I am having weekly blood draws to check on how my HCG is going down. I was supposed to have one yesterday. Now I know the lab is always crazy busy in the morning (before noon) but I had errands to run and I figured we were out and about, let's do it. But the line was out the door so I said ok, we'll come back in the afternoon.
Went back around 4pm.
There were only 6 people there.
3 of them were pregnant women doing their glucose tolerance tests.
The other 3 were their husbands.
WHAT are the chances of this happening? Is this not peculiar?? And of course they were all yapping about who their ob/gyn is and which hospital they will be delivering at and is it a girl or a boy ...
Luckily we were in and out of there very quickly - since they were sitting around waiting out there hour there was essentially really no line at all for being stabbed. I just had to wait a few agonizing minutes while the checker-in people were working on some paperwork.
AND I got the nice guy who never has trouble finding a vein.

We never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt-stricken, sobbing, with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip..."

That's a bummer! At least you got a good sticker and got the heck out of there!

Ughhh, I know exactly how you feel. Three times in the past week I had to go to the hospital. My doctor was out of town so I normally wouldn't have to go there but because I needed tests they sent me there (Runner - you know my story). This section of the hospital was specifically for pregnant women in their 3rd trimester. I had to sit in a waiting room for 3 hours surrounded by pregnant bellies, not one or two.....try 10 or 11. And on top of that they all were asking me how far along I was even though I knew I had a non-viable pregnancy. I had to say "o, well we aren't sure" with a big fake smile plastered on my face.
I came home that night and cried my eyes out. Dh said he would come with me the next day (I had to go back) and when we got there it was the same thing again. I know guys usually don't get bothered by that, but even dh said to me it was unfair and he could see how upsetting it is for me.
It has taken me 2 weeks to be able to tell this story. It was a nightmare. I just hope and pray my day will come and I can walk around sporting my big belly. Hoping.....

That is the worst. Last year when I m/c, it happened at the Emergency Room but I had to make a follow up appt at my obgyn. Sitting in the waiting room with all the pregnant women 3 days after m/c.... I just sat there and cried... I didn't even care, My husband was sorta embarassed I think (he didn't say anything, I could just tell) It is so hard seeing pregnant women after a m/c...
I know exactly what you girls are talking about. After my m/c in december I found out that my assistant was 12 weeks pg. It has been hard working with her day in and out and seeing that belly grow. She is due in a few weeks and I can't help but be a little jealous. That is so awful of me ....
Yesterday I confirmed via u/s that I'm miscarrying. Am starting to cramp and spot, but had to take my sister in for a bone marrow biopsy today (she has leukemia.) Then the nurse that we see every three months walks in with this shocking big 7 months pregnant belly. I pointed and said, "oh wow." She beamed at me and said, "Yeah, I'm 7 months! I was just hiding it before." I immediately teared up, which I'm sure she thought was odd, but I certainly didn't want to say, "Oh yeah. I'm pregnant but just waiting for my miscarriage to start." Grrrrr.

Today after I found out about my bad luck. I was sitting in my RE's private waiting room. It was just me and my tears. Then walked in this lady with a baby in a carrier. The baby was making all sorts of cute noises. And the mom kept saying oh aren't you so cute Isabella.
I lost it! I don't know why she was in that waiting room. Isabella is what I want to name my little girl. Life is so unfair. *tears*
A tiny rant about my crappy luck
