Infertility is no joke.
There is nothing funny about transvaginal wands; having a fertility doctor looking at your Hoo Haw at 7:00 in the morning or lying to your boss when you arrive late to work because you were having eggs surgically removed from your ovaries. It is no laughing matter when your husband has to provide a sperm sample in the fertility clinic porn room; when you injure your back after elevating your legs following baby-making sex; or when you are secretly envious of your pregnant dog. Mr. Giggles.
Infertility is no laughing matter….
….But infertility jokes are a riot! Enjoy some courtesy of the awesome women and men on my !
“It’s getting to the point where anyone with a white coat will be allowed access to my uterus. Which makes for some really awkward trips to the deli and the make up counter.” -Melissa
“At 8:50 PM an infertile walks into a bar. Bartender says, “Can I get you a shot?” “Not for another 10 minutes, but I’ll take a margarita while I wait.” -Marci
“You know you are trying to get pregnant when: Someone asks you today’s date and you reply “Day 21.” -Melissa
“You know you have been TTC too long when you open the fridge door and immediately get angry at the eggs in the carton…. or jealous.” -Tiffany
“You know you are infertile when you ’stare’ at the belly of a pregnant lady from work and see her drink from the water cooler and quickly fill up on the water hoping ‘its in the water.’ -Mylee
“What’s black, blue and red all over? My arms, tummy, bottom and thigh. I am doing treatments again….” -Brynn

Um, Naomi, is it true that you are pregnant? I.think I read.it.somewhere…. I dont knlw if i’m just tripping off of repronex lol. But if you are…. My MOST heartfelt congratulations! I hurt so bad when I hear a bfp announcement, but.honestly I am truly happy when an IF sister gets her bfp, because we soooooo deserve.it. So if its true and u r pregnant….. My most heartfelt congrats and wishes.for a healthy, smooth.pregnancy and happy healthy baby!
And if not…. Well i’m a bad person and my heartfelt apologies. We’ll get there one day. We all will. <3
Thanks so much, these are great! My favorite is the one about the shot and the bartender. I have been in a lot of different places and had to give myself shots. It made for some pretty funny stories. If you would like to hear about my journey through IVF, please visit http://www.ivfsuccessstories.info. Thanks again for sharing!
Wow! So true, so true!
Ugh. I swear, I feel “violated” by vaginal ultrasound! I can’t believe I have to go through more in the coming days.

@Catharine, you are not tripping on fertility medications. I managed to kick some infertility ass and had a baby boy in May. We did 4 IVFs and was somehow successful on my 4th. Hoping to enjoy some Secondary Infertility in the near future. Wishing everyone pregnancy successes this year!
Congrats on the little boy Naomi, I´m so happy for you!
Hoping to kick som real IF ass soon myselfe in the near future, as in a BFP in our upcoming FET in october. Praying to who ever is responsible for this that we´ll get at “sticker” this time.
Scandidavian endo girl.
S….I’m praying for your FET!!! Thanks for the support you have been offering on my blog.
Naomi congrats on your little boy!!! Let us know when you decide to try for #2 so we can root for you and pray!
Thanks Cherbear <>
Congrats Naomi, and thanks for keeping the laughs coming!!
And is it an infertility thing if you finally get a BFP, and instead of being excited you are more anxious that it was all a big mistake and you end up anticipating your HCGs to take a dive??? Wonder if they could sedate a person until the 12 week mark….
Good luck S Girl!!!! Hope you have some great news to report soon!
@ Naomi…lol about enjoying secondary infertility in the near future. You crack me up! How ’bout I share some of my 2ndary IF with you???? I have more than I need…. ;p Just kidding, hope you kick ass the first time around….
The last one is really funny
@ Alexandra´s mum, thanks. Going back for my second scan october 10th, hope my lining will be ok by then.

You tell your co-workers that you can´t work late because you have an appointment with a friend at 8pm. They don´t need to know that “she´s” got a needle and is called something they can´t pronounce.
I was going to take a break from this site, but I cant stay away! Congrats in the little man, Naomi! Always so happy when we can kick infertility in the face
