Dear All,

Thank you for all of your support on this thread. I really appreciate knowing that I am not alone in feeling these really negative thoughts.

Things aren't getting any better - total corker this morning. I started my period which was a downer anyway and then I checked Facebook and saw a message from my sister - all well and good and lovely to hear from her intil the final paragraph. She let me know that she had been thinking about my inability to fall pregnant and she thinks that if I just lost a bit of weight then I would probably fall pregnant naturally anyway.

Oh, I see. That's the problem then is it? I guess I should go ahead and cancel my next appointment with the consultant then..........

Jeez guys, you couldn't make this sh*t up!!

Love to all xxx

Hoho! Because she is a know all, wise one when it comes to infertility. Im sure you'll get right on that!

I know they mean well, but I can't stand those who haven't ever LTTC, or are a M.D. giving me advice on my journey.

That would really piss me off. It's just as bad as saying "The more you stress the less likely it is going to happen". Seriously? Yes I am a stress head but I know when I get stressed it makes me ill, really ill. So I control my stress and I know how to cope with it etc (took years). Part of my dealing with it is by knowing what is going on so I can be in control (not controlling though) but when people tell me I need to not stress, I get stressed because I can't punch them and break their nose at a family event or in front of the police officer. Lol.

If it was the weight issue then why can larger ladies get pregnant really easy?
I have friends that are 20 stone that have conceived without any issues. To be honest, I have friends that range from a size 6 to a size 30 (UK) that have had no issues getting pregnant, just me. Lol.
