They Just Don't Get It!

Friends, family, strangers on the street, they all want to comment on your infertilty.  But they just don't get it!!  If you have been going through infertility for a while, then you know exactly what I am talking about. 

"As soon as you quit trying it will just happen", this is one of the most common ones you will hear.  I'm not saying that it doesn't happen that way for some people, but most of us are past the point where we are willing to "stop trying"  in order to try to get pregnant!  What I think is really funny is these people don't even know the cause of your infertility when they make these wise comments.  For all they know, I could be missing tubes and it could be impssible to get pregnant naturally!  I think these people all mean well; they just don't know what the right thing is to say.  You just have to start letting these comments go in one ear and out the other.  It is really helpful to be involved in fertiltiy forums and blogs.  We understand eachother a lot better than outsiders can understand us.  Good luck on your fertility journey!

  2. I think all of us have gotten that comment at one time or the other! Try not to let it bother you too much.
