I know Amanda and I’m sorry. While I had no problem shooting up in front of A, I hated bringing her to the monitoring – even though I wasn’t even going to an “infertility” clinc per se.

Can you wait in the hallway and ask the receptionist to come and get you when it’s your turn?

You know what though – people will know the difference – you’ll be respectful and people that don’t even think about it – aren’t.

That last paragraph of Michelle’s was so sweet!

I was in your position 20w ago. My son had to accompany to my my appointment at the RE. When I apologized to the girl at the front desk, she scolded me for thinking such thoughts. She said everyone was here for the same purpose – to have a child – and just because we have one already doesn’t mean we aren’t allowed to try for a second or third or however many and sometimes that means bringing our children to the office. She also pointed out that we weren’t the only ones with a child in the office.

While she was kind, I really didn’t feel okay until a woman waiting for a monitoring appointment made conversation with my son and as she went back she told me I am blessed and one day she will be too.

Don’t feel bad.
I know how you feel and I would feel the same. But no one has the right to judge you or shoot you evil looks. When it comes down to it, I bet you’re unlikely to come across anyone who’s been through 7 cycles tomorrow morning.
It’s great that you’re so sensitive to others, but focus on you. I think you’ve earned the right and it will be stressful enough taking Adam without worrying what the other women think. I know they’re fellow IVF’ers stuck in the trenchers but they’re also just strangers who you’ll never see again.
Been meaning to say I wish you all the best on this cycle. I read you avidly when I was going through IVF myself – one night I sat and read all your archives. You were even kind enough to email me on the eve of my preg test for IVF 2. That cycle failed but I’m now lucky to be a very happy mum.
Anyway, as I say, all the best. Will be checking in and keeping everything crossed for you.
