ANNOYING TTC COMMENTS- Album #5


Send me those comments.....it's good therapy!
Momma Kath

Well you know you can get pregnant and it happened early for a reason...
so don't worry your young...
just stop trying and it will happen!
What I heard from a doctor.
I have been trying for a year and have had 1 miscarriage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My DH likes to say "if it happens, it happens,
if it doesn't, it doesn't!"
Whats up with THAT?????????
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


From my MIL the day I had a miscarriage, after
the Dr. had told us to wait at least one cycle
before trying again, "Yeah right.
I had a miscarriage and got pregnant again right away."
Here I am, 6 months post-m/c and still not pregnant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


My sister had the nerve to say to me
"MY GOD sis, you've just got to RELAX about it!!"
This coming from a woman who has
an 11 month old and is 6 months pregnant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


We are sitting in Sunday School at church and the
preschool teacher came in to "recruit" couples
without children to help out.
A guy - with two kids - points to our group and says,
yeah, get them, that's the infertile corner.
Talk about ticked off!
And at church of ALL places!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All of our friends have had at least one unexpected pregnancy.
(One lied and planned the pg bcse her DH didn't want anymore kids!)
My "favorite" comment is
"We get pregnant if the wind blows, we're very fertile."
Thanks for sharing.
The tips from people who get pregnant
on the first try aren't very meaningful either
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Oh, because of your age,
I didn't think you would bother
trying again after your miscarriage".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My husband and I have been ttc for 5 years.
I have read all of the comments on your page
and have been told almost all of them.
Here's a couple that have been said to me by my husband's family.
  • From his mother, "I can't imagine the two of you
    as parents anyway so don't try so hard."
  • From his grandmother, "God must not want you to have
    children or you would have already had one.
    And I wouldn't try adoption either because
    you must not be ready for children."
  • You would think from them comments that we are
    irresponsible kids instead of self supporting
    responsible people in their late 20's and early 30's!!!
    Finally I hear from my mother,
    "You are going to have one, you just have to believe it."
    Very well intended but not the least bit helpful.
    Sorry for the long email.
    I guess your ttc annoying comments rang too true.

    Thanks,
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    When my former college roommate got pregnant,
    the first thing she said to me was,
    "Oh you don't know how awful it feels to be so sick!"
    Ever try taking chlomid, you little twit?
    The second thing she tells me is she's going to
    send me her copy of "What to Expect When You're Expecting"
    so that her pregnancy will "rub off" on me.
    Yeah, that's how pregnancy works allright.
    Maybe if I just stand close enough to a pregnant woman,
    I'll catch it too!
    What an idiot! I don't talk to her anymore.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    My girlfriends that have children and aren't in relationships,
    or some are..say.
  • "You Want kids......You can Have mine".......
    How could they just "give them away".....
    When for us...its so hard to even get one!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    When my husband and I went home in September to my in laws house
    (his parents :).. we live in Missouri, they live in Michigan, )
    we had a lot of people to see and visit with on a short amount of time.
    Also, my sister in law is pregnant and is due if Feb, and lives
    in hawaii and is coming home this week. So one morning after a
    long night of visiting and catching up with old friends,
    my mother in law asked me what i wanted to do...
    i told her that i wanted to relax....
    then she had the nerve to say:
    "well arent we a little boring today.
    I'll just have to have fun
    with the pregnant one when she gets home!"
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    is when you see someone who you know is not married and you ask them how
    they got pregnant and they say that they were "on the pill". Argh! And I
    just want to say to them, well that's funny I've been off the pill and still
    am not pregnant, wonder how that works that you got pregnant "while" you
    were on it?
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    I love my best friend with all my heart but
    the other day on the phone she asked me
    "Are you pg yet? I'm going to ask you
    that every time I talk to you".
    Then she went on to say that she had to
    go on BC again because
    she gets pg soooo easy.
    She concieved the first month
    she went off BC she now has a 4 month old.

    I'm a twin and my sister who is on lots of drugs for epilepsy
    recently got pregnant accidently and the baby died
    due to the medication she was on.
    Her words to me were...
    at least I know I can get pregnant.
    Then proceeds to tell me
    (not knowing my DH and I will be starting clomid)
    that women who take drugs to get pregnant aren't
    really having a baby as a gift from God
    and that mulitple births that come from
    these pregnancies aren't true twins
    because God didn't produce them but a drug did.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    "You know, after the house comes the baby."
    Because my eggs now realize there is a
    mortgage to pay?

