The thing that really kills me is when someone says, "Now it's your turn to have a baby." Both of my sister-in-laws are in their 40s and had their only children (they both only wanted one) in their late 30's. They got pregnant the first cycle they tried, one didn't have a single glitch in her pregnancy. The other miscarried the first pregnancy early, then got pregnant the very next cycle and carried it to term. It seems so unfair that people can wait until it's convenient for them to get pregnant and have no trouble, and those of us who start early have so many problems! Ugh!

At 30 I still get a "u have plenty of time..whats the hurry" every once in a while.Its suppose to b a sympathetic comment but its not.Another one is "I'll give u my baby"..no thanx! I dont need charity as of now.I guess they r being nice but actually they dont help since they have not been thro IF.Honestly,the only understanding comments and support I've received so far is from people in this forum.They know ,they feel and they understand.Cheers to us!!!

My favorite - which I just got today. "It will happen when you least expect it, when you let nature take over" - This bothers me so much. Like I am just completely supposed to forget that I want to have children. and then suddenly I will be blessed. Unfortunately, I tell them that is not how it works!!!! and do they really think their comments make us feel better.

I think i've heard it all... from "you need to go on vacation" to "you're still young" to "try standing on your head" . The worst is when people know we've been married for 5 years and say things like "so isn't about time for kids?" Really, I'd like to slap them.

The only real support I have comes from my husband. He's the only one that will listen and knows when to just let me cry. I feel like everyone else is walking on eggshells around me. Like i'm a ticking time bomb or something. it makes me want to scream.

I've been hearing you are still young when i first started TTc close to 5 years ago, now it's has change to when are you going to get pregnent or do you want one of your brother's children, this is being said by my family, my mother right in their too, and you ladies taught you have heard it all!!!

I'll be 21 on the 29th of this month and we are TTC #2. We have been married for almost 4 years and together for 5years.. He will be 25 in August.

We are both pretty old fashioned, which was why we married young. We both wanted a big family which is why we are TTC. We both have good jobs and insurance --... It reallys burns my a** to hear people say "Whats the rush you've got plenty of time!?"

Yea those words upset me so much..dont stress you are so young............soo WHAT..!!! I feel like saying..Grrr......

I almost feel like, when people say that... like they are laughing at me cause tehy think I am too young to be trying. I am only 23, however my mother was 24 and had two kids! I will be lucky if I am pregnant when I am 24!!!!

I have always had so many dreams of having six or seven children (I come from a family of nine), but now I think if I even get one I will be estatic! Infertility never was an issue for anyone in my family, so no one can understand what I am going through... my sister actually just had a baby May 23rd, adn tehy weren't even trying!!!!
