Give up
I can't do it anymore...All the people asking about kids, the poas, opk's, analysing every twinge. It's fucking shit and I give up.

Trying is awful. Having to have sex is awful.
How to Speak to Someone Who is TTC
… coming from someone who is ttc. TTC = trying to conceive in case you were wondering. Not everyone knows about it! First, the do not’s:
don’t say anything along the lines of “You don’t have to try to get pregnant! It will just happen!”
don’t suggest adoption. You know they’ve thought of this if they’re having trouble and it’s not a good idea for you, as a third party, to bring it up. Adoption and having a biological child of your own are very different.
don’t say, “Oh you want kids? Take one of mine!”
don’t tell them about how easy it was for you to get pregnant. It doesn’t make them feel any better, it makes them feel worse. Like they’re broken and/or less than woman/person.
don’t tell them to relax. It’s easier said than done, and you’re probably making their blood pressure rise a little by suggesting it.
“leave it up to God! He has a plan for everything!” …. ….. no. I’m not religious, and the person you’re saying that to may not be, either.
don’t ever say, “Who wants kids? The best part about being an aunt/babysitter/nanny is that you can spend time with kids and then send them home for their parents to deal with! You’re there for the fun part!“ ..or anything even remotely like it. We’re trying to conceive because we want to deal with kids, the good as well as the bad!
“Maybe try losing a little weight? My cousin’s neighbor’s goldfish lost weight and got pregnant right away!” … we all know why this is also a bad idea!
“Don’t worry, you’re young! You’ve got lots of time!”
Good things to say!
“You’re going to be awesome parents!”
“I’m here if you need to talk!”
“I can’t wait! I’m rooting for you!”
If they’re struggling:
“I’m really sorry you’re having to go through this. I can’t possibly understand because I haven’t been there, but I know it’s really hard for you. If there’s anything I can do or say to help, you just let me know.”
If you’ve got anymore, please add to it!
-a FYM admin that is ttc
THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY ACCURATE THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS wow
Also, don’t say things such as “oh well I can always carry them for you if you can’t” thanks, but that’s seriously not what I want to think about.
This time last year
I was thinking “I’ll definitely be pregnant this time next year”
Fml.
Yes.
The hardest thing about ttc is going to family bbq's. Turning up and acting haply around everyone's babies and toddlers. Trying to be calm when someone asks you about your plans and so you talk about how having twins would be amazing. You say these things to keep the smile on your face and so you won't break down but then some one else starts talking about how hard it would be. News flash: I dont fucking care how hard it is. I dont want to sit there and listen to you say that when you have a little person in your arms. The pain I am feeling inside right now, every day, is the hardest thing in the world. Why can't anyone understand that?
"It'll happen when you least expect it!"
Oh, yeh? You know what else will happen when you least expect it? Getting knocked the fuck out the next time you tell me that.
A reminder for all the beautiful people out there who are TTC:
You are stronger than your friends and family could ever imagine.
You take every new challenge and you make it work.
You are a goddess.
Family and friends who tell you to “just relax and it’ll happen” DO deserve to be punched in the face.
You are what it really means to be a mother; you sacrifice your time, your sanity, and your heart to make this dream of a baby your reality.
And it will pay off.
I love you.
I really needed this today. I
BFF
You can always rely on your best friend to ask how you are. Even though you lie and say everything is ok because you dont want to be a burden. It still feels nice to be asked.
R U OK
I am not ok.

Alone
I feel like I have no one to talk to because none of my friends know what it's like to not fall pregnant easily
Me, all day on Sunday…except instead of looking like Jennifer Anniston I looked like a crying ball of mess.
Everyone is fucking pregnant
