When someone tells you that you just need to relax and let nature do it's course when it comes to ttc? I

It drives me crazy.. The only ones who have said are my parents and some of my friends.. The only reason it drives me crazy is cause all my friends have gotten pregnant so easily, and here I am struggling, and then my parents just don't understand what I am going through and how I feel, and I don't want to be rude to them or disrespect them in any way shape or form, but I feel the same that they got pregnant so easily.. I just wanted to get another TTCAL mommies opinion on it.

No one has ever pulled that one on me (lucky for them). I think if someone who had no ttc or pg issues ever said that to me, I would just say, "Easy for you to say," and walk away. I don't really have a lot of patience for people's hurtful and ignorant comments.

It would drive me up the wall, no one has EVER said that to me. Thank God because I would of chewed their ear off! Honestly try to ignor them. Everyone here knows that getting pregnant is work. Hell after all this having the kid is going to see easy (lol). But if they are bothering you, just be honest with them. Tell them that you feel like they have it easier. And it bothers you when they tell you to relax. Sometimes natural doesnt work. Thats why so many scientists have been developing ways to help us.

My mom doesn't know how deep I am into this. She has no idea that I check for O and try to time BD'ing just right. She once was in the $tore and saw OPK's and actually considered buying them for me. If she did, I would have been really insulted. I don't want her knowing how deep into this I am cause that just opens a whole new world of questions. One friend knows about the deepness of this. I kind of introduced it to her. She tried OPKs for 2 months, didn't do a third month and is now pregnant. I think I might take her route soon.

No one else has really said anything to us.

My sister has said that type of thing to me and my DH. She has this superstition that if you name your child before it is born that something bad would happen. The other day she was over to help organize/clean some parts of my house and we had some parts of our baby bed standing in plain view. I wanted to bring it upstairs as that is where the other parts of the bed are it. She again mentioned that I have this superstition bla bla bla and also she said that if it would be me I would feel weird having the bed in the room where the baby (the one we are ttc for) would stay. The bed is not even assembled - what is wrong with storing it there? I do not get it. She might have figured she stepped on my toes but I have not said straight out. I told my DH about the latter the next day and he got upset and said that she either leave her superstition c-r-a-p outside our door or she is not welcome here when I am around in the house. She has never had this issue with TTC and she has 2 girls to show for it (or at least she has not told me otherwise).
