Thank God for glow. I've found a community full of women who know the ttc with infertility struggle. As for the women in my life outside of glow... well, I'm just going to take a minute to vent. I HATE HEARING THE PHRASE "quit trying so hard" or "just let it happen". I want this SO bad. My husband and I both yearn to become parents, and their advice to me is to just give up??? And WHY ON EARTH do they think I haven't tried that!?!? Do they truly think that in ALLLLL of my sexually active years I was trying to concieve? If I thought it was possible for me to get pregnant without trying, I would have me a slew of kids by now!

But oh the LAST thing I want to hear is, "here, you can have mine". Do I even need to explain what is wrong with that phrase? well I will anyway. First of all, they say that and they don't mean it. They would never in a million years come off of their children. Anyway, I want my own. I'm not against adoption, but I don't want to miss out on the pregnancy experience. I want to know what it's like to feel a baby kick. I want to feel the struggle of being pregnant, even the pain of delivery. I want the WHOLE thing. And it never fails, I always hear these things coming from my sisters. The ones who just randomly decided one day they wanted a baby and found out three weeks later they had concieved. If you don't know what you should say, then just hush. Undoubtedly, if you don't know about infertility, then your probably going to say something entirely unhelpful....

Thank you ladies for understanding.
