"It's your turn next" by one more inconsiderate jerk, I think I'll punch someone. Because oh yes, it is just that simple. It's always people who have no fertility problems who say stuff like that too. Get a clue, your idea of picking me up is pretty convoluted.

Even better my mother of all people likes to tell me to "suck it up it'll happen when it happens" I just love that one.

I loved it when one of my co-workers brought her newborn in for a visit, and as I was holding him another co-workers said "Doesn't that make you feel ready to have one?"

That sucks, my mom is very cool about it. It's my mother in law who doesn't get it. DH has talked to her about it, but all she can think about is being a grandma. You know what statement I love even better? "Try not to think about it, and it will happen" Pfft, whatever. You have your heart ripped apart every month and then tell me how easy it is to just not think about it.

It is funny how that question can hurt so bad. I hate when people ask that because they don't know what I am going through. If you don' t know someone's situation you should never ask that. Someone here said the next time they were asked when they were going to have a baby they were going to answer with you'll have to ask God, my RE, my staff and my OB/GYN that question that next time you see them. I think I might start using that one.

Hi, I heard all of those just today when I had a melt down at work.... My best friend is pregnant - wasn't trying just got engaged and went off the pill - 6 weeks later she's pregnant....... I'm happy for her - really I am... I cannot stand it when she says - it's just not your time yet, it will happen.... Stop worrying about it and it will happen etc.... I feel your frustration!

The one I love is . You are trying to hard when you stop it will happen just stop thinking about it. Or they make you feel weird when they tell you some one is pregnant and they say oops I did'nt know if I should tell you. its like they think that you hope the whole world will stop having babies because I have fetility issues its like don't worry I am happy about it.

people are incosiderate to other peoples feelings. most people are blind to what others go through. i have many inconsiderate people in my life but you have to take their comments with a pinch of salt... and yues it is always the ones with children or pg

I know how you feel! I also hate "if you stop thinking about it, it will happen." I just want to say... After 5 years and finally the answer, just relax --- SLAP!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
