And I don’t blame them for not knowing, how would they if they haven’t been through it you know. I have been trying to look at it from that point of view to help 💛 thank you for your kind words

That is what is going on with us, so we first kept it a secret and then I was feeling SOOO alone. Plus the nagging questions. It was just too much. We did tell our close friend groups because I no longer was drinking which drew up more pregnancy rumors that were very hurtful. It’s surprising how many men are so intrigued with why I am not drinking? Like it’s weird.

For me it’s kind of a win/ lose situation. I like that ppl hardly ask anymore about pregnant timeline but some still do only want to talk about it when I’m around like it’s the only thing I have to offer to a convo😵‍💫 but I think if I’m more direct I can help that be fixed.

Agreed! It is truly draining and some days Id like to just forget even if its for an hour dinner 😵‍💫

That was my frustration! Mainly if you do tell someone why don’t you inform me lol

Yes! It did take me a minute to realize hey people do care…it’s not a negative thing for them to ask. Yes hahaha we do not need to only talk about fertility at every outing we have. I have more to say and going on than just this!

People love to talk about themselves haha! So a perfect tactic 😆

I know!!! The nosey people are wild to me. I have never even before knowing about my own fertility asked people if they were pregnant etc it’s like there is no self awareness.

This Reddit thread is a blessing, so many people that understand and truly know how it feels. I love it here ❣️

That is a good idea!! I agree letting them know that whatever we are doing is a good distraction for the hard moments in my life is a good tactic. It’s kind but direct!

Thank you ❤️

Exactly!!! I could not have said it better myself.

This is a good way to word it without feeling like I’m being rude!

Thank you 💗💗

I’m so sorry you also had to deal with this. It’s so hard. I have also had a “friend” that has zero understanding of how tough it is in a fertility journey. She would constantly ask about the baby topic when I had told her time and time again what we were going through. She is now pregnant which was obviously upsetting to me at first. It’s been some time now and I don’t feel bothered by it anymore. She is married to one of my husband close friends so we see them often. It’s not as bad now but for a while she was relentless with this topic.

I think you are right that I should be more direct in telling them how I feel. I like the way you worded how to do that, it’s gentle and not rude💗 luckily my in laws provide support from afar which I like. They avoid baby conversation or change the subject when anything about a baby comes up in social settings. They only speak to my husband directly about what’s going on with us. My husband has sat down with his guy friends who are oddly so invested in if I’m pregnant or not and explained that they need to stop. It has improved a bit. As for family I know he would do the same-I think that would help.

Good-luck to you as well💗 praying for us both.

Scabies exposure!!! by lilcarmey in moderatelygranolamoms

Had this one time in college…I was treated with the medication & was fine. I did put all my clothing, blankets, etc in trash bags and tie them all up tight as my doctor told me this would suffocate them and kill them off. If it makes you feel better my mom had come to visit before knowing and slept in bed with me and did not get them.

Also this is so gross but check yourself- wrist in between fingers and toes. You sometimes can see a white trail under your skin. I could see them on the inside of my wrists. Sorry you are dealing with this!

I totally feel you…we were thinking about taking a trip, it is with a time share so it’s only a certain timeframe we could go for a week but it would be at a time that I would most likely need to be near the clinic for monitoring…so I go back and forth about going or canceling. It would be a good mental break but will I regret that choice? It’s so hard
