I don't know if I just need to rant or if everyone else feels the same way
How do people deal with being asked "when is it your time" or "when are you going to have kids" "is it not about time you had kids" "are you not pregnant yet"
We have been struggling to conceive for a couple of years now and are waiting to start IVF, only our closest family and a couple of close friends know the situation as it's not exactly the type of news I want to shout about.
I am so sick of people and even family members asking when we will have kids, I always want to reply with a really abrupt answer or something really sarcastic like "I'm not a fortune teller I thought my ovaries would of done their job by now!" But I'm always so taken back by the question I just usually say something along the lines of "oh we want a few holidays first" or "our dog is our baby"
I have recently been to a baby shower which I didn't really want to go to but did and I must of been asked 10 times by different people, it's getting to the point where I am dreading social situations, we have a family party this Saturday and I am already dreading being around people that are going to ask the dreaded question because all it does is reminds me for the rest of the night about the situation we are in, I'll go home get upset and feel down all Sunday feeling down, but in the same breathe I can't put off everything single family/social event and become a hermit!
I suppose my question is how does everyone else deal with this? My emotions are all over the place at the moment, I even took a few days of work last week and spent a full day crying, I think it all just got on top of me and I needed to let it all out!
