    After all the failed IUI cycles we are now starting IVF, I am sick of people asking and I don't really want to talk about it so when people ask I just tell them we are having a break - every single one of them responds with "well now you will get pregnant". This is even from people who know not to use the relax line.

    My friend got pregnant with triplets on the pill (that was a fun bit of news) and her partner always says to me laughing - "you can have one of ours" - he thinks it is HILARIOUS, the fact that I didn't ever want him to even know about us also really hurts. It makes it difficult because you know you can't tell some friends because they just go straight home and talk to their partners. You can even imagine them saying to eachother "its because they think about it so much blah blah blah".

    The most frustrating comments I have encountered:

    * the famous "stop thinking about it and it will happen"
    * "Once you have your first, the others will come really easy" - let me just focus on the first and then I will worry about the others if any!!!
    * "Your life will never be the same after kids" - that is the whole point!!! DH and I want a child to add more happiness to our life.
