Well, to be honest, I'm not sure what to think of this.

There are lots of women here who struggle to conceive (whether it be long term conception, medical issues, or just frustration at the end of the month).

While your pregnancy may have come easily and unplanned without using strategies that the ladies here may use, I would think a great deal of them are not nearly as fortunate. As you can see, many of them are here for many months, and sometimes have to move to the LTTC forum.

So while it may be easy for you to say "just relax, BD", it makes light of the struggles for the women here. It is simply not that easy for a lot of women, and the struggle of TTC is hard enough without people saying "oh, your stress will just interfere, relax!". Some girls are probably going to be quite upset by this thread, I believe.

I am certainly not bitter to your situation. I am currently pregnant (obviously, from my ticker), and it in fact only took me one month to conceive. That being said, I was very blessed and fortunate (even making it through the threatened miscarriage).

I was already pregnant when I came to BnB (although I was unsure) so I spent a LOT of time browsing the TTC forum. It can be heartbreaking and I really feel for the girls who go through these things. Saying "oh, don't worry, stop stressing and your time will come!" can be hurtful, believe it or not.

Well actually believe it or not, that was NEVER my intention

My post was aimed to try and alievate how frustrated some people may feel and let them know how i think i may have got pregnant.

I never mean't in any way shape or form to hurt or 'offend' anyone - i just wanted to give them some hope, on the other side - don't be so quick to judge - i was trying to help.

TTC and pregnancy, is a very sensitive subject i would never intentially tru and offend someone in regards to this subject.

I feel quite saddened and offended that you thought i would do something like that.

Hm.

Of course, and I know you meant to be positive.

I will let this recent TTC thread speak for itself:
TTC Pet Peeves

It addresses this issue.

"Just know... Were ALL here for the same reason... Be courteous and supportive... Lets all pray for our lil bundle of Joy to come soon..."

That is all i was trying to do. You know i mean't well.

I won't let this turn into a playground fight, all i was doing was trying to help and in no way trying to hurt anyone.

Don't try and penilise me for that.
