I hate when family asks me if I'm pregnant yet.

I have told all of my family about my miscarriages. They were devistating for me. I finally had a beautiful son last year. I told my immediate family at 13 weeks and there was an uproar about how I hid and lied to them about my pregnancy, mostly from my in law side. I told the rest of the family as I saw them, some as late at 20 weeks. I don't see a lot of my family regularly and I thought it was best to announce face to face as I dont have SM. Well ever since my son turned 6 months my MIL mostly has asked me nearly every time she sees me if I'm 'preggo' (cringe) yet. She wants to know right away. She says she doesn't want to be lied to again. I saw my Grandmother the other day and the entire visit in front of all of my family, when are you gonna give me another great grandchild? (I'm the oldest grandchild and the only one married, and gave her her first) Pregnant yet? Working on a sibling there? Can you have a girl this time, there's only 2 girl grandchildren! The whole time I'm lying because I'm 8 weeks pregnant and no where near comfortable telling anyone that I'm pregnant yet. My FIL has started to get innapropriate saying things like, "Have you and (DH) been busy lately?" With a wink.

I get that some people are ok with all this and announcing early and such I just hate that I'm being made to feel like I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to protect myself from all the pity stars and 'everything happens for a reason' crap that came after my losses. Not only that but there are a couple of family members who cannot have children and very much want them or need IVF in order to conceive, and that might not even work. I feel horrible for them as family members constantly are talking about more babies obsessively in front of them. My MIL has even said right in front of my SIL(who cannot conceive) that I need to have at least 4 children so she has enough grandbabies, hinting at my SIL sitting across the table. I was taken aback and didnt say anything and felt awful about it.

Is it just hormones or is it just wrong to ask people if they are pregnant yet?
