Like…why??
This happened a few weeks ago. I had terrible stomach pain for 5 hours and we decided to go to the ER to make sure nothing was wrong. Turns out it was just acid or something.
When we got there, the doc took blood to do some labs. Came back and said “we did a pregnancy test and it’s negative. Not sure if that’s a good thing or bad thing for you guys”
I told him we’ve been trying for 3 years so it’s not good news (though at that point we weren’t doing any IUI, taking a mental break from it, so I knew it would be neg anyways)
He said “oh that’s rough I’m sorry you guys are going through that” and I’m thinking yay someone who understands and empathizes!
He then sits on the stool next to me, talks about his fucking toddler and 6 month old and how great being a dad is and the silly things they do. I’m laying there in agony and just saying “mmm” every once in a while thinking WTF! I don’t say anything because I’m in too much pain and figure it’s not even worth it.
The tests came back normal so they gave me feel-good meds and then say I can be discharged. He then says “good luck on your journey guys! I’m rooting for you!”
WHO DOES THAT!!
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
