Not think about it?

Does anyone else get annoyed when someone asks you "When are the babies coming?" When you tell them we are TTC, they're solution is "Don't think about it!" It annoys me because no matter how much you try, you can not not think abouit it...had to let it out..

Re: Not think about it?

I get a lot, if you don't think about it, it'll just happen...

Re: Not think about it?

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....

I get "If you stop trying, it will happen"

Go F yourself is what I feel like telling these people!

Re: Not think about it?

I get annoyed by the question about when babies are coming generally. Very few people know I am TTC, and I don't really want to talk about it so it just gets me upset.

A friend of mine is 7 months pregnant and her husband spent an half hr at dinner one night joking around about how we should just get pregnant already so our kids can be friends and remarking on how easy it was since she went off BCP and was pregnant 3 weeks later. And here I am, on my 5th month TTC... arggggg

Re: Not think about it?

I HATED that when I was TTC--that and,"you just need to relax." We were trying for awhile and I was having some cycle issues, so it was impossible not to think about it. I think the only people who say that are the ones who got pregnant on the first shot.

Don't worry, I'm here to tell you that I probably thought about it every single minute of the cycle I got my BFP.

When anyone asks us when we are having kids my new response is "Nosy people are the last to know"

Re: Not think about it?

This is why no one knows we are TTC bc I just cannot deal with dumb responses.

DH's grandparents sat us down a few months ago when they found out we were TTC and said the same thing! They were like "if you stop trying, it'll just happen for you" -- we were like... how exactly does that work? If we don't try, how can it just happen? Are we talking Virgin Mary or something???

He told them he got new underwear that's supposed to help (which he kinda did lol but I didn't know that was why!) -- it was probably the funniest response to that I'd ever heard!

Re: Not think about it?

My Mother in law told DH that he should wear loose undies while I went to the bathroom.


this lady got prego three times by accident without trying...god bless her that she didnt have to go through what I am but sometimes the things she says are idiotic

See people like this pis$ me off! Just bc it was easy for you doesnt mean its easy for everyone! Try to step into someone else's shoes for once. You dont know the couples complete medical history!

I agree completely. But I think the worse is when you hear it from another person who had trouble conceiving. I am happy for you that it happened but how about you try being a bit more sensitive.

Sorry, not having a good day, feeling very irratible.

Re: Not think about it?

Even worse than that comment...........


I went through the help of an RE to get pregnant- so clearly, I had fertility issues going on. When people heard I was going through fertility issues, the classic advice was to "just relax".. I can't tell you how many times I heard about someone's sister's uncle's mother's neighbor who got pregnant after 9 unsuccessful years once they "relaxed" and stopped thinking about it!!
