Lately I've been having baby fever. After being diagnosed with PCOS and the nurse telling me it causes infertility everything in my life seems to revolve around getting pregnant. I want it to happen now.
I am not TTC and I haven't been with my boyfriend for long at all. We've talked about it and he says to never try for a baby because then it'll never happen (oh how I wish I could have his logic).
Anyways I've been putting on my Facebook that I'm ready to start a family and my older sister (who has absolutely NO fertility issues and has 3 kids to prove it) called me yesterday and said, "be careful what you wish for. You could end up like Octomom." I'm guessing she read what I posted because she never calls me and I don't call her.
Of course I just laughed it off, but right now I wish I was the Octomom To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. . Having a baby would calm my nerves and prove I'm not broken.
Why is it that people who don't have issues getting pregnant can always bless others with their "wisdom"?
Anyone else ever feel like telling these fertile Myrtles to just shut up because not everyone biggest fear is parenthood?

Oh God yes, I'd love to tell em all to shut up! That was my entire family telling me "Just calm down! You'll have a baby when you least expect it! Don't rush it, it's a lot of responsibility. Why have kids now?...just enjoy your husband and travel!" Shut UP!! Maybe if I could just fall down, and get up pregnant then their stupid advice might mean something...but right now it's just annoying chatter.
You at least have lots of time to get your perfect blessings. At 31 I feel like the clock is running down. Especially since I'd like 2-3 children, and I have to fit in a Master's degree. But for the foolish family members?...just ignore them. They have no clue, so their oppinions are clueless!

All the bloody time. The next person to tell me to just relax and it'll happen is going to find out just how relaxing a trauma-induced coma is.
HAHA!!! definatley!! I told one "friend" who decided to offer her wisdom on a clomid mood swing day that if she didnt shut up with her foolish 1950's backward pregnancy myths and ideas that i was gonna ram the remainder of my clomid pills where the son dosnt shine :/ oooops

The other day i told an older lady friend about taking clomid etc. and she ventured into the lecture of "have you thought about the chances of multiples, like quadruplets etc." and i felt like, "are you for real? don't you think we thought through everything before pumping myself full of drugs?" Of course i didn't say that because i know that she meant no harm, but it was irritating.

My "favorite" is just relax and it'll happen. Don't they realize that they are blaming you for not getting pg? You don't get pg because you are stressing about it. Argh!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess the best policy is not telling anyone you are TTC to avoid those comments. But you could get others. I had my husband's uncle telling us the day we met, that it was a SIN for us to have such a lovely house and not fill it with children. That we were being selfish. (of course he had no idea)
Sarah, wow. I just appreciate that so much, and I am being TOTALLY serious. I wish I could have thought that one up a time or two...
Clomid is HIGHLY unlikely to give you multiples, people need to seriously educate themselves before they open their mouths.
As much as I HATE it when people try to chime in, I honestly think they are just trying to help. We as women like to solve problems. Grandmothers are the absolute worst, as a forewarning. That doesn't change the fact that sometimes I wished I could just pop somebody in the head To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
The whole "relax" thing is actually good advice though. By that I mean you obviously have to pursue this having children thing, but find something else to focus on as well. Otherwise the whole TTC thing becomes very overwhelming and swallows up your whole life. The more stress you are under the more issues your body tends to give you. Best of luck!
Oh, and the best advice ANYONE can give you about this whole PCOS thing: Educate yourself. There are a lot of medical journal articles here, and people who are very knowledgeable. If you end up knowing more about it than your doc, get a new one.

My mom whom I love dearly and I who I know loves me, is always telling me to be patient! How friggin patient can one person be after 5+ yrs of this and only a handful of actual opportunities to conceive because I've only ovulated a handful of times! I do agree, I know that for the most part people mean well but don't always understand how the comments they make can hurt so much. I'd rather just have them say nothing at all or "I'm sorry to hear this has been so hard for you and your husband" than to offer unnecessary advice!

My mom is the exact same way and of course she was a fertile myrtle with me, my sis and bro being "opps" babies! Any my DH doesnt really get it either, he wants a baby but doesnt think of me as broken like I do. I wish I could have this mindset!
LOL ok try being a lesbian with PCOS trying to conceive, talk about opinions LOL. they are confused enough about how i am going to get pregnant, THEN to top it off, I have to explain clomid to them - someone actually said... well you have less of a chance of getting pregnant because of your lifestyle.....really?? i wasnt aware that being gay made me infertile...

OMG I know....my sister told me the other day that she just wants to get a hysterectomy because she doesn't want to have kids anyway. I wanted to scream out "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!???!?" but we were at a party and I didn't want people looking at me like I was crazy....lol. Then my "friends" always chime in with the advice "be patient and it will happen" or "it will happen when the time is right" -- ummm, how about you just shut up. Honestly the only thing I wanna hear from anyone is "Wow that totally sucks".....can we train everyone to just say that?!?!

I have vowed to never ask anyone when they are going to have children. I have only told a handful of people that we are TTC and I haven't told many people at all about my diagnosis of PCOS. I'm still coming to terms with it myself. My husband and I have been married for five years, so the "When are the kids coming?" question is happening more and more and the people saying it don't know about my PCOS and it feels like my heart rips out of my chest every time I hear the question and can't answer honestly. I get so tired of dancing around and I just want to tell them it is none of their business when someone, other than themself, decides it is time for a child.
I remember the day my younger half sister (who at the time was merely 17 and a bit... told me she was pregnant, and she says
"How do you feel about Me having a kid and you can't? Bet it sucks coz all of ur 3 sisters are pregnant or have kids" and I was like yeah it hurts.. a lot..
Now she's almost 21 and her daughter is nearly 3 and she doesn't really look after her properly!! Makes me mad!!
But recently my mum is like - "You better not be pregnant. don't rush into having kids.. finish your degree first." And I'm like I'm not planning when the baby is coming.. but I hope it comes one day.. and whatever day that is I'll be READY and if I have to put the degree on hold.. TOO BAD. lol
I think it's tough that I'm my mum's baby and she doesn't want me to grow up lol well To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. I'll be 30 next year and by golly I want to be a mum!

I am feeling the same way... I've known I had PCOS for several years, but just got married a few months ago. I recently started thinking I was pregnant and then realized how incredibly unlikely it is and now, of course, I want to be pregnant.
My sis has four kids, who were all "oops" babies. Wouldn't mind that happening...
nearly all my old school friends are carrying ooops babies I keep running into them in town and there there with there bumps and one said "I really dont want him, but I didnt knwo what else to do" they are cluless to my situation but I just went " a baby is a blessing, when he is here you wont be able to imagine not having him". I feel hard done by if im honest and the 2it will happen when it happens" or "It will happen when you least excpect it" well seen as im rattling like a rattle snake right now with vitamins and clomid I dont think I am not going to be expecting it somehow!! stupid ppl lol
