I've been meaning to ask this for awhile. Does it bother anyone else when people bring their kids (babies, toddlers, you name it) to the clinic? Don't get me wrong, I love children. I'm a teacher and I'm going through all of this for a reason, but really...
There is nothing I hate more than sleepily wandering into the blood and u/s waiting room at 6:15 in the freakin' morning and seeing someone rocking a six month old. I understand that many people go through fertility help multiple times to have more than one kid. (I hope to be one of those who goes on to have more than one kid) But, c'mon, you know the heartbreak and hurt associated with going to the clinic, so why bring your kid in??? Even though it's probably not intentional, it feels like you're essentially rubbing it in everyone's faces...
Does anyone else agree, or am I being totally witchy here?

I agree that it's hard to see kids at the RE's, but I also understand that not all gals have access to childcare at the crack of ass. So it's a really hard question. As a still childless woman, I'm with you that it can feel like rubbing it in.
Thanks for your kind wishes for my IUI--I hope yours is a success, too!
Btw, I always have hubby come in with me for u/s and all that. It helps him feel supportive and involved and helpful. And he amuses me with jokes, reads to me, etc.
Best of luck and a swift 2ww!
I don't particularly like seeing children at the clinic...it's hard enough seeing all the baby pictures without the real life ones! But I realise some people have no choice, but I also think some people would take them even if they had options, cause some people just don't "think".
I feel your pain...my clinic is in the same building as a obgyn so every time I go I see at least 10 pregnant women. I had my first IUI today...i'm saying a prayer that it works. I hope yours works also!!! I am a teacher too....good luck with the beginning of the year.
