When are you going to have another baby/start a family? Argh!

I'd certainly never ask either of the above questions to anyone :)

I am TTC# 2 and the amount of people that say 'oh, how old is your DS now - you'll be wanting a wee brother or sister for him, eh!'

I feel I am quite restrained in not saying 'I'm doing my bloody best, ok!'

I'm only on month 7 and already fed up deflecting the question...is anyone else a better liar than me? I usually sheepishly mutter something like 'oh he's only (13/14/15/16/17/)18 months, I'm sure we'll get round to it'

I actually feel bad for the question askers, they have no idea how bonkers they might be driving people.

We were lucky enough to conceive DS in 2 months so I have only recently begun to understand the growing frustration as the months go by - I have no idea how grumpy I'll be in another few months!

After 6.5y of TTC for #2, and a DD who turns 9y tomorrow, I have had this for so many years now. I am pretty blunt about it these days tbh. I tell them it looks like it will be never. Usually makes them stop.

I guess it seems like an obvious question to people - they've got no idea :(

I get really cross when people ask me this (DS is 3 in July). Especially when it's people I barely know. I just think it's a really personal thing and you never really know what someone's story is.

People are just making conversation. You could tell the truth, tell them it is private, ignore the question and say nothing, tell them something completely untrue but it will shut them up.

I don't get angry, just find it awkward - I don't even tell my Mum I'm TTC. :)

I always tell them the truth - we've been trying for # 2 for 20 months and all we've achieved is 2 miscarriages! I say it politely because I have no qualms talking about it but it certainly makes some people feel uncomfortable and perhaps this will make them think twice about asking someone else! However I'm sure I've asked people exactly the same question in the past before I encountered difficulties so I can't really complain

Oh and I get married in 5 weeks time, we went to a party on Saturday and everyone was saying "oo bet you'll be trying for a baby once you're married" little do they know we've been trying for 5 months. I'm dreading the questions when we get married as, as soon as we are home from h-moon I'll be straight to the gp.
