Did you ever think other women lie to you about.......

[Glitter_Berrie]

Its very awkward and hard to believe women all around me saying oh I was pregnant the very first cycle we tried! Why is it that so many women are saying that these days? Well I'm not falling for that lie anymore I've heard it so much and don't believe it. Its like do yourself a favor, don't BS yourself and all others around you, it doesn't hurt to be honest and there's nothing wrong with saying oh it took a while. Sheesh! Sorry I had to vent it out! Hate lies and especially if it's about ttc right????????

yeah i think they lie don't know why doesn't help anyone maybe it makes them feel like they are better than everyone else. I've stopped talking to people about ttc now apart from on this forum can't be bothered to hear their crap

Unfortunately, no. I don't think many women lie. To be honest, it is unusual to take longer than a year of ttc to conceive. And 50% of all pregnancies are unplanned. Some might say that they conceived the first month, when it actually takes 5 or 6 months. But does it really matter if its 1 month or 5? To us ltttc women, 1 month and 5 is essentially the same thing. They are still completely in the normal range. I doubt many women that are on cycle 30 are going to lie and say it was a 1 time shot.

I'm with readyformore on this one......... I don't think they lie.

Maybe some stretch the truth slightly!!

But there are fertile myrtles out there, some who don't even have to actively TTC.... Lucky Cows!

Must be nice!!

I think they fudge the truth. It sounds the same as that ignorant comment, "All he has to do is look at me and I'm pregnant". Now those young teenagers who get pregnant after their first time, I can believe that.

unfortunately for us...no they don't lol

I went to the place I worked to pick up some paperwork and hang out with my friends and found out that 4 people I know (2 of which supposedly had huuuuuuuuuuge problems and the doctor told them it's IVF now or forget having kids) are currently pregnant!!

so not only did they get pregnant in 2-3 months since they were told to TTC (the other two didn't even try) they also got pregnant while being superStressed about it

 

[wonderstars]

Coming from someone who has had 3 close friends pregnant on their first month or two of trying....it so can be true.

 

[Sparkles237]

I believe some are true and some stretch the truth. My close friend got pregnant considering her and her husband barely have sex, the first time they did it in a month she got pregnant!! i know thats the truth as she rung me the following day to say they finally had sex after so long then next call i get a month later shes pregnant, just so frustrating that 2 years down the line here i am still trying and she does it once and falls pregnant

 

[Glitter_Berrie]

Nope still don't believe that all these women lately have been saying we were prego the first month is true, yes it can happen but its not a "majority success ttc story" you see all over the forums sorry im not stupid! but I'm def NOT believing all these women who are trying to make me jealous

 

[Briss]

what can I say I sort of understand these women, if (or better still WHEN) I finally get pregnant only my close circle of friends and close family would know how long it took and how hard it was, as for the rest (especially my colleagues) my story will be a short one: "that was a complete accident, took us by surprise, can you imagine this one time we did not use a condom and thought we can get away with it!" you can call me a liar (if I ever get there, that is) I do not care, I am not poring my heart out and it is not about making anyone jealous, it is about trust and self-preservation. This is the area of my life where I am absolutely unprotected and vulnerable. One negative comment and I will fall apart. I can be honest here as ladies that go through TTC will understand and wont judge, I can be honest with people I trust but most of my acquaintances are just not trustworthy, they have never been there they cant relate so they just do not need to know.

most of my relatives if they only knew about my struggles would probably say "we told you so, you should have married and have babies in your 20s, what did you expect, you are too old now". I do not want to give them the satisfaction of saying that! as for my colleagues, am supposed to be a career women here, I cant come out saying I do not really care if you make me a partner or not, because even if you do it wont compensate for the fact that I do not have a baby.

sorry am being negative again... just one of those days

I think it really does happen to a lot of women, and they are very lucky.
We conceived our daughter without ttc, shes 2 now and here we are trying over 14 months for our second and im not even ovulating anymore. Its just one of those things I guess. Heartbreaking none the less but some people never go through such a hard ttc journey it would be nice if they didnt go on about it though granted! lol xx
