Trying to Get Pregnant

"Try not to think about it"

Venting a little here..

Anyone else get really annoyed when talking about TTC with someone and they just say "try not to think about it"? Seriously?! How can you not think about it, especially after you tell me not to?

  • Yes it's very common.  I love the, "when you stop trying it will just happen." or the, "if you stress out it will never happen." 

    Gee thanks LOL 

  • Yep.  I usually have to resist the urge to resort to physical violence.
  • Yup, so annoying

  • This is precisely why no one knows we are TTC. I might bite somebody's head off after hearing that a million times.

  • Drives me crazy. This cycle we took baby-making more seriously than any other cycle (charting, opks, etc.), and it actually worked. Must be a fluke.Hmm

  • That would be why I don't talk about it IRL.

    I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929

    I agree! I am far to mentally unstable to handle that with any grace!

  • Yeah or it will happen you just be patient

    This. Even though we haven't told anyone, because of the timing in our lives/marriage people are assuming now is the time. I've also gotten, "maybe if you just try to think you don't want it to happen, it will." Augh!!!

    Yes.  This is why I don't talk with people about it, unless it's my family (who would never, ever make a comment like that) or my teaching partner.  He just looks at me sympathetically and doesn't know what to say, except for "do what you need to take care of yourself."

    Have I mentioned lately how much I love my family and how grateful I am for my friends?
