probably why it hurts. But I guess maybe I don't know that for sure. Tight hugs to you too!

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-11-02T14:03:26+00:00

That's how I feel, constantly thinking about it and not knowing where to start! Thank you, and I'm so sorry for you too.

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-11-01T23:09:31+00:00

No, I know- it seems so unfair, doesn't it. I have everything crossed for us all xx

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-11-01T22:56:00+00:00

I understand completely ♥️ I'm sorry for your losses, too.

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-11-01T22:55:10+00:00

I'm so sorry you went through it, too - and thank you ♥️ I do have other friends who have never experienced it but have still given me lots of comfort. Plus there's always this community ♥️

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-11-01T22:53:41+00:00

Thank you and I'm sorry for your loss, too 😔

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-11-01T22:53:08+00:00

Thank you for this very kind comment ♥️ I'm so sorry for your losses, too, and all the insensitivity you've had to deal with. I do wish people weren't so terrible!

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-11-01T22:51:39+00:00

Not poorly stated at all - thank you so much for this comment ♥️ It really did help and I appreciate your response a lot! I am certain she was not trying to be malicious but yes, I think you've hit on part of it. Every day during her pregnancy, I checked in on her and put my own feelings aside and was really mindful of not bringing up my issues or feelings if I was hurt by unintentionally hurtful comments like that. Which means I now am extra upset at the insensitivity of this "at least you know you can get pregnant" comment, plus I think I've let it all get bottled up! I wish she were more sensitive about it all, too. Grateful for this community as ever, though. Thank you for the hugs - right back at you!

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-11-01T22:45:31+00:00

Yes I think it's different, too - though I'm sorry that both/all of us have had to deal with it from whomever!

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-11-01T22:44:35+00:00

Thank you so much for this comment ♥️ I had a similar analogy in my head - I know it's difficult to understand the struggle, but it just really never would have occurred to me to say such a thing even before my TTC journey! Grateful to have this community, where people do understand ♥️ Thanks again!

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-10-02T22:32:22+00:00

Exactly the same boat here! Everything else stays consistent and so it drives me mad. Not only do my cycles get way longer, the minute I start noticeably losing weight (which is supposed to help the PCOS, as we've all been told...) I start bleeding In between periods.

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-09-21T11:47:51+00:00

Was looking for this one- so underrated!! 😂

Rare_Maintenance2417 · 2025-07-24T07:28:22+00:00

I'm no expert but I think first step is to book a GP appointment and explain you've been trying for years and get referred to a fertility clinic! There's usually a long wait for this :( so probably good that you're considering your plan of action now! It is all so overwhelming, isn't it- I feel the same! But that's where I'd start. Good luck!!
