#4: I know someone who tried....

We have all heard the stories about so-and-so who tried this-and-that, and BELIEVE me, when an infertile gets to the point of calling the doctor they have tried everything that is published on the web about getting pregnant.

They tried:

Getting drunk.

 

Going on vacation.

 

The pregnancy diet.

 

The timing method.

 

The ovulation kits.

 

The pillow under the butt (and maybe even a handstand or two).

 

ALL positions that anyone else tried and achieved success.

 

Laying down for hours after the "process".

 

Laying with their feet propped on their head board in order for gravity to help.

 

Reading the books about how to get pregnant. And about how to NOT get pregnant.

 

Drinking the tea that their great aunt Florence said, "always worked for them".

 

Performing the act every-single-day of the month. (Or every other day.)

An infertile will probably smile politely and thank you for your advice. They may also snap back, "Tried it. It didn't work."  (One of us, the one without much tact might even snap back, "yes, and it obviously worked because I am currently 17 months pregnant with triplets!")
