Another: "Just relax and you will get pregnant!!"

ktwilley · February 2010

I am SO sick of people saying this to me. So we've been trying for over 2 years and nothing. Obviously something is wrong. Something that can't be fixed with a bottle of wine and a romantic weekend away with my DH!!!

What is wrong with people????

Another throat punch.?

I can't stand it. My MIL found out about the whole IVF-OHSS-9 day hospital stay-3 blood clots saga. The first thing she told me- "I know someone who did two failed IVFs, and then she got pregnant naturally." I responded- "Good for her, but that won't happen to me, so please stop saying it." UGH.?

Some people are idiots. That is quite possibly the worst thing to say to someone dealing with IF.

I hate it when people say that.......and I hate it when people ask when we are having children! I would love to know the answer to this myself! Thanx for asking jerk.

I'm so sorry you had to hear that. I hear it all the time. People that aren't IF just don't get it! One friend said she was going to send me a get KU package with wine and stuff. I'm like...uh, yeah that's not cool.

i seriously want to punch people who say that to me.

I like to point out to people that my RE said we have a 2% chance on our own each month. 2%! Relaxed or not relaxed, 2%. This is why we need some medical help to increase those odds.

next time you find yourself in a book store try to find the book 'Infertility for Dummies" ... there is a chapter that lists The Ten-Plus Most Annoying Things to Hear When You're Trying to Get Pregnant. They are right on and actually made me laugh. Here is the Parents magazine version, the dummies one is WAY better.

1. "It will happen quicker if you relax and stop worrying."

2. "You DO know it takes sex to make a baby, right?"

3. "If you want kids, take mine! Then they can drive you crazy."

4. "I'll lend you my husband -- he just looked at me and I got pregnant."

5. "Aren't you pregnant yet?"

6. "You must be doing it wrong."

7. "You're trying too hard."

8. "Maybe it wasn't meant to be."

9. "You can always adopt."

10. "Did I tell you I'm pregnant?"

People suck! I hear this all the time just in general -- since only my mom, BFF, and DH know about our IF issues. Thank god, because I'm sure I'd hear it more and have to pop a few people for saying stupid things!
