Things we can't stand that fertile people say....
I know we can all use a good vent once in a while and dealing with all the meds and dr. Appts can take its toll. As much as we love our family and friends they all can say things that make it hurt worse, when in fact they try to make you feel better.
My best friend had a baby 5 months ago after trying(unassisted) for 8 months. She is always very supportive and then she said this:
"It will be so much more special for you. The hard is what's makes it special."
Really??? Can being pregnant and having a baby when you want it more than anything be anymore special????
Share your vents ladies!!

Re: Things we can't stand that fertile people say....
Oh please where do i begin:
1. Relax, it'll happen when you least expect it!
2. You're going to be a great mother bc you will appreciate it that much more.
3. It'll happen when the time is right!
4. it took us three months to get pregnant, have you tried ovulation kits?

Things we can't stand that fertile people say....
There is a couple who were trying unassisted for 3 years (the hubby was away on business a lot) and i HATE when they tell me just to "relax" and that "it'll happen". Well, guess what? I'm 3 years older than your darling wife and you never had a MC, so don't tell ME to relax.

For me #1 and #3 paired with
"maybe its not meant to be"
(For me- I already have 2 children, so people seem to think that telling me it's not meant to be to have a 3rd is comforting when I struggling to get preggo... Im thankful for what I have, but that doesn't mean my desire for a 3rd child just vanishes!)

Re: Things we can't stand that fertile people say....
I have soooo many:
1- Just relax and it will happen.
2- I can't wait to get this baby out of me! - Said by numerous pregnant friends.
3- In reference to my transfer...Just go home and put you legs up.
4- The struggle you're going through will just make you love and appreciate your baby even more.
5- Everything happens for a reason. I always believed in this, but hearing it from people after I lost the twins just p*ssed me off!

Things we can't stand that fertile people say....
APT910 - totally hate hearing your number 4 and 5.
1. have you thought about adoption? Or: Why don't you just do adoption?
2. what is meant to be will be
3. You'll be fine no matter what. (really?? REally?)
4. When pregnant women ***** and moan about being pregnant.
5. When my friend moans about her daughter and said the other day "OMG Don't have Children!"....seriously???
6. My brother boasted about getting pregnant "1st time every time!"
7. MY brother boasting about how his family name will live on in generations to come as he has 3 boys now. Again, I say REALLY?
Yeah, no anger here at all :)

Re: Things we can't stand that fertile people say....
ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!!!!!! I also can't stand when parents complain about their kids constantly, and when pregnant ladies whine all the time about being pregnant!
Another goodie is..."Maybe you are trying too hard."

Seriously. People have no idea how bad we wish we had a crying baby or a kid that doesn't sleep. They'll never get it.

Re: Things we can't stand that fertile people say....
I have had back to back miscarriages this year and it drives me nuts when people say:
- it's nature's way
- it's so common, most people I know have had a mc. you're unlikely to have a second (hello??? this WAS my second)
- you should be grateful
- you're not over it yet?

Oh I love those - Even people who know that I have had 2, like my aunt, tells me that "it's so common to have more than one" .. REALLY???? You know that many women who have had more than 1 miscarriage IN A ROW?!?!?!?

Things we can't stand that fertile people say....
That video is great !! I 2nd,3rd and 4th what the pp posters listed ! This week I was offered the advice that I stand up too much that's why I can't get pregnant (wtf?) and also I should be getting it on in random places, and of course don't try so hard ::ugh::

OMG....#5. I lost a pregnancy at 20 weeks and when people told me this, I wanted to punch them in the face. I can't even imagine how you felt. I know that people mean well, but holy crap....can you think of a SINGLE reason why a loss like this was meant to happen?!?!

ITA with what everyone already posted. My favorites are: (i) I understand what you're going through; and (ii) why don't you get eggs from your sister.

Things we can't stand that fertile people say....
1. After two b2b chemicals --- maybe you need bed rest.
2. You're young
3. It's not your time.
4. Stop working so hard (at my job) and it will happen when you relax.
5. All time fav - stop thinking about it.
Yeah, ok.

Ugh, #2...even doctors say it. But my ALL TIME favorite: Have you considered adoption?
Hmmm, what's that? Really? Tell me more! I have never heard of this "a d o p t i o n" thing, but now that you mention it, I think you've solved all my problems. I'm so glad you said something!

Things we can't stand that fertile people say....
all of the above annoy the sh!t out of me.
how abt the all time fav: "well I heard that a daughter of my co-worker's cousin's friend was struggling and now she has 568 kids"
I am so happy for this person, but this means squat to me 
or my mom who I adore but really has sometimes big mouth "I am sure there is nothing wrong with the both of u, its just stress from work, and ur DH not able to find work, and money and etc"
yes mom all healthy people are struggling for over 3 yrs to conceive due to only stress, by boning non stop, taking medication, IUIS, IVF and FET to finally get preg
