Me and my hubby are 4 years of TTC now. And everyone close to us knows it, mostly cause if you know me ... I've wanted to be a mother my whole life. On my first date with my hubby I told him I wanted kids, and if he didnt know if he wanted kids, then to leave now cause I didnt want to fall in love and find out he wasnt sure, and waste a bunch of time. To which according to my husband was the moment he knew he'd marry me someday ... but thats another story.
Now I love my mother, she is my mother after all. But since turning 30 a few years ago, I find that just about every conversation goes like this :
"Are you pregnant yet? You know your almost 35? I worry your going to miss out on something great and you'll regret it forever.
You should have -the hubby- get testosterone injections, it will make him have a billion x more sperm.
You should go to India. You can have IVF done for "cheap" only like 7k instead of 10k or 11k here."
My mom knows I have PCOS and knows how bad I want a baby. But I find that talking to her just makes my blood pressure go through the roof.
Does anyone else have loved ones that just dont understand how hard and difficult this journey is? That make insensitive comments to you frequently .... or Im I the only one this 'lucky'?
