People who don't understand infertility.
I'm so exhausted and honestly pissed about people who don't understand it when I say I cannot have children naturally. I'm tired of people saying "are you taking prenatals?", "just keep trying", I'm thin so I get "well eat more" a lot, the "it sometimes takes time before the sperm reaches the egg"... I release no egg for a sperm to fertilize, I do take prenatals and have for years, I've been trying for almost 2 years, yes I'm lean but I'm very healthy and my doctor had no problems with my BMI, I get "work less" well I work the amount I do because I HAVE to not because I want to... no part of what you say applies to me or makes me feel any better. In fact, it makes me feel worse. I'm a very open person with my friends, family and coworkers. I work a high stress job and the fertility treatments sometimes cause me to take emotions out on my employees involuntarily so I tell them why that happens, in fairness. It may be MY issue, but I turn to the people in my life for encouragement, not to make me feel even worse then I already do about my body being unable to naturally do what it was meant to do- procreate. I do not wish fertility struggles on anyone, but I do wish more people understood the struggle that those with infertility deal with daily. **rant over** I just needed to release frustration.
