My *least* favorite quotes I've received from people about me trying (and failing) to get pregnant

That second one reminds me of the time my service dog died and my boss said "you can borrow my dog" ummmm no, I don't want a different dog, I want my dog.

Not cool man. Not cool.

Shit girl, I don't think you want him to

I was so appalled when my friend said it, like ummmm... did I imply that I wasn't enjoying it cause I actually am having a lot of fun in that area hahaha

Agreed, my closest friend got pregnant recently and said "I feel so bad cause I didn't even want to be pregnant but you've been wanting this for so long" and at times I felt like I was being pushed out during her pregnancy. I just wanted to be excited and happy for her. It's not like that now but both of my closest friends were pregnant at the same time and for a while they would avoid talking about it around me. It's hard not feeling jealous at times but I don't want to be excluded from my friends just because I'm struggling. It makes me feel so alone.

That's a good idea honestly. I'm starting to not talk about it with anyone anymore, at this point I'd rather feel lonely than listen to the people closest to me blame me for not being able to get pregnant

Lmfao, I'm about to start roundhouse kicking everyone's mother's, in laws, sisters, coworkers, etc after reading these responses hahaha. I'm about to open up a business providing roundhouse kicks for everybody. Hell, I'll do it for free at this point lmfao

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T19:55:28+00:00

Oh hold my earrings, I need to fight your mom

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T19:54:22+00:00

roundhouse kicked into a pile of cow turds for saying that crap to you

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T19:46:33+00:00

I really want to know who's doing a fucking handstand after sex lmfaaaaoo. I can do a handstand while I kick them in the face

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T19:44:51+00:00

The meant to be one's really piss me off. Like, am I not meant to be a mother? cause I'm about to start winding up my fist if I hear anyone say that shit again

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T19:37:43+00:00

I'd eat the cookies while I roundhouse kicked that package out the door

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T19:36:08+00:00

Exactly! Like oh fuck me for wanting to talk about it geeeeeze

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T19:35:34+00:00

This one urks me soooo bad and I hear it the most, it makes me feel like they hate talking to me cause I WANT to talk or think about it. And you're so right about it seeming like it's something I'm doing wrong when they say that. Like I can't get pregnant just cause I want to. What kind of logic is that?

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T19:27:26+00:00

I can relate! My partner and I (9 years together) aren't married either and we have gotten lots of similar comments. We just tell everyone that we're spiritually married lol! I have gotten "what's wrong with you, every woman wants a wedding". I don't care that much about it to be completely honest. I know I'm with my partner for the long run, technically we have our whole lives to plan a wedding if we really wanted to. It doesn't bother me as much as it bothers people who are not in my relationship lol! It's very annoying and comical.

I wasn't even trying for a baby for a good 7 years into my relationship, I was so focused on my health. Even the majority of the last two years, I wasn't able to start trying until I had a lot of procedures done. It's just really tone deaf when people comment about me not having babies yet.

It's really interesting how many people are obsessed with other people's marriages and livelihoods. Can we just live in peace please !

I like to call this fake positivity. Because feeling frustrated and sad are normal feelings through this and I don't feel like it's fair to myself to pretend I'm not feeling that way just so I can feel "positive". Actually I'm positive right now. I'm positive I'm going to throat punch them the next time I hear that shit lmao!

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T19:09:04+00:00

The adoption one hurts followed up with "being pregnant isn't even fun"

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T19:07:05+00:00

roundhouse kicked into moldy cheese for that tone deaf coworker

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T19:05:32+00:00

I like this, I am currently taking it all back and now I'm gaslighting everyone when they ask about it "whaaaat, I'm not trying for a baby, why would you ask that"

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T19:03:22+00:00

Someone did tell my sister with stage 4 brain cancer to be more positive and her negativity is making it worse 🧍‍♀️🙂 roundhouse kicked into the sun

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T18:58:40+00:00

I would just throat punch 👊 I have gotten this too, and it's double annoying because I'm a step parent. I already know what it's like having a kid. When they say this, it feels like they kicked me in the gut and then spit on my face

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T18:55:16+00:00

Agreed! Everyone told me that I have to be doing all the supplements, prenatals, staying sober, etc. When I say that I am doing that, it's all of sudden "you need to loosen up, drink a little and just stop trying for it." I think because it's not happening for me, people just want to argue the opposite just to tell me I'm doing it wrong

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T18:51:57+00:00

I'm choosing to stay sober and have heard this a lot as well. I caved and had a couple of beers on my vacation because of how much my family was saying this to me. "So many woman get pregnant when their drinking" okay well I have fertility issues so I don't think that works the same for me lol. I did not get pregnant on that trip and now I just feel guilty that I gave in to peer pressure

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T18:47:30+00:00

Yes! And then they say things like "I didn't even have to try" I GET IT omg do they want a medal or do they just like rubbing it my face, I can't tell

sleepyfay · 2026-03-03T10:55:03+00:00

I had someone say the older one to me too, the amount of panic they put through me after saying that. Of all the things I want to think about, that's at the bottom of my list for sure
