*pulling up a small box to stand on*

So I went today to get my IUD. My regular gyno wasn't available to insert it. So another doctor in the practice did. Now, the entire process was virtually painless. I know it's not for everyone but early in the game it's working out well for me. So the doctor that was assigned to me comes in.....she sits down and starts asking general questions. Fine...fine. And then it goes like this:

Her: Are you sure you know what this means?

Me: Yes I do.

Her: It means you can't have a baby.

Me: lifting an eyebrow Yes I know.

Her: You aren't getting any younger.

Me: Excuse me?

Her: I simply mean this could be the last opportunity to have the baby you always wanted.

Me: seething I know what this means. I am aware. I will sign what you need.

Her: As long as you know this could be your last chance.

I don't judge anybody or their choices. WHY is my not wanting to have a child considered an awful thing??? I love other people's children but I have never wanted one of my own. And this doctor is not the only one who has ever voiced this opinion to me. I am 40 fucking years old. Clearly by now I know my own mind.

whew.
