[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should eliminate stressful situations before getting pregnant, especially with a history of miscarriages.[/quote]

"Dear MIL, I am taking your advice and avoiding stressful situations. Therefore, I will not be seeing you this year."[/quote]

Sounds lovely dear, let me know when you conceive so I can plan a short vacation. Since you won’t be working due to stress,  I’m sure you won’t mind entertaining me for a few months while I bond with my sweet new grand baby. I’m even thinking about selling my house so I can move closer, won’t that be such a joy! Be well and get plenty of bed rest so I can visit soon![/quote]

This is exactly what I feel like she means. As though I need to stop working. As though that's going to suddenly solve my infertility. She literally said the exact words every person that has infertility doesn't need to hear "you need to relax and it'll happen." GOOD LORD. Thanks for that MIL. I ignored all of that and she continued to press after I changed the subject.

As for stress, there is a specific, temporary situation Km going through with my businesses that is stressful right now. It's over in a few weeks. I've made big efforts to make sure this change leads to lower stress. In fact, that circumstance meant I made big efforts to spend literally a day with them despite being busy and that's the thanks I get for doing so.[/quote]
