Silly people who don't know anything...

Sorry, girls, but I've got to vent a little! I just got off the phone with my cousin (who really is my best friend, despite what I'm about to say). However, the girl has an almost 1-year-old baby and she knows NOTHING about how the female body works! I mean, seriously, she decided she wanted a baby, got off her BCPs, and was PG 3 weeks later! So, of course, she thinks that's how it should have worked for me, too. She is one of the only ones who knows I'm off my BCPs (I really didn't want to deal with everyone knowing and asking questions about it all the time), BUT she doesn't really know we're TTC. She doesn't really think there is such a thing as "trying"! I really don't think she'd understand it, so I didn't even try to get into it with her.
So, I've been off BCPs for 4 months now, and I think she's convinced I must have a major problem or something. She tried telling me tonight about a pill she heard about that helps regulate your cycle and help you ovulate (I assume she's talking about Clomid or something like it.) She thought I might want to look into it. I wanted to scream! But I didn't. Man, if she only knew how hard all of us here tried. I just wish she knew that just because some people can't just THINK themselves PG, that doesn't mean we're defective! GRRRRRRR!!!! OK, I feel better now. I know you girls will understand, even if no one else does! Thanks for being here for me, girls!

I sort of know what you mean. The only person I told that lives near me is my SIL. She is one of those women who wait till there 30’s to have kids. She seems to think that it’s the only way to go. Sometimes she really makes me mad when she makes certain comments about being too young or something like that. I got my BFP followed by a BFN, and I told her about it. I was surprised when she changed her attitude towards my TTC. Maybe all your cousin needs is some time to get use to the idea that not everybody gets preggo right away. Hope she comes around, but I hope more that you get your BFP very soon.

ps - If you've only been TTC for 4 months, I think right now may be a little premature for anyone to try telling you Clomid is the way to go. If it seems that you're ovulating, it WILL happen for you in due time. Hang in there and keep your spirits up!

I've resorted to telling people that we aren't really "trying", but we aren't "preventing" so, when it happens, it happens... and that seems to get around it for the time being....
Good luck....

So, if anyone out there is trying to decide whether to tell people you're TTC, I'd say DON'T tell anyone - just let it be a good surprise when it happens! :)
