I know we all hate "relax.. it will happen." And, "You're only XX years old. You've got time."

But what is it you'd like to hear more of from friends/family/ or even SO?

I'd like to hear more, "I'm around any time you want to talk" {whether you have kids or NOT, I don't and I listen to your baby/child stories, and I enjoy them, honestly}

And-- I know this is important to you.

I just wish people didnt cringe when I comment about anything TTC related and how it can be depressing

We haven't told anyone in real life that we're trying so we can avoid people's unwanted comments. We still do get some though and I'd like to hear people say, "I'm excited for you to have a baby when you're ready. It'll be a wonderful thing!" rather than "You should wait until you are this age, have that job, own this stuff..." That bugs me big time... My DH and I know when we're ready for a baby and we don't need you to tell us otherwise.

Wanna have a girls night? AND NOT talk about TTC!

I wish I'd get more compassion from my family... none of them ever had to try, so they don't understand how hard it really is... *sigh*

I feel like I'm really lucky. My mom went through infertility stuff with her first husband. While their problem was male factor infertility, I still feel like she totally relates to what I'm going through. Sometimes I wish she was stronger though, because I end up soothing her as she cries about my infertility. I don't really cry about my own, so she can't help me the same way. I'm also lucky that my oldest sister went through fertility issues as well. She's a bit over dramatic and gives really bad advice, but at least she knows how I feel. She's 16 years older and went through treatments almost 20 years ago. Things have changed a lot since then and as a nurse she should realize that. Instead, she seems stuck in the past and tells me how things were then. My other sister has no clue how I feel and admits to it. She's offered to listen anytime I need to talk and she doesn't ever say the lame things other people say. She's had a bunch of friends with fertility issues, so I think that's helped her understand that she can't understand. Since i've opened up to a lot of my friends, they too have shared their infertility stories. We stand in the locker room at the gym ranting about the medications we're on and how crazy we are My "infertile" friends and I recently had a night out with out TTC talk. We had lots of fun and lots of drinks

I would love to actually have RL friends that wouldnt get the glazed over I really dont care look when I talk about TTC. Also it would be nice if my mother actually was supporting of us TTC. She knows how hard infertility can be...they took 8 years after me to have my sister....but for some reason she thinks we should wait alot longer and she definitely doesnt think we should be getting Medical Assistance. But hey we know whats right for us and we are going for it!! We cant wait to be parents!

I wish I would get more interest in more grandchildren/nieces or nephews from DH's family. My family has been asking about #2 since AJ was still under a year I think. That is why my IL's don't know we are trying. At Easter my SIL had a mostly one sided convo with me about how it is best to wait and she didn't remember most of her seconds firsts because she was so busy having two kids. And that having her second being 4 when her third was born was much better and that we should wait at least three years to have another. Well geez - it wasn't PLANNED to wait 3 years, but as it is going, AJ will he almost three by the time we have a baby (maybe 3 or older if the next couple cycles don't work).

ETA: My friends with kids AJ's age all know we are trying having problems and they have sympathy for me because some of them had issues too. But what they don't also know is that now that they are having their seconds, it is bothering me and makes it hard to go to playgroup and see all of the new babies and wondering when I will have another.
