While I am beyond happy and thrilled for everyone who "let's go and it just happens " for, not all of us can or will have that happen for us. Some of us have tried that, yoga, fertility meds, giving up, standing on our heads after sex, and many other things over and over again, suffered losses, failed <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> cycles, emotional break downs and tried walking away, relaxing, giving up, namaste, etc. and it doesn't "just happen." I love to celebrate with every one who is so fortunate and blessed to have this happen for them. It is truly awesome. But please don't give "just stop trying and it will happen" or "just relax" as advice.

Any amount of time spent ttc without a successful pregnancy is hard. I don't care if its been 3 months, 12 months or like me, 12 years. No one should ever make a woman feel guilty about finding ttc difficult and needing a safe place to vent or find support. Let's not be bullies. There are enough in the world.

If you have one baby or 10 and you long for another one and it doesn't happen quickly for you, you are allowed to be sad and discouraged. Stop telling each other that "you're lucky you have one already#. I understand how difficult it is to watch a woman with a house full complain about trying for another when you don't even have one yet but try to see things through their eyes. A womb that is longing for life is universal.

Lets support each other. This is our safe space to come, laugh, cry, complain, vent, ask questions, get answers and get support. If you're having a bad ttc day then post about it. If you see someone is happy about that ewcm, dang it, celebrate with them. Sometimes and for some people like me we are all we have.