    And the ever popular:
    "once you stop trying, it'll happen".
    I HATE THAT!!!!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    I've heard the same annoying comments you ladies
    have. Me and my husband have been pregnant
    three times. All ectopic. The first was in
    97' the last one being January of this year
    (2001). I have been preg with my younger
    sister. She had a baby boy at the end of that
    year. I was preg with my twin sister.
    She had a baby girl at the end of that year.
    This year I preg by myself and still had
    nothing but heartache. A cousin of mine who
    didn't want a baby as much as I wanted one,
    got preg and had a baby boy. Another cousin
    had a daughter. A co-worker was preg, another
    co-worker whose wife and I were trying, got
    preg (exept that's okay because she had as
    much problem getting preg as I did and had to
    go the IVF route) Another co-worker,
    who was on his fifth child, had another one.
    Talking about adding insult to injury.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



    my sister asks me every month,
    "is there a baby yet? why not?
    tell your husband to try harder.
    I am tired of waiting for you to have one.
    you need to have more sex.
    i need a baby
    (meaning needs me to have one)

    my FIL told dh that he was shooting blanks
    and made a joke out of it at a family reunion,
    and told him he would show us how it was done,
    I was mortified. He even asked me if DH knew
    what he was doing. After dh had surgery to
    correct his problem, he said in front of the
    family, that i better keep my legs crossed or
    I would get knocked up.
    aren't we trying for a baby?

    I am surrounded by idiots.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    my mom told me the other day that I had to have a
    baby before she dies and if I don't she will
    die unhappy, and she has waited her whole life younger, AND maybe my younger sister will have
    one before me at this rate.
    My sister is 16 and I am 25

    I confided in a very old long distance friend
    about our problems ttc. I had only told very
    few people ad was just trying to deal with it
    myself. This was the response. "well maybe
    you should get the hint, that now isn't the
    time to have one, you must have money problems
    or something and you must need to get your
    life together, because God is obviously saying
    that you are not ready, so figure out what is
    wrong in your life and fix it. I am shocked
    you would consider having children at all
    knowing what the world is like,
    I think it is very selfish."
    Thanks for the support.....
    I have the love, money, time, etc for a child,
    there is no smoking, drinking, etc and I am a
    volunteer. the only thing I lack is a child,
    maybe i should get divorced go on drugs go
    bankrupt and become a prostitute,
    that seems to help your chances.

    My best friend has a daughter that i worship
    as my own, she knows how hard my dh and I have tried.
    One day I was talking to her for the first time openly about how heartbroken I am.
    She had the nerve to say that I was "ungrateful for the wonderful husband
    that I had and I must not be satisfied with my marriage,
    and that is why i must want one so much."
    She also said I was not sensitive to her
    feelings because she would rather be married
    than have a child and that, I should know that
    she was jealous of me for not having a child,
    and how "hard" that was for her. and I only
    thought children were so great,
    because I don't have one.
    GROW UP!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



    I am the only person in the circle
    I grew up in without a child.
    I am so tired of them telling me,
    "you'll undertsand when you have your own."
    Or "being pregnant is the most wonderful experience,
    there is no way you could possibly understand the joy."
    Thanks for pointing that out,
    I am sure I didn't know that it must be
    wonderful to be pg,
    especially after trying so long.
    They always make me feel like they know some
    secret that I don't,
    or belong to some secret society,
    that I can't understand.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Thanks for the chance to vent!

    I was at a convention and saw an old friend who
    got married several months after dh and I, she
    just had her second child. She asked me how we
    were doing and of course said, "When are you
    two having children?", "I thought you would
    have by now.". etc, I told her we planned on
    it, making it clear it wasn't for discussion,
    I am tired of explaining to people. Then she
    had the nerve to "scold me". I quote, " Being
    a mother is the most wonderful thing you can
    do with your life, if you go your whole life
    without ever being a mother, you will regret
    it, there is nothing more important you can do
    with your life, I love being a mother, my
    daughter is the most wondeful thing that ever
    happened to me." I said yeah I know, that's
    great etc. She replied, "You're not getting
    any younger, we already had our first, don't
    let me have another one before you do, now
    really when are you having one?"
    I wanted to slap her,
    that is only some of the dumb stuff she said.
