**I must worn you readers. Generally I am a happy and positive blogger. I try to always be thankful for what I have and enlighten others. This post will not support my norm. Read on at your own risk**

So I was sitting here thinking about how I would love a burger from Sonic with onion rings and man have I gained a few from the steroids. Well, to be totally honest, I was far from being small before the steroids but they haven't helped.

I was just thinking about for so many years everyone kept saying, just lose some weight and you'll get pregnant really quick! In other words, if you were less fat you too will be blessed with a baby as if not being pregnant was a choice of mine. If I only put back the last ding dong magically a fetus would appear in my belly. Ridiculous.

This goes to all of the people that made the stupid suggestion:

I want to say to all of those people that apparently it wouldn't have mattered if I lost 50 or 75 lbs we just wouldn't have been able to get pregnant. How dare you assume that it was my choice to eat better and get pregnant and that apparently getting pregnant was not a priority to me. Don't rub your F***ing fertility blessings in my face!

Oh yeah and we can't forget the people that thought if I just had less stress and didn't think about getting pregnant so much then I would get pregnant! As if the day I quit my stressful job a baby would magically appear. This concept is absolutely stupid and insulting.

For those that are naturally blessed as a fertile couple, here are the rules when talking to someone who is not as blessed:

1. Do not tell me to relax and don't think about trying.
2. Do not tell me to just lose weight and all will be fine.
3. Do not ask me if there is any other option than IVF. Don't you think I would have tried it!!?? No, of course not. I love spending $15,000.00, getting pricked daily with needles, getting poked and prodded by docs just to have a small chance that I will get pregnant.
4. Do not assume that I will have 8 children at once. That is just ignorant.
5. Do not tell me how jealous you are that we get to go and see a movie. Don't you know that I would give up anything to be able to NOT have the time to go to a movie?? Do you really think that I am happy it is just me and DH going to the movies instead of a sweet family hanging out in the living room???
6. Do not get your feelings hurt when I am not absolutely thrilled to hear that your friend got pregnant and was trying not to.
7. Do not ask me if I get to choose a sex when they pick the embryos.
8. Do not ask me if my future children will be normal since they are not created "naturally."
9. When I just start to cry, do not tell me you understand how I feel. You have no idea how I feel. Not even close!
10. Lastly, do not tell me that my day will come. What if it never comes? What will you say then??

So these are just some tips for you lucky fertile people out there. We can co-exist in this world; we just have to understand our boundaries.

I am getting off my soapbox now.
