Oh Megg--I wish there was a good response to this sort of thing! When strangers ask me this question, I just say, "I don't know. We'll just have to see...."

After my recent failed pregnancy, I get a lot of "Are you going to try again? How long do you have to wait?" aRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I have answered this question literally dozens of times. One semi-new girlfriend grabbed me in the church parking lot last week, and loudly said: "Time to hop in the sack again! Do you feel like having sex?" (our 3 year olds were in tow).

I thought it was a southern thing, but my mom is also obsessed with discussing "female stuff". "Are you gettting a regular period?" "Are you ovulating?" "Are your periods heavy enough to clean you out?" and on and on and on..... EEEWWWWW

I usually just mutter something like "mmmhmm" and change the subject. This has been pretty ineffective, so next time I'm thinking of trying "Mom, I really don't want to talk about it."

If I come up with anything even remotely effective, I'll post it Smiling In the meantime, I'm going to try Lynn's brilliant method!
