    Everyone is putting pressure on me for a baby.
    Due to many personal and health issues, my TTC got delayed..
    I have been consuming so many different medications for different things.
    On top of that I keep getting taunts from all from in laws side for not concieving.
    MIL keeps shouting saying that other people concieved, why I dint...
    Everything I do is wrong according to her.
    FIL also says same.
    They target me always and dont say much to my husband.
    Relatives keep giving big lecture that these days ladies are not giving importance to family, and keep delaying kids to enjoy life.
    They keep asking if any kind of news is there..Discreetly behind my back.
    Friends are thinking that I m enjoying life and hence not having babies.
    They think i have very good job and earning well etc..Which is not at all true. Completely wrong. I dint correct their assumptions as I dont have energy for same.
    Random people ask me "oh no kids as yet?family planning ah???" with a snide smile.
    I bloat up a lot these days due to winter season and also due to water retention, PMS symptom etc which is quite common.If I attend any function ladies look at me from top to bottom checking if I have a tummy bulge or not.
    Everyone keeps telling me to do random poojas, rituals etc to get baby soon.
    Due to this reason I avoid such people as I dont like this unpleasant situation..They then complain to in laws that I do not attend any occasions, again i get scoldings that I do not attend occasions and interact with those people etc.
    Those of my age who are married and have kids lecture me on importance of having kid etc.
    Any doctor whom I consult doesnt want to spend more than 5 min on any patient. Just for formality they give standard texbook instruction and then call for next patient.
    I am upset and stressed and depressed.
    I cry for about 1-2 hrs everyday and have retreated into a shell.
    I m continuously made to feel by society that a woman having babies is great, woman who doesn't have baby is cursed and useless.
    When will I be blessed with a baby & peaceful life.:(
    This stress is only causing problem I feel.
    Everyone told me, one has to be very calm and happy while expecting baby.
    How can I keep calm and cool during such bad situations?
    I dint put this in TTC forum as this is from relationship perspective.

    I feel sorry for you dear. How long have you been married ? and how supportive is your hubby ? If you have supportive husband , that is all it should matter. Ignore everyone else , i know its not easy. I myself had baby after 10 yrs of being married, in my case it wasn't because of the problems with conceiving but because of mutual decision of me and my hubby. There were so many ppl intervening/asking/questioning about us not having baby but since i live in UK , i didn't get to hear that directly much. Once my PILs went to astrologist who said we could never have baby and they told that to me , i got upset and worried , my husband that time took initiative and asked my PILs(through his sister) not to tell such stuffs to me. And since then i never heard any taunt about baby from my ILs ever. That was one best thing my hubby did for me which i still appreciate. SO i would say , ask your hubby to tell his parents not to talk to you about baby and ignore whole world who just dont have anything else to do and keep an eye on others personal life.

    Pls dont be so upset.. It's not at all an easy situation you r facing and all these remarks are affecting you too much.. Remember one thing, no matter what you do, you wil have some remarks from ppl.. If you had a baby, you wouldve heard different type of remarks bout what you r doing or not doing or how good mothers don't do something or something else.. So there is not much you can do bout these remarks except ignore them.. Some ppl may have good intentions too but since you r getting upset, learn to handle these situations tactfully.. Just smile n say it will happen when right time comes n don't give any further explanations if you feel someone is interfering.. After doing it a few times ppl will realise its out of bounds..

    Regarding ur crying excessively, I feel you should meet a counsellor.. They are completely non judgemental and help you get a better perspective of the situation.. Don't worry, this will also pass.. Wish you all the best..

    Find a good fertility specialist - both you and H go for consultation and follow the therapy properly (both of you since unless they diagnose, they wont know who the issue is with). Thats the main thing you focus. Rest of the noise, ignore it as noise.

    It's been a couple of years since marriage...and the baby pressure started less than one year after marriage and its steadily increasing every year! Its societal pressure that is driving us crazy..Even if my husband tells people not to take the topic, they still bring it up again & again.
    ignoring is the best option, but not that easy, especially to over sensitive people like me :(

    hi generic, 2 of my cousins suffered like this and consulted a fertility centre. By then my grandpa jumped in the scene and given them 2 tips.
    1. consume pomengranete daily in empty stomach
    2. grind 50-100 gm of dry kismis and mulethi (in hindi. adhimadhuram in tamil) as a fine paste in water, mix with milk and eat during your periods.

    above mentioned are natural and wont give any side effects. It is proven to cure all uterus related problems. Both were conceived within 3 months time.
    My prayers for you as well.

    Share the good news soon @generic

    I really feel sad to hear about you. But at the same time I was feeling someone said write about me or my situation. Even my relatives, in-laws, random people ask me these questions... good news kabhi doge? kitne maje karoge aab.
    MIL says kam se kam hume pota dekhane ka sukh to do....

    Especially during any festival or function it's terrible situation. MIL ask panditaji to give her blessing hume jaldi pota mile:(


    Crying is no solution. Ya I know inside pain,the feeling that you feel. But we have to keep going.
    I wish your situation will improve soon.

    Dear Rith, Even i am sailing in the same boat, besides my MIL is such a cunning lady, she every day keeps hurting me saying some thing or the other, usually she starts with some topic and indirectly scold me and directly my father in law such a way that the message of pricking reaches my ear. she was doing with the baby topic and now started on some other thing as well as of hurting me everyday, such that what ever i do will be transformed as wrong stuffs and comment or scold on that indirectly because she cant tell anything to me directly as i would bash her back if she says anything directly to me.

    for this natural formula, can i take it along with allopathy medicines that docters have given to take daily?
