Call it jealousy, call it a case of sour grapes -whatever - but some fertiles just absolutely annoy the crap out of me. If this cycle works, I vow right now to never become one of those people that I can't stand. I've already told you about my stupid, pregnant, extremely annoying belly-rubbing co-worker. I've gotten to the point where I can't even stand the sight of her and won't even look up from the computer when she stops by my office to rub her belly in my face for the 100,000th time. She was never one to dress professionally - always wore inappropriate office attire - clothes that say - look at me! look at me! Super short mini-dresses that I think were actually shirts, micro mini skirts, mid-drift baring tops etc - and like I said before, she is not a small girl by any means and really shouldn't be wearing any of this stuff. Now that she's pregnant - do you think she's wearing cute maternity tops? Of course not! I swear everyday she comes in wearing skin tight shirts that were probably meant for someone half her size who is not pregnant. The fabric is stretched so tight over her belly that I can't stand to look at it - especially as she stands there rubbing it. It makes me literally sick! And she's not due until I think late spring or summer - I don't really know but she's not THAT far along to be parading around showing off such a huge belly - I know a lot of it is fat - she has no shame.
So, it's silly but if I do get pregnant this cycle - I don't want her to know. I don't want her to think it's ok to come talk to me about her pregnancy - which she already does knowing my situation. I don't want my becoming pregnant to make her actions ok. Does that make sense? So, I'm sitting here trying to figure out how far along I'll be when she goes on maternity leave - can I disguise it for that long?
I think this IF has made me crazy - I should be thinking of how nice it will be that we'll be pregnant at the same time and can share stories but instead I'm sitting her contemplating ways to nurse my grudge against her.
If this actually works - who knows how I'll act, but I know for sure I won't be one of those people who flaunts it and uses their big fat pregnant belly to seek attention.

this woman sounds like something out of a sitcom,
do other fertile even like her? I am glad to hear you will be a nice pregnant lady, I too VOW never to put my ultrasound pics on facebook and change my postings to something disgustingly cute like "baby boy kicked today". I get so mad at those postings!!
Ugh -- I have grown to despise her as well, and I don't even have to be confronted with her. At this point, try deep breathing and letting her annoying negativity wash over you.
And thanks so much for the lovely comments!
I hate her, too! Poor you - she sounds awful!
I don't think anyone going through IF would ever be "that" woman. UGH! UGH! UGH! The fact that she knows about your struggles makes me hate her even more. Can you fire her?!
I hope it went well today. I was thinking about you this afternoon.
Darlin, you just go ahead and talk smack about her all you want! We'll chime in and back you up! I don't care who/how old/how thin/how cute/whatever a woman is - I detest inappropriate clothing at work. And thinking about it stretched over a pregnant belly is disgusting, actually. May she be cursed with a thousand stretch marks! May her ass fat follow her (literally) all the days of her life! And yes, I think if you get pregnant this cycle, you'll be able to hide it from her until she goes on mat leave. (I'm 6 mos now and just told a co-worker last week who had no idea!).
Ugh- I hate the belly-baring, skin-tight stuff that some women wear, even when they're not pregnant. Maybe if they're 14 it's OK, but not in a professional environment. Geez!
If you start wearing fairly loose clothing now, you can probably hide your own pregnancy until nearly the 6 month mark. Just like "Best When"'s situation, I still have coworkers who I see nearly every day who don't know and I just passed 25 weeks.
Things sound good for you! Hurray!!
Some times people are just obnoxious. And methinks this coworker of yours could short anyone's fuses without the pregnancy business, but WITH it just makes one throw up a little in his/her mouth instead of telling her to shut her yap and act her age not shoe size.
I am very sorry you have to deal with such a moron. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you - I hope you catch your break soon.
