Gee Wiz!How come you can't just be truly sick anymore without people thinking you're pregnant? You have a headache; people assume you're pregnant, You're tired, people assume you're pregnant; You have a wart; people assume you're pregnant. You can no longer feel ill without some nosy co-worker, relative, friend, grandparent or mother-in-law asking if you're expecting. God help it if you call

No doubt, your parents, mother-in-law, relative or friend has said to you: "Is there something you want to tell me?" TranslationARE YOU PREGNANT YET?ARE YOU EXPECTING?AM I A GRANDMOTHER YET?You give the customary and polite "No, nothing yet" response but inside you are fuming. You don't walk into somebody else's home and ask this question. If they wanted to tell you something, they probably would

"I love you, darling. Now kindly stay away from my vaginal area." It's Valentine's Day and while all other couples are romantically embracing, you must tell your sweetheart that your vagina is off limits today. You can't have sex for a number of reasons including (but not limited to):You have timed intercourse and you had sex yesterday. If you 'do him in' today that will throw off your entire

Your friend just had a baby.You are soooo happy for her even if it only took her one month to get pregnant. You are definitely 90 percent genuinely happy for her and 10 percent envious. After all, she is your BFF, you should feel happy for her.When you first found out she was pregnant, you cried. Your tears were 99 percent excitement for her and 1 percent tearful jealousy. She tried to break the

Infertility is no joking matter. But if it was, these would be the jokes....How does an RE like his eggs?Over 20mm!Why did the RE cross the road?Because there was an affluent, infertile woman in her 30s on the other side.Why does it take 50 million sperm to fertilize one egg?Because they won't ask for directions either!Two sperm were swimming through a woman's body.The first said, "Whew.

You purchase a lot of pregnancy tests.You hate the pregnancy test. Sometimes you're excited to take the test but most of the time, you don't know why you bought it in the first place. Pregnancy tests are costly, drive you to depression and 99.9 per cent of the time, the results are negative. You just threw your money down the toilet. Literally. The sad news is that you will probably have to buy

Your friend is pregnant. You know because every day she posts pictures of her growing belly on Facebook, and then you spend hours crying during her baby shower.But do you really have to play the extremely un-fun game of "Guess your Due Date" as well? This 'game' starts when your friend's due date is nearing, and everyone is invited to play. People gleefully play the game, giggling "January 1...

How much baby making sex can you really have?If you've actually counted, maybe 14,786 times. For the last few months/years, you've had more baby making sex than a horny teenage boy. And it's not for pleasure. It's timed, purposeful and sometimes over quite quickly. "I don't care if you're not in the mood, honey. It's 6:00am and we are doing it right now!" Sometimes (or most times), you hardly

It's another birthday and it's time to blow out those candles. But golly gee wiz, what will you wish for? Duh!It is wildly believed that before you blow your birthday candles out, you need to make a wish and if you don't tell anyone, it will come true. Maybe that's why you aren't pregnant yet because every single person in that room knows what you wished for. Even your two year old nephew knows

The infertility advice.It comes from anyone and everyone from your Great Aunt Mildred ("In my day, I would drink a special tea to get pregnant") to your eyebrow waxing lady ("I got pregnant by getting really drunk"). Did we ask for your advice? It seems that everyone believes they are qualified to hand out infertility advice but somehow it's not reciprocal. Your mommy friend can give you advice

During the two week wait, you tell yourself "Self, if I'm pregnant, tell me in my dreams." You fall asleep and let your dreams tell you the answer.If you were a fertile, you would probably have a fabulous dream about a positive pregnancy test, a glowing belly and holding your precious newborn in your arms. In your dream, you and your partner would be dancing around, perhaps, literally, on a cloud

It's strange. You would never describe yourself as a jealous person. A woman could flirt with your husband and you're mildly flattered. Your friend gets a great promotion and you're genuinely happy for her.But when someone gets pregnant, whether a friend or a complete stranger, you're jealous, evil side emerges.It doesn't even matter who it is. You're completely envious of all your pregnant

You've had a lot of special moments during your infertility journey.The "this time next year I will be pregnant" moment.The "I can't believe IVF didn't work" moment.The "all my friends are pregnant but me" moment.To name just a few...But the "I SHOULD BE PREGNANT RIGHT NOW" moment is extra fun. You did the fertility treatment and you were so sure that this one was going to work. During the two

