[quote=Anonymous]thanks.  I won't ask.  
But here are some background details.  I had fertility issues and it was openly discussed.  Although they have had several children, my other sibling had fertility issues and it was openly discussed.  Thus, in our family, the topic has not been hush hush.  In a way, I guess, I feel like if fertility is an issue, acting like it isn't is a little odd.  But it is a personal choice to talk about it and they may be keeping it private.
It is an elephant in the room because for so long they have talked about and made decisions that reflect a longterm desire to have kids coupled with a short term desire to continue having fun (party lifestyle).  As the years go by, the party time has continued and the talk about kids has virtual stopped.  But since they always said they wanted them, it seems appropriate to assume they still do.  But maybe they don't. FWIW, no one asks so they aren't pestered.  Perhaps parents ask but with me it was relentless from parents, aunts, siblings until I finally said "we are trying!" [/quote]
