wow, this thread is like a bit of pressure being taken off!

i spent the journey TTC my DD very much alone. i was told at the tender age of 20 that i was basically infertile due to advance endometriosis and given the 'needle in a haystack' analogy by my then OB/GYN on my chances of conceiving without AC.

throughout our 2 year TTC journey i kept quiet with my mum as early on she made some off-hand comments that IVF was inappropriate and if one 'can't have kids than 'they' should just accept it'. i was so distraught as this was the option we were about to head into and had discussed with our FS.
when i finally told her (after the whole 'when are you gunna give me grandkids speech?') i broke down into tears saying that it just wasnt happening and she replied with: 'well, you should try (and i warn for TMI) 'doggy-style'...like WTF??!!! this was her 'scientific' approach. and yep, now that we are TTC again, she made the same comment last night.

i know that she loves me and only wants us to be happy, but i think that sometimes ppl that havent faced this road can just cut us to the core with mindless comments ITMS
