I have had many very early starts lately and so I have been really tired lately and a lil stressed and have had 2 trips to hamilton(very early starts) this week.
For some reason I was expecting more from this scan I had today even though I knew by going off what happened last time that I wont be ovulating till at least next week. So I went to my appt and surprise surprise I have more waiting to do which is what i thought would happen but my hopes where up. So since DH birthday is approaching I decided to do a lil shopping b4 catching my bus home, I was pretty down and fighting off the tears until i saw a very cute lil girl and had a lil tear and a pulling at the heart. I then saw a OB mag and flipped through it a lil and teared up heaps then quickly put it down and went to the back of the shop and had a lil silent cry in a lil hidding place. I then looked at the time and thought I only just have enough time to go buy that yummy pasta i was thinking of and sit down to enjoy it and then a trip to the toilet b4 catching my bus. I was looking forward to my pasta from the foodcourt and so off i went. While walking to the foodcourt all emotional and down a lady stopped me to offer me some hand cream. I was down and therefore a total walk over so i stopped and took it off her. She then asked if I have heard about the dead sea and all that and went to show me the nail buffer when i said I have that at home (which I do) and i was perpared to go. THEN the stupid b!tch looks at my face in absolute disgust focusing on my 3 small pimples and a few open pores. She went on and on about it and then asked how old i am (only 26) and was completely disgusted at my face. Ok so my face isn't the best at the mo due to stress, lack of sleep and fertilty treatment, but compared to most people my face isn't looking bad. I have always been know to have very good skin even when i was a teenager instead of having a pizza face the most pimples I have ever got at any one time has been only 4 small ones, I never really get big ones. Anyways she completely pulled me apart disgusted with the state of my face. She then processed to put stuff on my arms to show me how lovely and magical there stuff is. earlier on she asked me if i had just come from the hospital since i had a bruise on one arm from tues blood test and i white square and tape from todays. I was honest and told her i had a fert appt. She then later asked me y i think my skin is so crap and i told her again that im having a fertilty treatment, and then she rips into my skin showing me my pimples and pores. I tried to tell her a very easy 10 times or more that I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY AT THE MOMENT, and that i have had alot of expenses and birthdays lately and she kept pushing. Apartently my skin is very unclean, out of control, extremely ugly, old, needing a lift and basically that i need a paper bag to leave the house. So in the end i left feeling even more down and extrememly ugly, didn't have time for lunch so picked something i could eat fast. it ended up being cold (normally i would take it back and demand a fresh one but didnt have time) so i very quickly ate it went to the toilet and ran to the bus getting there a few minutes late but I got home to tauranga fine. I cried on the bus on the way home and cried to Dh because of my disappointment with my scan plus because now Im ugly and my skin is soooo bad. He got pretty pissed of coz my face is fine, not perfect but still pretty good. Arghhhh how could she do that to me when i was already feeling crap, I know she was needing to make a sale but thats a pretty crap technic, pulling someone apart completely like that. Normally I would be strong enough to just walk off but not 2day. |

OH Jem I so wish now that I had had time for us to do lunch!! As it turns out one of my meetings was cancelled and we could have.
I know the exact people you are talking about - I have seen the way they are with others so always ignore them. Big hugs about the scan too  i've got all that to look forward to once I have my appointment in a few weeks.
I'm PM you my mobile number, and next time you are coming up let me know and I will make sure you have a distraction from the rude sales people!!! -------------  3 little Angels July 10, May 11, Apr 13

Oh for goodness sakes!   What a rude, horrible ignorant woman. You poor, poor thing.
I really don't like those salespeople - they jump all over you and won't take no for an answer, and they just sound so fake. To be frank, I honestly reckon she was just doing a sales pitch gone horribly wrong. She probably thinks that if she can worry someone about their skin, they're more likely to buy the product. I bet she looked over every woman she met and found a flaw or two to play on. Not the smartest move, either, I can't imagine that selling stuff. Hugs. -------------

Was it in a mall Jem? I'd complain to the mall as well. There was recently a bit in sideswipe about these people (I think Sylvia Park was mentioned) and the mall management were notified and now they have stopped chasing me down quite so much.
What a cow, man! I would have had trouble not smacking her. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  |

You poor thing.
I HATE those sea cream people. Once a guy came up and started rubbing this stuff on me, and he kept rubbing and rubbing at my arm and I couldn't get away. in the end DH told him to p*ss off. sorry, got a bit sidetracked there. Don't worry about what anyone else says. Try to keep smiling, I know it must be hard. Try to do some things today which will make you feel happy. Have a bath, some chocolate (and by the way, Dr Oz says chocolate is great for your skin!), buy yourself something nice :) |

