    This is why the women on BB rock, you can feel down and blue and come in here post how you are feeling and some really wonderful women can pick up back up
    Thank you ladies for the support it really means so much to me

    Cheez, I don't think you need to be a LTTTCer to understand these comments I think in general anyone sticking their head in someone else's personal business should stick their neck back out
    BG, love how you 'tried nice' before DD was born...did it work...lol
    peanutter, here's hoping ...thanks hun

    I also catch up with our birthing class buddies (we made our own little mother’s group) every fortnight and are all talking about TTC #2 there are 6 of us and one has already just given birth to her second.
    They just talk so Easley about making a baby and this is something I really can’t join in and laugh about?

    not so much!
    i gave up when it was the same people all the time - so i got nasty - much more successful

    not that i'm really nasty, just blunt
    i get a questoin like that my usual answer is
    "well, it took 4 years and more rounds of IVF than i care to remember to get this miracle girl, i'm not taking time and money away from her on a maybe, but if you want to be a generous benefactor and pay for unlimited ivf attempts, i'll think about it"

    Hmm, yes I think I should try this path, although we are on IUI (round 3 atm), not IVF.....

    It's really plain rude to ask & none of their business. I have tried nice too & people just don't let up!

    Hey Nic, replied to this on your blog, but just wanted to say that I understand how frustrating, and insensitive those comments can be! Same as when you don't have a child yet, and people think they have a right to tell you to 'hurry up' etc.
    And having an only child is ok...i am an only too ;-) It's just something to get your head around (and a situation we may face).... in the meantime, hopefully a BFP awaits you soon

    Nic.
    I think we were very lucky in that the only people who have really commented on our TTC were our siblings, and we are close enough to them to not be bothered by it. We were warned by friends who already had kids that the moment your baby pops out someone will ask you when you are going to have another.

    i am overly honest when they comment i get in to way too much information then they can never claim ignorance again.
    other wise i just politely tell them that perhaps they should think about the impact what they say has on me their"friend" when they make stupid comments

    Hehehhe couldn't help myself...

    Was told the other day (by someone who knows our IVF story nonetheless!) that I should "hurry up and have #2 before DS gets too old" (WTF? He's 13mths!) and not only this but she did it in front of other people!

    Without batting an eye I replied "no problems! Make the cheque out to HIVF. $12,000 should get us through one cycle, thank you so much for your generosity!" and she stormed off *evil grin*
