You know the kind. Every Aunt, friend, cousin, and even random strangers know exactly what you need to do to have a baby. What's the worst of the worst you have gotten? Least favorite? How did you deal with said advice?

    Worst advice I've ever gotten is "You're so young! You have plenty of time to worry about having a baby!" I'm 21 with severe PCOS. I really don't have 'plenty of time' to worry about having a baby because getting my weight down to a safe one to carry a child takes up most of that time. I dealt with it usually by saying that they're right just to shut them up but one time someone said it, I snapped and told them I didn't because of medical conditions and that they didn't know what they were talking about. They shut up pretty quickly.

    Ugh! I've gotten that one too... like 3yrs ago but now that I've hit the big 3-0 people are reminding me that my clock is ticking. (Eye roll here)

    The worst for me is the "Just relax" no sorry Aunt Donna, you dont just relax away a disease, you go to the doc. It's is a medical thing.

    My fam is also very religious so I get "All in God's time" alot too... which i know is supposed to give me comfort. Its not in my hands he'll take care of me blah blah blah... it just makes me wanna yell at him...
