BellaOnline Forums Relationships Married No Kids "We are trying!"

What's sad is that a LOT of people think this is a great topic of converstation. If more people had the decency of you folks, it would be a non-issue.

I would assume that when someone says they are "trying" that they are on fertility drugs. I mean if you are just having sex, I don't think that's noteworthy. If you are worried about an expensive medical procedure, that's another thing.

I get grossed out by it also. Especially when people tell their parents that they are trying to have a baby. Why not just try in your own private time and then just let people know the news once you're pregnant. I do not need/want to know the details.

Oh Ingilbert...I am right there with you on the parents KNOWING once I got married. When we left the wedding reception was the worst...My dad looked at us telling us farewell....I knew he KNEW what we were getting ready to go do. And then there was the time that my mom tells me not to flush condoms down the toilet because it is not good for the septic tank....I think I just sat there with my mouth hanging open or something...not really sure! AWKWARD is all I have to say about that.

I am totally with the rest of you...I hate it when someone tells me that they are "trying." I do not need to know about their sex life. Sex is "intimate" for a reason like Duane said. You don't go broadcasting it to everyone you know...at least I don't.

And I am like Ingilbert...I don't want anyone to know either...I am just old fashioned like that

I would love to say something really naughty in response to people like that but my jiminey cricket says I can't ^_^ damn conscience. Still, I kind of mentally think it for a giggle.

(what I'd like to say)

breeders to be : Guess what! We're trying for a baby! isn't that great!

Me: Guess what! I'm [censored] too! Except I'm using birth control! Isn't that just wonderful news to share with everyone! ^_^

breeders to be:.............0_0......*blink*

Seriously TMI. I don't want to know that stuff, either. Its just as bad as "we are pregnant."

LOL @ meam!

That's kinda like what I said. How sad they have to try when we succeed every time.

I just have to point this out but how much sex are you actually having if you know the exact date of conception? I have a friend who knew exactly but I can tell you I didn't know other then to say sometime during that month, not that I shared this information with people at large. People always ask when your due, I kind of thought that was enough information.

Oh yeah - that grossed me out too! I've always considered that area of my life to be private. And yeah, I do qualify as a prude...I was raised in part by a very Victorian Granny and one simply did not discuss intimate parts of the female anatomy or exhibit them for any reason. Granny considered one's legs to be an intimate part.

I think it's gross too. I was once talking with a group of women at work and one of them said she and her husband were "trying" and immediately a bunch of the other women started giving tips on how to be successful. Let's just say I left really quickly.

I think sometimes couples stop having interesting sex AND then they decide to have children.
