I hate when people say to relax and not stress about ttc. It never works!! Not to mention, the more you try not to think about it, the more it stands out in your mind. I wish people would just stop making comments like that to us. It just makes me stress more by thinking that my stressing is adding to my issues. It's like a cycle of hell. I completely feel your pain hun. And don't worry...we are all stressing about it and thinking about it. Good luck!!

I feel the same way. People tell me all the time, "Don't worry. It will happen. You are still young." And every time I hear it, I feel like they are insulting my feelings, even though I know that it isn't their intention.

I don't know the answers. And I don't know if you can stop thinking about it. It seems to consume you. I just hope that by being here for each other we are able to maintain FAITH that everything will turn out okay. Good Luck! And know that you aren't alone.

That REALLY p*sses me off when people say that type of crap to me. I have to remind myself that most people have NO IDEA what PCOS is or how it even affects a womans body. Even so...it still really irks me. When we're dealing with what we're all dealing with there isn't anything you can do BUT think about it and "try". It's not like we're fertile myrtles and can just lay back and it'll happen.

Thanks guys.I knew I wasn't that crazy.People are just insensitive to our feelings when it comes to things like that.Duct tape would be nice...

Good luck on all of your journeys....

lol...I was just told last week to go on a diet and take 2 weeks off from work to bd and I would get pregnant...If that was all it would take than I would be all over it! I hate it when people tell me that it will happen when I relax and quit thinking about it. I have told them, if I quit thinking about it and taking meds to make me ov, than I will never get pregnant because I don't ov on my own. I am trying not to stress so much about it, I have to remind myself that whether I conceive or not, I have a great life and so much to be thankful for already. A baby would just be an extra blessing to my life.

Good morning,

I did that for about 1.5 years. I was in denial, I did not take meds, did not follow through with my Fertility Doctor and it got me nowhere. When I accepted that I needed help to get pregnant (well, lets just aim on ovulation at the moment), then, I felt a bit more in control. I also feel healthier now that my body ovulates, my period is WAY better (5 days as opposed to 3 weeks). I was bleeding all the time. I know some women with PCOS do not bleed but, I was the opposite.

That's what I keep hearing..."Just lose weight and you'll get pregnant. Just relax and don't think about it. I have a friend who lost a ton of weight and got pregnant on their own". Sure, I lose a little weight, feel good about myself, hear of someone else's pregnancy and the pity party starts all over again. And then I try to tell myself that this is all normal. That I need to take care of myself, keep praying, and it will hopefully happen one day. We know it's hard but keep the faith.

I hate it when people say stupid stuff too... I agree with the other women on here that when people say stuff like, just relax and don't think about it I want to scream. I also can't stand, you're young and it will happen eventually. And these responses generally come from family that know my struggle with infertility. I think they say those things because they dont know what else to say. But I agree that people should educate themselves and be more sensitive. It's not like I would go up to someone with cancer and say it'll be ok, you're young you can beat it. I think I would be way more sensitive to that person's feelings than offering words that they may feel are generic and insensitive.
