Speech about TTC
A speech about ttc, this speech was passed down, the orginal Nic of the person is unknown, thats how long ago it was.
What Nobody Told Me About Trying to Conceive
-That unprotected sex doesn't necessarily lead to pregnancy.
-That the longer I try to conceive, the more pregnant women spring up around me.
-That deep down inside, I can be a very jealous person.
-That I would know more about the female reproductive system and menstrual cycle than most of the doctors I go to.
-That living my life in 2 week increments would be the normal thing to do.
-That I never knew how much I wanted to see those 2 pink lines...until only one shows up every month.
-That simply relaxing will NOT get me pregnant. The husband has to do some work too!
-That I have no control over some of the goals I set...
-That wishing really hard for something doesn't make it happen
-That a pregnancy doesn't always equal a baby.
-That miscarriage is so common.
-That I would wish we had started trying to conceive earlier.
-That my friends' pregnancies would start to make me sad instead of happy.
-That it wouldn't happen the first time I didn't use birth control like I was led to believe in school.
-That I wouldn't know how important a baby was to me until it took so long, and I realized what I was willing to go through to make it happen.
-That it is insensitive to ask people when they are going to try having a baby! They might be trying and having difficulties just like me!
-That women who do get pregnant are so very blessed!
-That I could have been rich by saving the money I spent on condoms/birth control pills, which were obviously unnecessary.
-That other people's "good news" of pregnancy makes me sad and when they tell me they have good news, I hope that they just saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to Geico.
-That had I bought stock in Clearblue Easy I'd have my mansion on St. Pete's Beach in Florida by now.
-That having my period show up would make me cry, no matter whose bathroom I was in.
-That it does not get easier ... each cycle is harder than the last.
-That I wouldn't want to hold or see someone's baby because it just hurts way too much.
-That a group of "strangers" who I will probably never meet, have now become my "best friends" when it comes to trying to conceive.
-That talking about sex with fellow women who are trying to conceive would be so easy.
-That one day all of this will make me stronger.
-That I would have NO TOLERANCE for pregnant women's complaints about morning sickness, weight gain, etc.
-That no one I know would have any understanding as to how I feel.
-That my temper and patience are much shorter than I ever thought.
-That infertility is not as rare as I was led to believe.
-That I am very bitter towards unmarried accidental pregnancies, and slightly bitter towards married accidental pregnancies.
-That some people just say the wrong things.
-That I would be so sad and ashamed.
-That when my period shows up I would feel broken and dysfunctional.
-That my friendship with my real life girlfriends would suffer because they got pregnant after being off the pill for 3 weeks.
-That this would be, by far, one of the hardest things I will ever have to go through.
-That I HAVE to have sex even though I don't feel like it, but because my fertility monitor says HIGH or PEAK.
-That I would meet such a wonderful group of people online, that I can share my sorrow, frustration and fears with.
-That I would feel stupid and naive for thinking a pregnancy would occur "when it was supposed to".
-That answering questions (and usually lying) about pregnancy or family plans would hurt so badly
-That one day, all of this will be in the past, and you will be able to share your experience with other women, and give them hope.

Thanx for the fantastic post. I t has just made me feel normal coz at any given point I`m ( we all are) going through some of the things in the speech and it just makes me feel like I`m going insane. I kept my second pregnancy private and only told my family and two close friends. I didn`t tell my friend who was pregnant at the time and when she went into labour she called me to drive her to hospital, ironically, that was the first day I started bleeding with my m/c, I had to really work hard to supress the green eyed monster. I still feel terrible about but its nice to know that some people feel that sometimes.
Great post. I know I have had days where I felt just about every one of those things. Even now I worry about being on here while pregnant because I would never want anyone else to feel sad. Thanks for sharing!!!
it is so true and so hard to read, because somewhere in me, as happy as I am for friends that get preg so easily, there is a part of me I didn't realize was there that I can actually be jealous of them, and yes sometimes angry that it is not happening for me, when i think we prove what good parents we will be by trying SO hard for SO long. We just have to remember this when our children are teenagers and well acting like teenagers!!!
Thanks for posting it Latrice, you really have some good reads!

Thanks for posting Latrice, I know exactly what you mean about feeling like some feel more accurate than others. For me it's about not being as close to my very good friend because she gives birth in 2x weeks..and about how I've never thought of myself as a jealous person, but I am at times.
everytime i read that Bam, i shed a tear bcuz i may not be going threw all of them at once but at some point in my ttc life i feel like one of those phrases. Like now i jus feel as if ttc is getting harder instead of easier
I loved that, couldn't have put it better myself. I do believe God brought us all together for a reason.