No doubt, during your infertility journey you've had the "Oh my God, will I ever get pregnant?" breakdown. This breakdown can occur at any time and at moment, leaving your partner to believe that you've actually gone insane. You cry. You feel angry. You don't want to talk to anyone who is pregnant or had children. You want to stay in bed all day. You google every pregnancy symptoms. You stick a

Doctors recommend that you should be at your ideal weight when trying to conceive.Oh, so that's all we have to do? Just lose (or even gain) those extra 10 pounds? Super! That seems so incredibly easy. Perhaps, you were at your ideal weight 3+ years ago and then entered the wonderful world of infertility. You gained extra weight thanks to fertility drugs and then added some additional pounds due

The "You Know You're Infertile When" series continues.... You find out your mother's friend's dry cleaner's daughter's Facebook friend's second cousin's once removed is pregnant through IVF, and you are still jealous. You wear loose fitting shirts and pretend to waddle so people think that you're pregnant.You inspect the toilet paper and your vaginal discharge at least 10 times a day.You

Another special moment in infertility.A chemical pregnancy, meaning a very early miscarriage, where a positive pregnancy test was detected before the woman’s period was due and results in a negative pregnancy test following a period-like bleed.You were almost there!

Does this sound familiar? You are sitting on the toilet seat in your bathroom, going about your business, when you remember the used negative pregnancy stick sitting in your garbage can.

Instead, you plan to ring in the New Year with a bag of potato chips and a bottle of vodka, for one. But who would want to have a boring 2009 pregnancy anyways? Yawn.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.The Scenario: You are dreading signs of your period, and you go to the toilet in a dimly lit restaurant. You pee, you wipe and then you look. But wait! The restroom is dimly lit and it is too dark to see the toilet paper. YIKES! You squint your eyes and try to stare at that TP from every angle.

The day before your expected period is a beautiful day filled with hope.Although you're quite sure there's no way you're pregnant, you actually have a tiny bit of hope left. This is the day where a pregnancy announcement can occur and you actually feel some happiness for them, instead of wanting to slit your wrists. After all, you might be pregnant too. You feel like your period will come any

The fertile answering machine goes something like this: "Mary, Jack, Cindy, Carey and June can't come to the phone right now. We are too busy having fun as a family. Call us back!"

A typical day.....Eat breakfast, go to work, google random infertility phrases...."Fertility drugs, side effects""Sore breasts. Am I pregnant?""Dark nipples. Early pregnancy symptom?""Will IVF hurt?""Does IUI work on first try?""Will I ever get pregnant?" Why do you do this to yourself? Googling negative phrases about infertility does not lead to happy, positive answers! You will often get horror

Three words for you... WASH YOUR HANDS.You've reached a new low...literally. You've done a lot of strange things to try to become pregnant but inserting a pill into your vaginal cavity might be a new all time low. Perhaps you're familiar with this furry location? You might have explored it once or twice while you were looking for your cervix to find out if you were ovulating. Giving yourself an

"I know you want a grandchild, Mrs. MILF. I've been having daily sex with your son for the past two years and nothing has worked. Hopefully, I'll get pregnant when your precious little boy improves the low motility of his sperm count." Your MIL wants to be a grandmother. You know because she has told you 50 times, mentioned it to her friends and sadly looks at your belly each time she sees you.

1) Rubbing a baby's head against your stomach for good luck. Note: Rubbing a stranger's baby against yourself will probably land you in jail, and you would have to stop infertility treatments so not a good idea.2) Taking someone else's baby. That baby looks kind of like you but you probably shouldn't steal her. The mother already has 3 kids, she'd probably thank you for taking the baby. Let's ask

Remember the day your 14 year old self first discovered tampons? You realized that you no longer had to wear those uncomfortable fitting pads and discovered that tampons were easy and clean and great.Twenty years later, infertility re-introduces the sanitary napkin! Somewhere during your infertility struggles, you may have decided to switch back to pads, even for one month. It's unclear if

The childless couple gets all the pity invitations. "It's Jilly's first birthday party on Saturday but I'll understand if you don't want to come." When you do attend the birthday parties, you and your partner sit at the singles table, making awkward small chat with never-been-married Aunt Ruth and the one other potentially infertile couple.

