After being 8 days late and 2 faint positives that got my hopes up. If one more person asks me when I'm going to have a baby I think I'll scream Sad. Anyone got any advice on how to address these questions when you're feeling low?

Sending hugs OP. There are no words to describe how shitty this feels. Take one day at a time and give yourself a lot of love.

I found that blunt honesty worked with the relentless "when are you having a baby" questions. We ended up having IVF and it was always amusing to watch people's faces when I said "well actually we're on our second round of IVF because I have endometriosis". They soon shut up! Thanks

no :( people are massively thoughtless and i wish people wouldnt ask that as they have NO idea what is going on in other peoples lives. i agree with @marvellousmaplesyrup and go with blunt honesty, might make them realise they should think a bit before asking those kind of questions.
fingers crossed your BFP will come soon, and stay strong and scream into a cushion if you need!x
