Friend planning on TTC and thinks its a piece of cake~~VENT

in Trying to Get Pregnant

My friend just got married last yr and for their 1 yr anniversary (this weekend) they plan to start TTC but since I announced that I was going to start TTC back in Aug she just can't understand what I'M doing wrong. She is so confident that they will come back from vacation with a bun in the oven. I advised her of maybe starting to keep track of her temps and her response was "oh no, we won't have to come to that. I believe God would love for us to have a baby soon and He will make it happen for us".

WTF so God doesn't want ME to have a baby??? I really don't wish this waiting game on ANYONE but I can't help but secretly hope that it won't be that easy for them to get pg on the 1st try. Maybe then she will understand, it's not easy for everyone. It is really hard though to listen to conversations about her Baby Johnny and how he will be here so soon. At least I have been bluntfully honest and told her that if she does get pg right away before me that I will be happy for her but not to get upset if my 1st reaction isn't jumping for joy. I will be extremely jealous. But eventually get over myself and be nothing but happy for her.

 Sorry this was so long I just needed to vent.

    UGH! Sometimes people don't think before they respond.  Just rest assured that you are more knowledgeable than she is adn some day soon, she'll probably be begging you for information!

    You know she's going to get pregnant the first month right? That's how it works.

    The funny thing is churches teach about FAM and taking temps. Silly girl.

     

    I know she is. And I am just dreading for those 2 wks to be up for her to coming yelling about her BFP. I hope she is sensitive enough to at least tell me alone so everyone doesn't make me feel like a jerk if I start crying my eyes out haha.

    Sorry your friend is so lame about all this.  I really hope the best for the both of you, but truly wish she was more sensitive (and educated).

    LO 2.0 on the way!  BFP 11/11/13, EDD 7/26/14

    My younger sister is KU with #2. She tried one cycle for both of hers. Never even saw AF after she stopped BCP.

    After I stopped BCP in May I called her to talk about it, just get some input and she sounded annoyed.

    My mom was also as fortunate. Claims she was KU with me first BD off the pill. When I tried to talk to her, it was a similar reaction.

    People suck. I am sorry your friend is being like that. And PP is probably right she will probably be KU on vacation. Be happy you understand your body and how the whole process works.

    I hope she is, but I get the feeling it will be a bit of face rubbing, followed by "ZOMG, you should do what we did so then we can be preggersauruses together and roam the land happy and free! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!".

    HaHaHa

    OP: I would be a little upset if she did make a scene in front of others.

    That sounds not awesome.  Good luck to her I guess. I get frustrated with a friend of mine who is planning to have her first child in June of 2013 and the second in April of 2015.  I mentioned that I hope it works out like that and she thought I was crazy, like what do you mean maybe it wouldn't work like that? You have sex 9 months before and then you have a baby whichever month you want.  And her dad is an OB/GYN.

    Ugh that sucks!  Sorry!  Some people don't really understand how it works. My BFF (who is a guy) was chatting about OPK last night and saying how horrible it is that they exist and why would anyone would take one and not let nature take it's course.  I wanted to reach across the table and slap him.  They think it just happens!

    Her dad being an OB/GYN I think just makes this story even worse! I used to be one of these ppl because I was raised with "it only takes one time of not using protection to get pg". Boy was I surprised after 3 months of TTC that I wasn't pg yet. That's when TB opened my eyes and FF helped me understand. You ladies are great!

    Ugh...some people just don't get it!  I can relate.  I have a good friend who was recently married.  She was going to TTC right away, but just told me she wants to enjoy married life. Totally understandable.  Then, she said how she will probably start in the Fall so she will have her newborn next summer!  She is looking forward to having her summer baby.  Ahhhh.....okayyyy....pretty confident!

    I would be secretly hoping it takes a month or two for her, too.
