My husband and I suffered a miscarriage with our first child (and we didn't tell anyone other than close family) and a few weeks after that we decided we needed to get out of the house, so we went to a party where we had been invited. Anyway, we had been there maybe 15 minutes when we were asked when we were having kids. I burst into tears and ran out of the room. Needless to say, noone ever asked me that question again.
Sometimes I think that people with kids just want to spread the misery to others (note- I love my kids, but they do drive me to the brink on a regular basis).
