You guys. We're all wrong. It's easy!

[swagger]

One of my husband's coworkers showed up at the bar the other night and made it clear she couldn't drink. You know, her husband "forgot" the condom JUST ONCE and BAM pregnant. 

It happens EVERY TIME like that. Says the woman pregnant with her 5th. HAHAHHAHHA Then the commiseration came from a few other co-workers about how it just took one time! Oh, you got pregnant 2 seconds after stopping BC? Gah.

I had to go to the bathroom so I didn't shoot daggers. 

[kellikans]

ugh. sucks how it's so easy for some people.

I have a friend who took 4 or 5 months to get pregnant. she knows that we started trying right before they did and that we're having some trouble. she makes it a point to tell me how much it sucks being pregnant and that it's not as glamorous as what Pinterest makes it out to be. I don't think it'll be glamorous at all, but I plan to try to enjoy every moment of it. I don't need you telling me how much it sucks when you know we're having issues and it's something that we want so badly.

If only it were that easy.

A lot of the people I know have had their eyes open to the fact that pregnant doesn't always equal a baby. My MIL and SIL just don't get it. (Both got pregnant every time on their first try, MIL with 3 and SIL with 2)

SIL also announced at 3 1/2 weeks because you know she has a "super uterus" and "it would never allow her to miscarry a baby."

:/

I don't think anyone that knows that we are trying even had any problems getting pregnant. The one girl was like "just get drunk! HAHA." This comes from the girl that is barely 30 and wasn't planning on a 4th child. If only it were that easy!

Oh for Pete's sake! People are dumb

[ouokie]

I'm sorry that you had to spend time with insufferable people like that. My mom is that way. She keeps telling me that she just got pregnant while on BCP twice. I'm sitting over here thinking "Thanks mom, but that doesn't really help me". I think people like that don't understand that what they are saying is hurtful and isn't helpful at all. They have also never had experience that comes with actually trying to get pregnant or a miscarriage.

Dude...give me her address...I'm going to go smack a wench!  That is a ridiculous thing to say!!!  Ugh...I'm so hurt FOR you!

My mom recently reminded me that I'm not getting any younger, and "if you don't want children, you really need to do something about it, because (God forbid) you don't want to end up pregnant with a mistake at 40!"

Umm...thanks Mom. You're right, god forbid I get pregnant later, since it's SO FREAKING EASY so far. I nearly flew into a rage, but then reminded myself that they have no idea we're TTC (for this exact reason, right here), so her verbal vomit isn't as malicious as it seems. Still...I was cheesed!

This gives me the angries. Add me to the list of people who will fight for you!!!

I have so much judgement for your SIL awick14.

[daisy]

That's why we haven't told our families we're TTC. MIL got pg very quickly with DH and my SIL was a one time occurrence from what I've been told.
I can't handle people who feel like they can just laugh and say to "not stress" and expect us to magically conceive.

[callmehales]

only my close friends know we're TTC, not our families...and even with them, i don't really talk to them about it much. i've got 2 friends that had no trouble, one that got pregnant even with taking plan B and then 2 who aren't close to trying yet. so either i feel like they have no idea what i'm dealing with because it was easy, or i feel guilty because i think they're thinking "at least you get to try now".

[awick14]

Thanx ladies. We don't talk to any of our family about trying but u just assume they know because 3 losses in it is pretty obvious we want a baby.

My SIL and I used to be way closer then we are now.
