999 Reasons to laugh at infertility... #994, #993 & #992

I missed this weekend posting...

#994 You get mad at your partner when he is not available on ovulation days

You have been waiting for those 2 magical days a month – ovulation days! You get prepared to seduce your partner tonight, you wait for him to get home…. He calls you to say he is going out tonight with the boys. IS HE KIDDING? You have been waiting for those magical days all month – those days that give you the smallest amount of hope, and he won’t be around. I also love when he is ‘too tired.’ Too tired? Isn’t he the same guy who begged for sex while you were dating? Oh, he is having sex tonight, I’ll tell you that much.

#993 You can have a full conversation using fertility Acronyms

You have been to enough fertility web pages to understand what “TTC” and “DH” mean. If you can understand the below dialogue, you are on the right web page right now.

Woman 1: Are you ttc?
Woman 2: Trying IVF for SI.
Woman 1: We had a D&C after ICSI.
Woman 2: PCOS?
Woman 1: Yes and AF arrived today.
Woman 2: We had 3 IVF’s and 6 BFN’s.

Now, if you can understand the below, you should win a prize.

Me 42, DH 52 IVF #1, #2, #3 ICSI #4 – 10.05.2006, 12.12.2006, 10.03.2007, 27.07.2007 ICSI/DE/TESA #5, #6 PGD/IVIG #7 – 24.11.2007, 27.02.2008, 23.05.2008 – 7 BFNs
Surrogacy/FET #8 – 15.10.2008 – BFP

#992 You wear baggy shirts to pretend you are pregnant

Have you done this? It’s a friend’s party and know that people are wondering when you are going to start “trying” but they won’t ask. You make yourself feel better by wearing a baggy shirt, allowing people to jump to their own conclusions. I personally have a few “let’s-pretend-I’m- pregnant” t-shirts for family events. You secretly find it nice when you notice them looking at your shirt. If people want to believe you are pregnant, you won’t correct them. It’s unhealthy, yes, but if it makes you feel better, go for it!

I def get mad at DH when its that time and he is either tired or busy!!! He doesnt get that there are only a couple of days that are crucial...he thinks its not that big of a deal the next day or whenever..MEN!!!

The acronyms are totally from these boards...I dont think I can translate it though...what is TESA?

I can say I have never pretended to be pregnant...I am thick girl so a couple of pounds either way doesnt show that much.

the only reason i would wear a baggy shirt is because i have gained weight from meds and feel like a gigantor
