I was talked to about pregnancy FIVE different times. Upon initial conversation on the topic I told her I had my tubes removed earlier this year and she looked shocked and asked if I was going to do IVF.. Why would I do that? Ah, yes. Let me spend thousands of dollars to make a child via IVF on top my complex conditions after making a permanent decision to sterilize myself.. THIS YEAR!! Which she can see. And then it was brought up four more times. Including as she was walking down the hallway leaving the appointment. Mind you i've had my thyroid out for 9 years nearly and every endo i've had has throughly informed me. No is no. Some people don't want kids. The appointment was fine other than that.
