I was about ready to invest in a t-shirt that read "If I'm pregnant, then I'll tell you".
Pretty much all of my friends and family knew that we were hoping to
start a family, and so the onslaught of well intentioned but
unsolicited advice started coming...I should drink more water, I should
buy vitamins from Hawaii
and remember to take them three times a day, I should lay off the
exercise, I should exercise more, I should monitor my body temperature
a dozen different ways and times during the day. I should drop
everything, hole myself up in a hyperbolic chamber with occassional conjugal visits from my hubby...
So, in your face overly invested bad advice givers...seems like the ole recipe of time, patience and forgetting what day it is on your ovulation calendar is what worked for us!!! And justly, in my
face for learning the hard way that if you really want to keep
something private, then you can't talk about it all the time and you
can't really fault people for caring because individually they
don't realize their advice is contributing to the procreation
pressure you've put upon yourself.
For what its worth, I did pay the $75 for the "herbal" fertility vitamins from Hawaii. I have two bottles left, they are up for grabs. I've traded up for Mylanta and GasX.
