On the train this morning, as the question was joyfully asked and expanded on (and she kept talking fervently) and I replied as simply as possible, this went through my head.

Thank you very much for asking when my husband and I will start having children. I know you are just being polite and curious. However, you are the [insert number] person to ask me that since I got married. As I have explained to all the others, I will have children when I am ready. It may not be for several more years. I do not feel that getting pregnant, giving birth, and raising a child is something I want to do right now.
Also, while I appreciate your curiosity and odd fascination concerning the future of my womb, I find it slightly unsettling. I am afraid I don't see how my sex life, the health of my reproductive organs, and the activity of my uterus have anything to do with anyone but me and my partner. I wish you all the best for you and your [current/potential] offspring, but you really do not need to concern yourself with me and mine. Also, please get that glazed gleam out of your eyes. It's a little frightening.
Thank you.

Really, the woman seemed a little... zealous. It made me want to cover my lower abdomen with my arms and tell her that no, she couldn't have my future children.

More so than any other person who has asked me that question, yeah. She was almost religious about it.
