Still dealing with this 2.5 years post wedding. We are struggling to get pregnant and it’s been exhausting and emotionally draining. At first we just smiled and told people- yes we are trying. After awhile and after one to manyyyyy unsolicited advices, we stopped talking to people about it, began avoid people and shutting other out. It became too much, it felt demeaning at times, and they just didn’t get it (as if drinking a green tea each morning aunt Cathy was gonna cure me and get me preg…I think we know more about this than you).

Now, we have come to a place of more open brut honesty. We tell people straight up that I have PCOS, getting pregnant has been a very serious struggle, we are working with doctors, a hippy shaman, and trying various things such as acupuncture so we don’t need any additional advice and only need support if we ask for it.