Sallie to Becky, Monday - "I'm doing an IVF cycle this month." Becky to Sallie, Wednesday - "How was your IVF? Are you pregnant yet?" As soon as you tell someone you're going through infertility treatments, they seem to ask you if you're pregnant only a few days later. You tell a friend you are doing IVF, they ask you TWO days later how it went and if you're pregnant yet. "Hey friend! IVF takes

Fertility specialists and (nosy relatives) claim that it "only takes one sperm" to get pregnant.B U L L S H I T! So scientifically if you have one sperm and one egg, you should have gotten pregnant long ago. Wake up, specialists! We have a sperm or two, a couple of eggs and nothing is happening! Don't you love how people tell you that all you need "is one sperm" to get pregnant? Not true. You

At this rate, you will be close to menopause by the time you give birth to your first child. Thought you wanted to be a young mommy? Think again.

You've tried a fertility-friendly diet.At the beginning, you gave up caffeine, stopped drinking diet sodas, and stocked up on those recommended dark, leafy greens. How did that work out for you? It seems that other women can have a completely unhealthy diet and get pregnant easily, or worse get pregnant just "by accident." It's not fair. Then as time went on, your "fertility-friendly" diet became

So what happens if IVF fails the first time or again and again? Many infertiles are scared of IVF because they know it's the last step of the infertility cycle. If you fail IVF multiple times, what else can you try? Where do you go from there?The infertile life cycle typically happens this way:1) Try to conceive without any luck2) Go to fertility specialist3) Try some fertility meds4) Fail some

Your house is a bloody mess.Since you started your fertility treatments, who has time to go to work, make dinner and clean your house?

Birth control pills, condoms, female contraceptives... All were your friends long ago and now are your arch enemies.

But also receiving a letter from your unborn baby might help too.Dear Mommy and Daddy, Why are you crying? Each month, you have a mental breakdown when your period shows up instead of me.

Only an infertile could pre-fail an IUI or IVF cycle before it even happened.Your procedure is scheduled for next Thursday but you already "know" that it didn't work. You just know that the sperm count will be low, that the medication won't work, that your cycle will be canceled. In your mind, it's like you assume disappoint because you believe that you will feel less upset later on. News flash!

You just love when a fertile or an unhelpful relative informs you that "you're next" to get pregnant. It starts off with a subtle wink and smile and then you are told that you "will be next."Fantastic! How do you know that I will be next? Just because my friend, sister, brother, relative just got pregnant does not mean I will be 'next.' Do you have some kind of inside information telling you that

"That baby looks good on you." "Just relax and it will happen." "You're next!" "When are you getting pregnant?" It doesn't matter if you live in North America, in the UK or another country, people seem to make the exact same comments to infertiles. How did they learn to make these same comments? In the stone ages, did a group of people just get together one day and determine the phrases that

Infertility is the invisible ailment. No one talks about it and no one knows how to respond to it.You typically get the "Just relax and it will happen" useless response, the "I feel so bad for you" pity response or the "I don't know what to say and I'm uncomfortable" reaction. These types of people typically wait for you to bring up the subject although you know they are dying to say something.

You want a healthy baby. You don't even care (much) about its gender as long as it's healthy.With IVF, your doctor has the ability to pick the strongest and possibly healthiest sperm. So if they can accomplish that, why can't they choose the best looking sperm while their down there too? It would be nice to have a baby that didn't inherit your husband's larger body type, his adult acne or

No doubt, you've imagined the day when you get to announce your pregnancy. But your struggle with infertility has put a real damper on how you will actually tell people. The good news is that no one is more sensitive to infertility than you and you plan to announce your news to different people in different ways.Telling the friend who got pregnant on her first try. This is the friend who you can

Congratulations! You failed your first IUI or IVF treatment! Hurts pretty bad, doesn't it?You are now onto your second (or fourth) treatment and you will go into this cycle a little less optimistic, believing that it probably won't work if it didn't work the first time. Do you really think you can cheat on your next IUI/IVF and outsmart your body? If you are a true infertile, some of these ideas

The "Guess what I'm pregnant!" announcement is typically the worst piece of news you've ever heard.Only an infertile gal can transform a happy announcement into the saddest piece of news. The "Oh my gosh, I'm expecting!" news can send you into a downward spiral that can make you leave a room in tears. This "happy" news can make you tear up or cry internally for the next several hours or even

Just relax and you'll get pregnant...Just be patient and it will happen...You just need to wait for the right moment and the your baby will come.....Why aren't you pregnant yet? What are you waiting for? That baby you're holding looks good on you.WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Check your calendar.Lunch with Mary on Tuesday, book club on Sunday, ovulate on Monday. If someone looked at your calendar right now, they would know when you are set to ovulate and when your next period is due. Actually, if someone looked back 6 months ago, they would know all your recent menstrual cycles and your dates to "bing, bang, boom" your husband/partner. Fertility doctor wants to know

