Nosy Co-workers!!!

I just have to vent about my nosy co-workers! I went to a baby shower on Friday. At my work, there are three people who are new moms and one more on the way. Since I am TTC, you can imagine how that feels for me! I try to stay really positive and am happy for the new moms, but people at my work are always asking me when my husband and I are going to get pregnant. It's sooooooooo annoying!!!!

I have several close friends who I share my troubles with, but I'm no way going to tell my whole story to people I'm not close to, that's just not my personality. I'm very shy and don't like to share personal information with people I'm not close to. So anyways, at this baby shower, about 5 people made comments to me about getting pregnant. I was so annoyed. I came home and felt really depressed about it. My husband cheered me up by telling me to be more prepared and come up with sarcastic replies, and he's right! It's nobodies business but my own when I'm going to get pregnant!

Its not easy when people say that, I have been there and it hurts

(((HUGS))) maybe turn around and say with a serious look on your face " I dont like children"..that will get people thinking and they wont say another word I bet!! It worked for a friend of mine who was having troubles conceiving......

I know how you feel. I had tried to get pregnant for nine months, and my coworkers have always asked if I am going to have kids soon. I did not feel comfortable telling them that I am trying, so I just said that I eventually want kids and left it there.

Ccarlso - it is never going to be easy to get those questions while you are TTC. Just try to be strong and know that your day is coming! I actually thought I would never be able to conceive.
