When someone asks that hurtful question, look them right in the eye and in a rather blunt manner, reply with "9 months after I conceive. Isn't that how long it took you?"
I don't agree with the snarky or defensive comments. I'd just say "We're trying; it just hasn't happened yet." That's all you need to say. And OP, I hope it does happen for you soon!
why your baby or the pregnancy should be their problem. Simply say " When the baby is ready I will welcome him or her" keep it short and ignore the people you think that they might ask. Have been there and shut the mouths of few people.
Since they are being rude in asking why not give them a funn answer. "We like sex so much that we don't want to ruin that with having a kid. I mean look at you with your kids, when is the last time that you had sex in every room in your home?"
Here is another:
"Look at this family, as you can tell there are just too many people on the planet, so we are doing our part to help the earth from the destructive forces of having too many people on it."
or how about, "If we had a child they may turn out to be something like you and ask rude questions to family members."
One I like is:
"We just have not been blessed with chidren but we are working on it day and night. By the way can we use your bedroom, it is that time of day."
I think it depends on the person asking the question. I would
a) confide in the person if they are kind/close to me and I know they could be of some support.
b) smile and say 'at some point of time' if its a person who has good intentions but I don't feel comfortable enough to discuss things with.
c) just smile and ignore the question for anyone else(gossiping types, rude types etcc).
I think most rude people expect a reaction and it is in one's own interest to avoid fueling them.
"My husband will creampie and impregnate me when we're ready. Now enough about our sex life, let's discuss yours!"
Oh, non-snarky answer, you ask? Sorry, does not compute. Anyone who would seriously ask someone such a personal question had to have been raised in a barn.

Totally agree that this question is out of bounds. People would constantly ask me when my cousin and her husband were going to have children. They had been marrried about 9 years with none in the works.
My answer ~ 'when they are good and ********** ready.'
And they did.
