Infertility
Elevator Speech
Hey Ladies
I recently read a book called "Love & Infertility" and one of the chapters in the book said to create an elevator speech. The speech is a quick response already "ready to go" in the awkward moments when someone asks you, "So when are you and DH gonna have a baby?" It allows for you to have a good polite response that will be kind but also will end all the questions from those people right there. I thought this was a great idea. My DH and I work together so whenever I bump into someone in the ladies room, I get the "so are you and DH trying yet?" "when are you going to give us a baby?" (yeah I know...)
Anyhow, I am working on my speech, cuz I usually stammer out some inaudible response about "when its the right time.." and then i scramble out of there as fast as possible, leaving myself and the person who asked wondering what just happened.
Anyhow, hope this helps for the panic stricken like myself!

Re: Elevator Speech
That's pretty much what I have done. It's has helped me on several occasions already!
i have two, depending on who I am talking with...and my mood
"when are you gonna have kids?"
1. Hopefully really soon!
2. We just tried last night, it was good....
Yeah I have three of these, one for the people who know we've been trying for a while and the few that know we are undergoing treatments ("We are taking things one day at a time, I will keep you updated if things change or I need your support"), one for coworker/acquaintences ("We are enjoying our family of two right now, we'll see if that changes."), and one for those super nosey people who should mind their own business ("None of your business").
Number two
LOL- I don't know if I could keep a straight face if I said this. That's great!! Love it
Hahaha!! I love number 2. I wish I had thought of that!
