Genius Ways to Get Pregnant


I've decided to continue my theme of  "What NOT To Say To A Woman Struggling With Infertility".  Today, because of this blog, I had a friend reach out to me and share her own infertility struggles.  While I would never wish infertility on my worst enemy, it's always comforting to hear other women's stories.  I especially love to hear when they have a happy ending as hers does!  Anyway, she reminded me of another one of my least favorite "miracle cures" people have for infertile couples.  "Just stop trying and you'll get pregnant" or "Just start the adoption process and you'll get pregnant".  Ohhh yes!  You are an absolute genius!!  I can't believe I didn't think of that!  And how in the world it didn't occur to my Reproductive Endocrinologist, I will never know!  It totally makes sense that NOT trying to get pregnant or starting the adoption paperwork has a complete correlation to my ovaries working!!  Do these people really think about what they say before they say it?  Sometimes I seriously wonder.  Just because you heard of ONE couple (that were more than likely suffering from unexplained infertility) that were able to get pregnant after years of unsuccessful attempts once they stopped trying doesn't mean it's the "miracle cure" for my ovaries not working.
