Why is it that the first question people ask when they see you are gaining wieght is "Are you Pregnant?"
Today one of the guys I work with came up to me and said "Your pregnant aren't you? I can tell these things, you look pregnant!" :furious:I responded with "No I'm just getting fat but thanks!":fryingpan How does one look when ones pregnant? Unless the stomach is sticking out like a beacon of pregnancy how can a person really tell if your pregnant? Why would you even want to hazard a guess like that? :scratch: Perhaps I am just being overly sensitive right now as AF just finished up her visi t and I always feel a little off afterwards.
Another thing I'm kinda gettin sick of advise from people who aren't dealing with fertility issues. It's like when someone tells you to just relax it'll happen if it was meant to be or if you start adoption procedings you'll experience the miracle of pregnancy because you relaxed. :badwords: If it were that easy I'd be pregnant now!

I think I'm sufferening from POSTMS so I better stop before I depress myself further!

A study conducted by UCLA's Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of masculine face a woman finds attractive can differ,depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle. For instance, the study found that if she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features. However, if she is premenstrual or menopausal, she is more prone to be attracted to a man with scissors lodged in his temple and a bat jammed up his :badwords: while he is on fire. Further studies are expected.:lol2:

My mother once told me that you should never assume anyone is pregnant unless you see a baby falling out of a woman's crotch!

Thanks! Thats a good one! I will have to let him know that the next time he opens his mouth to put his foot in it! (Which is often, I don't think he can help it!)

I have to much thinking time on my hands right now (nightshifts bite!). I'm thinking of sending DH's aunt a Genesis website link so she'll shut up! Somehow I dont think it will work...

Andrea I'm sorry you have to work with such an idiot. :hug99:

Are you going to Genesis in Vancouver? Two of my friends went there and both ended up with twins! One had boy/girl on the first try and the other had girl/girl but I don't know how many tries. Actually, I don't know that they went there, but I assume they did and it isn't my place to pry. They got pregnant after I moved away.

Good luck! :)

I'm sorry I have to work with such an idiot too!:nod:

Today though is turning out to be a much better day! The sun is shining, I am in a good mood, went to the gym this morning and lost two lbs!:dancingpi

Actually we are going to Genesis in Edmonton or Calgary because we live in the territories we have to go to the clinic closest to us in order to have a percentage of our flights paid. Most of my family is in that area except for my mom and she's coming down with us for the first cycle. It helps to that most of my family is down in that area, so we can visit while we are down there. I cant wait!

That's so great that both of your friends had twins! They run in our families also and we're kinda hoping luck holds out for us on that one!

Gotta go work becons! ;)
