Definition of Inappropriate Advice Re: Babymaking
For the record, here's just a snippet of the subjects that I've gotten unsolicited advice about from people I don't really know, advice that's really worthless and rubs me the wrong way:

• Offering me their 'really nice' friend's sperm. Um, thanks but no thanks. My response of 'we've already stockpiled some sperm' should be enough of an indication that we've got this part of the process taken care of.
• Saying "If that were me, I'd use my partner's sibling." Hooray for you.
• Telling me to really re-think this self-imposed waiting period before we start trying since I'm not getting any younger. For the record, using frozen sperm gives you a very very small window of opportunity, being the overly-involved planner I am, I want every one of these 6 months to make sure when know exactly when that egg is released so we don't waste $1180 a month. Thanks.

That's really about it. Suggestions re: vitamins or hospitals or doctors or anything that might help are also fine. At any rate, I'll listen politely to all of it, I'm just sharing the things that have struck me as just a little too personal, the speaker a little too insistent.

What it comes down to, is that a lot of times, people just want to share their opinions, regardless of what you say in return. I'm doing my best to let them have their say without going into detail about our plans. There's no point, and if I don't know them well enough to say "that's enough, now" then they're not close enough friends to get the details anyway.
