Baby celebration
I just got a card in the mail from my health clinic…it has a teddy bear and blocks on it and it says "Baby celebration". I told them, multiple times, that I wasn’t pregnant anymore. I had gone there to get birth control after the medical abortion, and it still said I was pregnant so I couldn’t get birth control. So i went again after my next period and it was negative so they finally gave me birth control… So why am I getting a cruel reminder that I’d be having a baby next month? They should have it in their system that I’m getting birth control from them right now. Why would I be if I was still pregnant?
You should send them a card in return, explaining your circumstances. Say things that will really make them feel bad.

oh my god, that is ****ing awful! Where do you live? That is either highly presumptuous, or intentionally cruel. Either way really really unprofessional. And ryn: Thank you. I still feel I handled it poorly, but I am supportive and happy for her now and that is what matters 🙂

people should just keep their judgements to themselves 🙂

also, even if it was a miscarriage- why would they send you a card?? Why are they sending cards at all? just seems weird!

that is definitely one of the hypocrisies about it! I am non-theist and fully intend to marry my partner because I value that celebration of commitment and I want to share my happiness about my love with my family. My marriage would not be a religious one, yet is legal in states where gay marriage isn’t. The other silly thing about that is that my partner is a woman. She was assigned male at (..)

birth but she is a woman. Our relationship is not a heterosexual one. And yet that little “m” on her ID means that were we living in the US, in one of the states that doesn’t allow gay marriage, we could still get married. It’s a totally ludicrous system. and, yeah, that office seems completely incompetent :S
