Why must people say that?

"Just relax and let it happen"

What if I like charting? What if I like knowing what's going on with my body? What if I just got off BC and would like to know when I'll have a period?

I will chart until my little heat desires, so the next person that tells me "just relax and I promise it will happen soon, stress won't get you pg"

UGHHHH

Because they have nothing intelligent to say.

I'm with ya...it pisses me off. My mom seriously thinks that putting a thermometer in my mouth every morning is what is keeping me from getting pregnant.

I work in a very small office, its me and two other ladies. One of the other girls is pregnant and knows that we are TTC and is constantly telling me to "just relax" or I wont get pregnant or that if we try to hard it wont happen. WTF does that even mean? I didn't know you could try too hard? Le sigh.

Yes

It always seems like the people that say this dreaded phrase are the ones that have had accidental pregnancies or gotten pregnant on cycle 1, so therefore they think that since they were "relaxed" that is definitely why they got pregnant.

This. Some of those people will no doubt be the same people that come to you for advice down the road (after your BFP, hopefully) when they discover they don't ovulate or have no clue when they really do, and then wonder why they can't get KU.

I'm right there with ya >< My mother tells me it isn't happening because we are trying to get pregnant! I know that high amounts of stress can throw off your cycle, but come on! Telling me to just relax isn't going to help me relax it is going to tick me off! Not to mention your body adjusts to every day stress, so it doesn't affect it like other things do. There is no harm in tracking BBT and knowing what your body does and it really isn't a stress either, you wake up, take your temp and then you are done with it till the next day. *sigh* people can be really stupid and insensitive sometimes.

So frustrating! My MIL last night told me a story about a woman who was having trouble conceiving, she adopted a baby, then a year later got pregnant with twins after she "relaxed". I responded "Do you really think she got pregnant with twins after struggling with infertility by just relaxing????!"
