I'm sitting in the waiting room in Dr. Anatomy's office by myself. Hubby is so unbelievably slammed at work he's barely taking time to eat meals, so I told him I would come alone to take some pressure off. At the reception window, I was created by a wall filled with baby announcements and christmas cards with photos. Yes, this is sweet, they have successes, but I don't think it's what I needed to see. Could be because my period came this morning meaning officially that I will not be pregnant in 2011. I never imagined I would be in this place. So yeah, baby pictures, mixed with hormones and a back ache, added to the fact that I've seen hubby for all of two hours in nearly a week, yup, I'm a little weepy.
I'll update later on what Dr. Anatomy has to say.

So sorry! I think it is very insensitive and baby pictures should be outlawed in an RE's office. Hope your day gets better!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures would upset me too. I hope the rest of your appointment goes well.
ReplyDeleteWhen I am feeling hopeful, those pictures are inspirational, when I'm not, it hurts to look at them.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you got some answers.
Gosh, those pictures should be for the staff to enjoy and not posted for all the world of infertiles to have to suffer through.
ReplyDeleteNo words, just big hugs. I know the feelings xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteI hope today's appointment went well!
ReplyDeleteI am weepy all the time so no worries. This path is not an easy one and you are allowed to be as weepy as you want.
ReplyDeleteMy RE's office has the walls plastered with those pictures. As much as I hope that I get to add pictures to that wall one day, it truly makes me anxious every time I see them.
ReplyDeleteHope the appointment went well.
I'm sorry I didn't mention the picture wall. That's the only RE office I ever went to, and I just thought it was standard to show photos of their success babies. It honestly didn't even occur to me to mention it. I'm really sorry it upset you, though!
