    My brother in law (currently going through the longest divorce in history coz he doesn't have the balls to finalize the thing) said to my wife the other day "You should have just ask me and my black girlfriend to make you one!" Nothing racial, but not everybody is prepared to raise a child outside of our culture. He followed that stupid remark with "Why don't you just adopt?" My wife told him that we didn't adopt coz it's quite impossible for caucasian parents to adopt caucasian babies. That shut him up.

    PLEASE - I don't mean this as a racist remark! To each his own. We are just not willing to raise a African baby.

    OMG! You gals mentioning the fat bastard winking & going "Just come to me, I'll help you girls out..." is just SO accurate. First they want to "cure" us, then they wanna knock us up!

    And when we found out that we're pregnant with a very high HCG level, and everyone thought it's gonna be twins, one biatch actually said "Oh, then you can give me one! I have one but don't wanna go through the whole stretchmarks & weight gain thing again!" Yes, you stupid skank - I'm an incubator whose sole purpose on this earth is to spend my life savings so that YOU won't have to go through any discomfort. People sometimes just fark me off.

    My worst is when a fat hairy man comes up and says "if you need some help I can always oblige. I just looked at my wife and she fell pregnant".

    I have a daughter and what hurts me the most is when people tell me that I should be happy that I got one at least.

    Why the hell should I be put on a quota!?!?!

    Oh, and when my SIL (that actually didn't want kids) fell pg after 1 month off the pill, all my IL's where bragging about how fertile she is knowing full well that we spent 3 months with the FS just prior to that.

    Hmmm, so many to choose from, how do I pick?

    * Start acting like a slut in the bedroom - that will help you fall pregnant...
    Uh? Say what? I thought dirty sex was the same as missionary sex and guess what neither can fertilize and egg still stuck in my ovaries!!!

    * You're so lucky you can't have kids, we really miss our weekend lie ins....
    $#@%$^%$^%&^%&$ You! I wish with all my heart that I could "lose" my weekend lie ins...

    * Is your DH doing it right? Let me do you and you'll get knocked up...
    %^#$^%&^%&^*&^*&^% You! He knows very well how to "do it" you insensitve arsehole!!! And for the record I would not touch your weenie wiener with a 10 foot pole...

    * I heard that if you stand on your head for 30 minutes after sex it helps the sperm get to the egg.... maybe you should try it?
    All that would happen in my case is that I will pass out you dimwit... All that blood to my head and all...

    *SIGH*

    My most hurtful:

    My daughter HJ just recovered from cancer and you know God granted her a miracle and she conceived naturally.... I wonder why you're battling so??? - mmmmm what exactly was she implying, HJ, only had radiation at the top of her spine! Her reproductive system was not affected!!!!!

    MY DH's cousin, then went on to say that on the farms there are some ewe's (ooilike ooie) that just can't conceive, and they're usually just put out to pasture or slaughtered (cause they're fatter than others), he then told DH to look for a fertile ewe!! I almost killed the f$%$#r, DH had to hold me back, anyway he's now banned from our house

    Stuff them all, may they never ever have to experience what we're going through! Infertility is not something I'd wish on my worst enemy!!!!!

    These are my worst ones :

    Everything happens for a reason - I wish someone would back that up by saying what that reason is, why did my baby have to die.
    Its part of god's plan- I would love to get a copy of blueprint , as far as I can see its a terrible plan so far.
    God will only give you as much as you can handle - can't you see I'm drowning here , I can't handle it.

    Figures why my relationship with God is not so good at the moment. Everything seems to go back to him.

    Jewel, I hear you sista! Add one to that "Maybe God doesn't want you to be a mother"

    SEE-RI-YUS

    Someone said that to me and it absolutely haunted me for years. Wonder why my relationship with God hit a bit of rough batch?

    I want to find the fucker now and ask him AND NOW?? AND NOW WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF??

    But the ultimate worst anyone has ever said to me (and I've got all of the above and more) is this:

    After my one twin son died in utero at 21 weeks, leaving the other one alive...

    "hey, sorry buddy, but at least you've got another one in there"

    Yes, luckily we didn't really like that one and thank fuck there were two of them in there. A spare one in case the one died. Handy that."

    Stupid people, every where!

    PS forgive the french, I find it hard not to swear when talking about infertility
