How to deal with friends/family asking about TTC?

My friends and family are constantly asking my husband and I when we are going to have kids. My sister and 2 cousins are pregnant. My husband and I have been having a hard time getting pregnant. How do I get them to back off? I just feel like telling them we can't have kids so they back off!How to deal with friends/family asking about TTC?
That is a perfect way to get them off your back. When they ask again, just tell them you have been trying, but unfortunately, have not been successful. That will most likely make them feel bad, and they will stop asking.





If you do not want to tell them, you could just tell them you are enjoying being married to much, and when the time is right you will have children.





Good luck and lots of baby dust to you!How to deal with friends/family asking about TTC?
Just tell them that you'll be sure to let them know when it happens, but that you're really not comfortable talking about such things, because it's something that you consider to be personal between you and your husband. Then just add that you'd like to keep it a surprise for everyone, anyway.
oh,,i understand how u r feeling...tell them that u guys have not yet planned for kids now.,,and tell them they would be informed when u plan (but dont forget to keep on ttc)..this answer will put them a side and they will not ask u guys once u tell them this..good luck and soon u will conceive...
There are some people out there who don't ever have trouble getting pregnant, and then there's the rest of the population. Most people don't realize that it can take a normal, healthy couple up to six months to conceive, and some say up to a year.





So just because you may be having a hard time right now, you just have to be patient. As for your family and friends, I would recommend telling them how you feel. It can be even more stressful when others are pressuring you to get pregnant. Let them know that you don't appreciate them constantly asking you when you're going to have a baby, and that when the time is right it will happen.





Plain and simple, tell them to back off. Good luck!

Oh, honey I will send you some positive vibes because I am in your situation as well, except I am supposed to be supplying both families with the first grandchild. God help us both... Personally I just brush them off and try to be as tactless as possible. (!!!) This is your time. Stand tall. Try not to dwell on it and stay happy, I'm convinced that a baby is more likely to enter into a happy environment, as new age as that may sound.
I don't think theres any way to get them to quit asking. In my family you just have to say F off.
My husband and I just tell them the truth. We say that we are trying but it hasn't happened yet. If they feel awkward for asking at that point, maybe they will think twice before asking others in the future. If you are uncomfortable with that, then just tell them something like you are waiting for the right time, etc. I know it can be really tough when everyone asks this again and again! Hang in there and good luck!
Say ';When we decide to have kids, you'll be the first to know.'; Then change the subject.





Or, to make them feel bad for asking, say ';That's a very personal question, and one that's not appropriate to ask.';
I used to tell people ';Someday ... when the time is right.'; No one needs to know that you are TTC ... and if you tell them, the questions will turn into ';You're not pregnant yet?'; Ugh!!





I also found it helpful to turn the questions on them. Yes, I asked my 75 year old grandmother if she was planning on having any more children. She stopped asking after that!





Best Wishes!
Let them know that you will have a baby when you are ready. The stress of people being on your back about this may be part of why you're unable to conceive. Just relax and let whatever happen happen. Good luck to you.
I'm in the same boat as you. My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years and it went from when ya'll getting married to how's married life to when ya'll gonna have a baby. I used to tell everyone one that when you see me in my new family vehicle then we are ready for a baby. I drive a beetle lol.... Well I've been having my new vehicle since Feb and it's almost a year now and no baby yet. We are trying to keep it a secret so both our families can be surprised but it's been very tuff considering we never thought that it would have taken so long. It's like we are finally ready and it just feels like it's never going to happen and with family and friends that keep on asking when you going to have a baby it gets very frustrating and you just want to yell sometimes I can't have any so just leave me alone. Hopefully the time will come for the both of us and we could finally tell everyone when they ask that famous question ';We are pregnant you didn't know';


Best of Luck to you in the New Year !!!
