What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas (unless you have a quickie IVF at the Bellagio Hotel by a doctor who looks like Doogie Howser. Then what happens in Vegas stays with you for the next nine months).

When two infertiles collide….
Your mom’s friend’s daughter is going through infertility treatments and although you barely know this girl, you know about her uterus in great detail. Thanks to your own mother, you know that Mindy went through IVF (it didn’t work), you know all about her vaginal surgeries and you’re aware that her husband’s sperm is more hostile than World War three. Your mother emailed you her fertility clinic’s phone number (“Bessie said that her daughter, Mindy, has a great fertility doctor. Here’s the number”), and your mother updated you about Mindy’s latest IVF treatment (“It didn’t work for her but she did try acupuncture. Do you want the acupuncturist’s phone number?”).

You think I’m funny Hilarious? My blog readers might even be funnier. Here are some more of your Reasons to Laugh at Infertility….

“You are sick–runny nose, headache, sore throat, etc. Definitely sick. Not only do you try to link all of these symptoms to potential pregnancy (I heard you get runny noses when pregnant, right? Google “Sore throat sign of early pregnancy?”), but instead of being concerned about a fever, you are excited because your temps are actually high when they are supposed to be. Also, because you are potentially pregnant, you take medications appropriate during pregnancy or decide to just take extra vitamins. Ergo, you are still sick to make the experience even worse when AF inevitably arrives.”-Stace
“QUESTIONER: “Wow, I didn’t know you were married that long. How many kids do you have?” ME: “None. They’re on backorder. I ordered them, like, forever ago. I don’t know, they must be out of stock.” -Rachel
“I love the women I talk to that tell me that they have a “PLAN” for when they will have children. They tell me that they are planning to finish grad school, wait until this big project at work is through, or until little Johnny is two. Then they will go forward with this plan. As if a person has the ability to just decide- Now we are ready, so the baby will come. Wait, I guess most do have that ability!! -Jacki
“Finding out your supposed BFF is 7wks pg before she tells you. You actually work it out via clues left of her FB wall, then you do some googling and discover that she has been posting in a pregnancy forum for 3 weeks and has told her family and closest friends.”-Belinda
“You pick through your garbage to further analyze a BFN test-despite the fact you stared at it off and on for the whole night prior…” -Alexandra’s mum
“Also how about you go to the pharmacy to pick up your prescription of provera and clomid at the same time. This flags a concern so the tech tells you to wait for the pharmacist. The pharmacist explains that these drugs are harmful for pregnant women and then says “but obviously since you are getting them, you are not pregnant” Thank you pharmacist lady for reminding me that i am “obviously not pregnant”- Rooni
