Please stop asking this question!

On Saturday night, my husband and I went out with another couple for dinner. I was asked ever so politely if we wanted more kids. I blurted out yes, and then I said "but it is out of our hands". There were raised eyebrows, some winking (oh so you do want more), and then confusion in my remark. Having another child is out of my hands. I already lost one, and am struggling to get pregnant again. Once again my IUI is a bust, and there I sat with AF, being asked if I wanted another child.

What I really wanted to say was this.
Yes - we already have another child. But our baby died in utero and no one really knows. We have since tried again to get pregnant but to no avail. So please stop asking.

So please : Stop asking. You just don't know what the other person is going through.
