Nurses and doctors (just a little vent)

[Anonymous]

I know a lot of things that need to be done need to do a pregnancy test know.

Here is my little story

My husband and I have been TTC now for 5 months. I went to the doctor and they were testing my blood and urine (anual check in to make sure i haven't developed diabetes.)

The nurse pops in. Oh we did a pregnancy test too since your a day late. Your not pregnant and just walked out.

No care or thought of feelings or anything. Just an fyi like it was nothing and went on with her day.

Did she know you were trying to concieve?

 How would you liked for this to have played out differently?

After TTC, the subject can get very touchy for you, but other people don't see it that way. I'm sure she wasn't trying to come off as rude. Good Luck TTC.

I hate doctors, their offices, and everyone that works for them. That was incredibly rude of her! Did you say something?

My aunt was ttc for 12 years. Had numerous MC's.
With her last one before she had her daughter. She was in the hospital for a d&c. the doctor (not her normal doctor ) walks n says I'm sorry. what birth control do you want?
Ummm hello dipstick read the chart & you'll see she's been ttc. my aunt just broke down crying.
Some people are so insensitive.

I'm sorry for your struggle, but what did you want her to do?

Any understanding comments about TTC can set me into tears. I appreciate those who just lay facts and let me do my dealing with the situation later, in private.
