frustrated with my family and TTC - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

So sorry if I start ranting, but I am so frustrated right now!!

My husbands family is all over us about TTC, they are so negative and keep telling us not to try so hard, it will happen when it is supposed to, blah blah blah! The only thing I have brought up to them about all of it is potential baby names, and I have been buying stuff to decorate a nursery which they think is a bad idea.

Does anyone else have people that arent supportive like you want them to be while ttc? How do you deal with it? Im finding that it is just stressing me out more and my anxiety is worsening and it makes me think about ttc a million times more!

thanks ladies, sorry to complain!

btw im new here! Im kaycie

Hey!

Welcome to the boards! GLad you are here..Hope your stay will be short and sweet

I can relate. Except its not so much with the family, its more or less with my friends! They think I am crazy...and tell me I am always trying too hard. Easy for them to say... With my family, they don't discuss ttc with me. My mom doesn't really understand the whole ttc, she got pregnant just thinking about it!!!
Are you close enough with them to tell them politely that they are driving you insane!

hello and thanks!

yah it seems like everyone i know is able to get pregnant just by saying that they want to have a baby!! i think that all of us that are ttc though have the most wanted babies that are out there, thats for sure!!

i am at work right now, and my mil has called me 6 times in 4 hours!! she is getting so irritating and overbearing that its almost unbearable! i did tell her to leave me alone in a nice way, and that she was causing me to have anxiety attacks, but that only stopped her for an hour! ha!

anyways, thanks - good luck to you!

sending baby dust your way!!

oohh, how irritating...well, you found the right place to vent. We are here to "listen!" How long have you been ttc?

kaycie,

I feel your frustration. Mine is also at my dh. We have only been ttc not even a full month yet. We were wrestling around in the living room and I made the comment about not being able to do this when I get pregnant and he had the nerve to say "Yeah if you ever get pregnant". UHM HELLO!?!? It hasn't even been a full month, and I am not the only contributing!!! Ladies, am I wrong to overreact to his comment?
