21 Things Women Who Are Trying To Conceive Want You To Understand

Infertility and problems conceiving are much more common than you may think.

Although it may seem helpful, there are definitely a few things you should NOT say to anyone trying to conceive.

Telling us to "relax and just let it happen naturally" just stresses us out more.

Reminding us that "there's always adoption" isn't helpful either.

Also, please avoid telling us "you're still young there's plenty of time".

At this point, we're confident with our decision to have a baby so please stop asking if we're sure we're ready.

Giving up alcohol and caffeine is much more difficult than it may seem!

Fertility issues don't just impact women.

Please don't ask questions about our sex life unless we feel comfortable talking about it.

Sometimes getting pregnant isn't the issue. Staying pregnant is.

Having trouble conceiving a child does not diminish a person's femininity or masculinity.

However, those going though it may feel as though their body is broken or that they're somehow a failure.

The stress associated with trying to get pregnant can have a serious impact on a couple's relationship.

In fact sometimes, sex can begin to feel more like a chore than something intimate and special.

While it can be difficult when someone announces their pregnancy, we are still totally capable of being happy for them!

We know that acupuncture, a healthy diet, and certain sex positions can help us conceive. No need to remind us to do things we've tried a million times.

Just because a couple has children already, doesn't mean they won't have problems conceiving again in the future.

Sometimes all we need is some time to ourselves to recharge.

It can be very difficult to eliminate the negativity around us.

That's why we need a helpful support system around to simply listen with an open heart.

No matter what, there is always hope and no one suffering from infertility should be ashamed. We are stronger than we could ever imagine!
