I finally did get pregnant after thousands of dollars in ovulation test and pg test strips and a few miscarriages. I have mild OCD and can become obsessed at times but found some things just thoughtless and rude.
I, too, was insulted that it was inferred that if I would "just relax" and "forget about it a while" that I would find myself pregnant in no time. First, when you are wanting a baby you cannot just "forget about it"....especially if the doctor has you charting and taking hormones that must be started at a particular time in cycle. I also had people say that perhaps I was one of those women who thought about it so much that I convinced my body I was pregnant when I wasn't. HELLO....I had blood tests done and exams and WAS pregnant. One miscarriage was at 12 weeks for God's sake. I had seen the baby and heard the heartbeat via ultrasound by then!!
When people told me to "just relax" I would always ask if they knew a good massage therapist, chiropractor, etc and after they went on and on about this person that was SO good........I would say "Great. I would love a gift certificate from there" and walk away.
Good news is....I actually got a few and saved them for use AFTER I conceived, carried, and the baby was born.
