How do you deal with people who don't know what they are talking about?
Ok so my husband and I have been ttc for just over a year. I have been talking to my sister and everyone around me about my woes. They are great for listening but they try to tell me that its not that hard to get pregnant and we just haven't reached our goal because the timing isn't right or because we only have a 25% chance each time as it is. I know all of that is true, but has anyone else just wanted to yell at theses people who take for granted how easily and quickly they conceived when you are having issues? I love my sister dearly and all but she conceived both my nephews while her and her husband were separated and were still sleeping together. I understand that she too deserves to be happy, but when will it be my turn? I have a loving husband and a wonderful relationship. We wouldn't be bring a child into a broken home to begin with yet we are the ones having issues? Its just not fair and don't really know how to tell her I don't want her advice and just want her to shut up and listen every now and then. I don't want ANYONE who got pregnant easily talking to me about it, because they will never know the heartache that those of us who are trying go through.
So sorry for the rant, but how would you handle this in my situation?

I hear ya! It took my husband and I about a year and a half to get pregnant the first time. Throughout that time, 3 of my close friends got pregnant after only trying a few months....I wanted to scream "IT'S NOT FAIR!!!" It is difficult to find someone to talk to. Even my husband kept telling me that it would happen eventually, and that it just wasn't our time. I didn't want to hear that from anyone, especially him. Seeing all our friends get pregnant just made it worse too. However, through several doctor's visits and some testing, I got on fertility drugs and then eventually became pregnant. (Something you may want to think about now that it has been a year since you first starting ttc.)
So....just remember that there are others out there like you and we pray for all those good people that are trying to have babies too! And...I know it's hard to be happy for others who get pregnant at the drop of a hat, but it's something we have to do for their sake and our own.
Good luck to you!

I'm soo sorry to hear about that. My husband and I have only been TTC for about 4 cycles, and I really thought it wouldnt be this hard! I talked to my doctor about it and he said the same thing... Timing, timing, timing... Duh! We all know that. But I wonder too how some girls can just get pregnant, while others who desperately want a baby, cant... Its not fair... I mean, when I was in high school, girls got pregnant ALL the time... Even a 15 year old girl I knew... And just the other day a friend was telling me about a girl she knows got pregnant with a guy just so he wouldn't break up with her... How can she just get pregnant?? It breaks my heart for everyone TTC. Maybe God is just putting us through this to make us stronger.... I really hope your time comes soon. Best of luck and baby dust!!! xxx

I'm sorry, it is hard, I know I have only been TTC for 5 months and it feels like forever to me, I can't imagine what you are going through. The best thing is to just not talk about it with them, if they bring it up, change the subject. Sometimes just talking about it makes you stress out and that can be a major factor in ttc. I wish you the best and tons of baby dust to us both!

Everyone has an opinion and they will voice it. By discussing things with them you are letting them in to give their opinion. The only ways to handle this is 1. Tell her you just need to vent and you don't want advice or what not, 2. Don't discuss it with her. I'm very sorry for your troubles and hope you are blessed soon.

First off, you can't stop the advice, I'm sorry but people will always put in their two cents.
And secondly, stop talking to them about issues they could never understand.
And thirdly, you appreciate something more if you actually work for it.
If you don't want certain peoples advice, then do not speak to them about your issues. You can't change them, I wouldn't even waste my breath trying.
And it sounds like all this is breeding bad blood between you two.
Lot and lots of baby dust.

first of all Stop discussing with those who are really close.. TTC is a very sensitive issue.. and I can understand you must be under lots of stress..
when you talk to others they wl give you their advise or suggestion and during these times you tend to be very sensitive and whatever others says wl comes as insult.. so try to avoid taking.. and try y! answers, even though strangers lots of ladies here are in same boat and others gives really good and reliable advises..
good luck.. and loads of baby dust..
