In the world of infertility it seems that everybody has an opinion on how YOU can become pregnant.  This blog introduces you to some of the most common advice given by "whoever", that has helped everyone else have a child but you.  These are Top 10 Common Misconceptions about Overcoming Infertility:

10. Maybe GOD does not intend for you to have children!- Disease is not the work of GOD.  In the bible, GOD says "to be fruitful and multiply"! Unless someone is reading a different version than everyone else, children are a part of the divine plan.

9. After intercourse, stand on your head!- It may have worked for some, but I have not found the research to support this one yet.

8. Maybe you are not doing it right!- I've seen lots of books on the topic, but this is not rocket science, ENOUGH SAID!

7. Stop trying so hard!- This may be a valid point to some degree, but how can the desire to have children be classified as trying too hard?

6. Maybe it was just not meant to be!- the advice given by those who have children who are out of control.

5. You won't die if you don't have children!- this statement is enough to make you loose control, it's very hurtful and just plain idiotic!

4. Maybe it's in the water? What does this mean?  Are pregnant women drinking from a different water fountain than those who have been trying for years?  This one is just mind boggling.

3. RELAX!- This one must be in the console an infertile friend/relative handbook. However, studies do show that stress can play an important role with infertility.

2. Take a Vacation and IT will happen!- Maybe the vacation is needed to get away from the people that make these comments.

1. You can ALWAYS adopt- Some even offer the suggestion of just tricking the mind about adopting.  People have heard of a select few that have adopted and then had children. Don't adopt if this is not your heart felt intention.

No matter what comments you hear from friends and relatives about how you can overcome infertility, just let it go!  No matter how hurtful the comments may be, remember that these individuals are actually only trying to help.  They may not know your trials and tribulations with infertility.  There is no code of ethics for others to follow that explains what to say to someone going through infertility. No matter what they say and what idiotic advice they give, continue to have faith and believe that you will overcome this disease.
