I always like to point out to the "just relax" crowd how babies are conceived all the time during times of war and I'm not quite sure what could be more stressful than having bombs going off around you. In a less serious way, I point out too how my mother conceived me when my sister was a mere four months old. The newborn phase is stressful and yet there are a lot of Irish twins out there. The just relax theory is ridiculous.
Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12
Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

It's about time an article like this came out!
BFP #3 via cancelled IUI ~ C (2lb 3oz; HELLP) 5/16/11
BFP #4 via the natural (free!) way ~ E (8lb 11oz) 9/13/12
Thanks. I posted it to my FB too. Here's to slowly but surely ridding the world of ridiculous advice.
(Yeh, right).