Similar to the five stages of death, when you find out you're not pregnant you find yourself going through a similar state of mind.Stage one: Denial No, this can't be my period. It looks too light. It could still be implantation bleeding. The blood on the tampon looks too brown. I'll just wait until the end of the day to take a pregnancy test. If the pregnancy test is negative, it could mean that

You might have noticed that large wall of baby photos at your fertility clinic office. You know the photos - they are mounted to the wall telling everyone that at least someone had a baby at this clinic. On each visit, you can't help but eye those sweet little babies and read through those thank you notes posted on the wall.Dear Doctor Uterus, My mommy and daddy wanted me for so long but nothing

As William Shakespeare once (sort of) said: "To test or not to test, that is the question."You have survived the dreaded two week wait and you still have a couple more days until it's okay to take a pregnancy test. You really want to test early. Can it really hurt to test a couple days early? Let me make the answer easier for you.DON'T TEST EARLY! A lot of thoughts go through your head:- If I

You love your coffee card. You can buy 9 cups and then get the 10th one free!The modern fertility clinic should offer the same thing: A "frequent IUI or IVF" punch card. Fail 5 times and get the 6th failure free! On your first visit, your RE would take your picture ID punch card and would appropriately stamp it with a big fat FAILED sign following each failed procedure. After 5 failed attempts,

At the beginning, you had no idea that it was not recommended to pee following sex.There were many times when you happily rushed off to the toilet after an adventurous baby-making experience. Your future children poured out of you and quietly drowned into the toilet bowl. Bad, bad mother. Later, when you started waiting that 30 minutes before going to the bathroom, you thought of all those poor

Thank goodness for the fertility nurses clear explanation about the IVF process. The nurse will contact you to clearly explain the following process for your treatment:On your day one, twirl around than contact the clinic to book an appointment with the nurse, call in the morning but not after 2pm, you will go to the drugstore and purchase a slew of fertility drugs, wear a red sundress, you will

What does an infertile gal regret in life?Regretting that you didn't start trying to conceive earlier.... Regretting that you didn't go to the fertility clinic months before....Wishing that you tried to conceive on your wedding night instead of waiting...Regretting that you didn't try a new fertility medication earlier...Regretting you didn't go back to school....Regretting that you dated that

You are the type of person who has a bunch of reminder sticky notes laying around your house.In your car - Remember to buy roast chicken for dinner. In your office - Call doctor's clinic before 3pm. By your bed - Dentist appointment in the morning. Your appointment at the fertility clinic is no different. At each appointment, you come armed with a list of questions either on paper (or in your

The last thing you want is someone searching though your purse, especially a security guard.It's inevitable. You go to a concert, you go through airport security and someone has to go through your hand bag. They may be searching for weapons but what they'll find is something very very different.BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. The sensors go off and security searches your bag.What's this? A package of ovulation

Don't say the "A" word in front of you. You are not ready to hear it.There are those of you who have chosen adoption as your first choice, and others who have decided to adopt based on circumstances. Then there are the rest who can't yet bring themselves to even think about adoption. You believe that adoption is a wonderful thing but not sure if it's right for you. You may believe that discussing

Infertility hurts.If you've ridden the infertility roller coaster, you know that infertility can make you feel depressed, upset and completely alone. Your chest may ache, your heart may break and you feel like giving up on a daily basis. Everyone else seems to be getting pregnant and you feel like this may never happen for you....You're right. You should feel depressed about your life, and you

Positive affirmations.You have read the book, The Secret, and know that if you really believe something will happen, it will. Oprah says so. People have told you that if you believe you will get pregnant, then it will happen. So why hasn't it yet? In the inner workings on your mind, you repeat positive pregnancy affirmations in hopes that your womb will somehow hear your pregnancy desires."I will

Your BBQs and parties are not the same since your friends had kids.Before babies, your parties were filled with a lot of alcohol, inappropriate behavior, and someone inevitably passing out in your flower garden. You could always count on an old high school pal spilling something on your rug and having to rush someone to the hospital emergency room. Those were the good old days.Now, the majority

Milk expires, yogurt expires, mayonnaise expires. Do you know what else expires? Your ovulation predictor kit and pregnancy tests!Now, you could argue that you go through these tests so often that they will never reach its expiration date. But what happens if you need an emergency one and find an old test in the back of your closet?"Best used by September 2002." Uh Oh! Should you use it? It is an
