SIL and MIL won't shut up about me having a baby!
I'm glad they are excited about it, don't get me wrong, but I am not even pregnant yet! DH and I have been trying and I made the mistake of telling MIL and SIL (advice: don't tell anyone you are trying!).
On Thanksgiving, SIL made a comment along the lines of "Christine's never going to have kids." Now, she makes this comment at every holiday dinner which is 1 of the reasons I dread going to DH's family's house for holidays. But when you know someone is trying to get pregnant, why the F would you say something like that!?
Not only that, but she knows I have had issues with uterine cysts that could cause me to have issues. I just think the comments are BEYOND insensitive.
She has a baby (unplanned) & I feel like she is always throwing it in my face because she didn't have any problem getting pregnant.
Then you have MIL who is always asking where her grandbaby is.. like wtf.. Idk where the baby is.. I am trying, dammit! 
You know what you can do?
You know what you can do? Tell them you've changed your mind, that you and your husband have decided to wait until you've paid down your debt, finished school, bought a car, etc., just find some excuse to tell them you've decided to delay having a baby for the near future.
That way the pressures off.
I agree, this is an
I agree, this is an appropriate response without being mean to them.
I like this idea! I am
I like this idea! I am definitely going to think about that! Thanks
Tell your SIL that she can be
Tell your SIL that she can be your surrogate since she is in such a hurry! I have PCOS too so I understand what you are going through. Took me 2 years and the only thing that got me knocked up was being on Chlomid and Actos (diabetes meds that for some reason make you regular).
Good luck, I hope that it happens for you soon!
Hi, I have pcos but am a thin
Hi, I have pcos but am a thin cyster i have higher levels of androgens...does that make me a man lol. Anyways, I got an ultrasound done back in may and apparently all the cysts are gone...what has screwed up my cycle is the mirena iud.
Thank you! I don't know why
Thank you! I don't know why she cares so much when SOMEONE ELSE has a baby. She needs to get a life!!
She doesn't understand what I am going through at all- she has never had any medical issues & like I said, her baby was unplanned so God knows how long it took her to get pregnant- she thinks it just happens quick & easy but that's not always the case!
That's what I normally say is
That's what I normally say is just that we will let you know when it happens.
MIL and SIL are not the smartest cookies but I do think they know what they are doing.. They know about my cysts issue and everything so they have to know it could take a while.. Not only that, but I have a higher risk of miscarriage so I don't even know that I want to tell them right away when/if it does happen because God forbid something go wrong & I have to explain it to them all.
Hahahahahahahahaaaa!!!! I
Hahahahahahahahaaaa!!!! I was going to respond in this vein - you got there before me!
That's hilarious!! Of course,
That's hilarious!! Of course, MIL and SIL assume it's my fault because DH already has a kid & I don't.
Take DH by the hand and say "
Take DH by the hand and say " Sweetie, let's go! Let's make a baby right this second!" Then stay in the bedroom for a few minutes and let them wonder
I love embarrassing insensitive people!
LOL!!
LOL!!
I am sorry your SIL, is
I am sorry your SIL, is jealous of you...her reaction is a jealous one.
I too have a condition called PCOS, and did have cysts ALL over my ovaries...after having the mirena IUD out(had it in for 4 years)..they are all gone...But my periods are very scant now and I know i havent released an egg(its been about 10 months)I do have a DD 5, but it took me a while to get pregnant...mind you I wasnt tyring, i just was being an idiot and thought because i have a condition i wouldnt get pregnant "thought my ex was the one, lost my V to him" blah blah lol-and it took almost 2 years, I tried chastetree, because I was sick of the meds-aldactone & provera-to bring on my period. Now it kind of comes when it wants. Me and SO arent actively trying to have a baby but were not doing anything to prevent it from happening and its been 10 months....still not pregnant.
Sometimes these things take time, you can always look into trying clomid to help you ovulate or even supplements, but make sure you are under the guidance of a holistic practioner-if you do choose to go that route.
My issues are directly related to the Mirena Iud-Period comes every 45 days, have not ovulated, get anxiety attacks, weird menopause symptoms, bruising easy.
I have heard that having an hysterogram?-where they put dye into your tubes to see if there is blockage-has helped women conceive( the dye unintentionally cleans your tubes for you).
Perhaps even laproscopy if you say you have cysts on your uterus..
Things happen for a reason, and even if it may take longer than normal have every hope it will happen to you!I research the hell out of things as I am afraid the IUD made me infertile.
Best of Luck!
Thank you! The last thing I
Thank you! The last thing I had done related to the cysts was a hysteroscopy/D&C back in June.
Since then, I have had blood work done to check my fertility levels - not sure what the medical terminology is, but my doctor did say my #s are normal.
In addition to the cysts, I was on the pill for well over 10 years. Currently, I am getting period but they are about every 40 days or so (right now I am cycle day 43 and no period & negative pregnancy test).
My doctor wanted to prescribe me provera but right after I got the prescription, I started getting periods again (just irregular). I have asked for clomid but they will not give it to me yet. I have been thinking of seeing another doctor because I have done research on clomid & would like to give that a shot.
I don't know why these things happen to good people who want children!
Anyway, I hope you are able to conceive again & am also glad you were able to get pregnant with your DD!
Look on the bright side. When
Look on the bright side. When your bundle of joy comes, you will have free babysitting service at your beckon call! Now unless your MIL has no olfactory senses like my mother and doesn't mind changing poopsplosion diapers, they better watch out for what they wish for!
Better yet, give me your inlaws address, I'll send them BD for a day. She's cute as button but HOLY COW!!! What the heck does she eat!? Uranium?
Haha that is very true!!
