My street is having a garage sale and all I want to do is sit on my porch and drink my tea but the presence of random people is making that crappy idea.
Barf to having randoms on my street and I'm 99.9% sure that somebody honked their horn at like 6:30am.
My downstairs neighbors are having a garage sale too. They invited us to sell stuff with them, but only gave us two days notice so I declined. I also don't like them so I dont want to stand outside with them. We can't let me cat outside because of this too, and she is super pissed off.

We're off to a pool party. I made bacon cheeseburger dip but I keep adding hot sauce to it. I should probably stop because I like food hotter than most people.
In other news, I lost three pounds this week. A few of the girls I work with and I are going to start Bootcamp classes next week. We all want to lose weight and we are pretty evenly matched in terms of fitness. It should be fun. It's the most excited I've ever been about working out.
Good morning! I was hoping to sleep in a bit more but my dog woke me up already. I need to go for a run and then we have lots of chores and yard work to get done.

I have to go to my cousin's bridal shower and just now while wrapping the gift, I realized I was going to an event that will be filled with my nosey ass aunts. I asked H if I should just make people uncomfortable when they ask about kids and he said yes. Now I just have to prepare myself for the questions and stupid advice if I do say something.

gooselover2012, that sounds like me. Even if I don't care if people know at this point, I still end up saying "oh I don't know" and leaving it at that.
******, that's actually a pretty good response. Not sure how my family will react though. One of aunts is a bitch and makes everything a competition so she would probably say something to piss me off.

We have a wedding today. Both the bride and groom are my cousins (different sides of the family, so no incest) so I'm going to see so much family who will most likely be asking all kinds of questions about when we're having kids. I hate family events lately and will need to restrain myself to not lose it. I'm grumpy today.

I'm getting my hair done and then heading to one friend's house to meet up with another friend who lives far away and her kiddos (one I've only met once when she was 3mo) the other is an adorable toddler. I literally am jumping out of my skin with excitement to spend time with my friends and the kiddos!!
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!

I have started saying "it's not that easy for everyone." I've noticed it's just enough info to let them know we try and just enough to make them feel slightly uncomfortable to continuing the discussion. I've been getting "oh. Um, I see" responses. But maybe the people I have asking are more polite than nosie family members.

I was always a fan of "why do you care about my sex life so much?"

I think I'm fighting a cold or my allergies are kicking my butt! Took the dogs to the dog park (which I love) and now they are tired. Tomorrow we'll be going to a Dog Wash fund raiser for our town Dog Park.

I've started using this type of response lately and it shuts down conversations fast. Sometimes I'll say "hopefully, fairly soon" if it's more well-meaning and less nosy and judgmental questioning. It depends on the situation and how I feel.
GL to all the ladies dealing with relatives this weekend. I wish it wasn't socially acceptable to ask these type of questions!

I like to be as awkward as possible. When my cousin who is the same age as me had twins I started telling people that we were sharing. Some of my aunts were not amused by that. Luckily, my cousin thought it was hysterical. Her LOs were conceived via IUI, so she's been a great support.
For all other relatives, my new approach to get them to stop asking questions is to start discussing all of my different ailments. People seem to be really uncomfortable discussing IBS while eating dinner. Who knew?
