Today we are discussing the tendency people have to ask intrusive and personal questions about women’s fertility status. Such questions can cause people significant pain and awkwardness. Often, people asking these questions are completely oblivious to the discomfort they are causing.

Questions like this cross personal boundaries in so many ways. Therefore, I am giving you some tips and strategies for handling intrusive questions when they arise. One of these tips is setting boundaries and communicating those boundaries to others. I also encourage those who ask such questions  to reflect on their impact and urge you to consider more meaningful and considerate conversations.

Key Episode Takeaways:

• Intrusive fertility questions can trigger pain and conflict in people's lives.
• Boundaries are healthy, not selfish.
