Does you family know you are TTC at all or maybe having TTTC?
We're not exactly spring chickens, (I'll be 35 tomorrow), and I think everyone has known I've always wanted kids, so even if I didn't announce anything, I'm sure people know. I have shared some with my mom, my SIL, and a couple of friends. I'm lucky to have them in my life, and to feel comfortable going to them.
Random: If you had to choose between a pet elephant or pet giraffe which would you pick?
Totally depends if they are pocket size or regular size. Pocket size? Giraffe. Normal size? Elephant. Obviously.
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,