Oh hugs Jem - with a name like yours I'd imagine you to look as beautiful as a sparkling jewel, and I bet you do. Don't take on board anything that cow said to you and I'm glad you have made a formal complaint to the company. Let us know how you get on xx GL for your next fertility appointment too. -------------

Arghh i was almost finished my reply when i accidently hit backspace while the cursor wasn't in the box and lost it all.
I was thinking last night on the way to bed that i should also complain to the mall management as they are outside ppl and are more likely to do something about it rather than people within the same stupid company. I will keep you informed with what happens if anything happens. My mum just called coz she heard from my stepdad what happen. lol shes pretty sick right now and was prepared to go jump in her car and wanted to know where this stupid woman was until i said it was in hamilton. SHe half told me off for listening to her coz Im not ugly and my sick is ok and im silly for listening, she made me feel beta and made sure i knew that im not ugly. my mum actually looks in her mid-late 30's I wont say how old she is.... but she does have a 26,22 and 9yo lol she looks old enough to have my baby sis but not old enough for me and my lil bro. It was at that mall in hamilton, i think central place??? opp the warehouse and transport station. Thanks guys I am feeling so much beta 2day after a sleep in and many hugs hmmmmm chocolate mmmmmmmmmmm sounds mmmmmmmmmmm good lol jacobsmumma you are such a sweetheart, and DH agrees with you 
hahaha this time my reply is so much shorter coz i couldnt remember what i said and cant be bothered lol |

jem, what a cow...hate those people they never give up & if you show them any interest they go in for a hard sell, a friend paid $90 on their crap & has never used it.
I bet your skin is not half as bad as you think  & stress & ttc can play havoc with it. It is just hard when you are feelin low & a stranger is trying to make money off you & the only way they can is by making something sound worst than it is.
Next time go & get your pasta & when she comes for you just keep walking or ask her if she uses the product & when she says yes say oh ok hmm then definitely not for me bye...don't let them get a word in & walk off with a smile on your face even if you have to fake it. |

Those people annoy me so much. I always lie and say loud enough for anyone else they're talking to to hear that I've bought their stuff before and it made me break out in a bad rash. Then keep walking.
I'm sure your skin is fine Jem. What a stupid way to try to make a sale. -------------

Yeh the stuff they have is crap, funny thing is while i was on the bus home I was itching like crazy, so I started to think back on what I might have eaten lately that would cause me to itch, until i realised the rest of my body was fine it was just the insides of both arms that was itchy where she put the stuff. Im still a lil itchy even after a wash. So I would have had mean buyers remorse if i had caved and brought it!
Hehehe i have another scan on sunday (dh's bday) and hes wanting to go find her. But I dont think I want to coz Im kinda wanting to make it a special day for his bday |

yea I agree jem those people are just freaks!! There is one woman there who seems to split up her time between Tauranga & Hamilton - she has a foot fetish with my DH!! LOL Everytime he walks past she is starring at his feet (everytime he has on his jandles) what the ??? just werid LOL I've tried the product before and it's c***p! My husband completely avoids going near them, it actually makes me laugh because my DH is completely petrified!
Anyway, apart from that just wanted to share that I'm currently listening to a podcast from itunes (which is free) called redefinding fertility by Sue Dumais I listen to it every moment possible, in the car or on the beach :-) It relaxes me and reminds me that I'm not the only person out there whose going through this and ways of dealing with the emotions... Take care, hope all goes well for you :-) ------------- Me; 32 DH: 31 Me: Gr 4 endo DH: MAR 41% 1st ICIS apr 11 - chem no frosties 6mths off IVF to try with help of Naturopath! |

hahaha louloubell thats so funny about your DH and i shall check out those podcasts
just an update Got and email back from the centre manager who fully understood how I would be feeling and she sent me 4 carpark vouchers and 2 coffee vouchers, she was lovely I also got a email back from the company which basically said sorry you feel that way but you where clearly having a bad day so thats why you have reacted to her. Yes i was a lil emotional coz of fertility stuff but i was on my way to have my fav drink lunch and a breather which would have made me feel better. but seeing her made the next 2 days crap (i would have been over my fert issues within 30mins) But anyways the crazy cow has been "dealt with" and i just recieved a $20 gift card for center place ( huge relief that i didnt get a bottle of their crap hahaha) SO i guess complaining has paid off, it got it off my chest, made me feel better, she was "dealt with" so hopefully others wont have to go through what i did, and i also got vouchers out of it |
