Infertility bingo (ticker inside)

QuizzleQuizzle
in Infertility

On another forum, I'm in a discussion with some child-free folks about how why telling somebody to adopt rather than do fertility treatments is insensitive. I've just realized that the best way to  get this point across is by comparing it to Childfree Bingo, which is a list of comments often said to those who are child free when they express their desire to have no children. It's said so frequently you can make a bingo card out of it -- the same thing is there with infertility, as I'm sure we all know.

So I thought I'd come to you ladies for some suggestions..

 

The most obvious ones I can think of are:

Why don't you just adopt?

It's God's plan.

Relax!

    It happens when you stop trying

    Everybody is not meant to be a parent/mother/father

    Your time will come

    You'll get a baby somehow (like how, kidnapping?)

    Go on Vacation. That's what I did.

    You can just have my kids.

    As soon as so and so adopted they became pregnant.

    Your time will come.

    Don't think about it, you are stressing yourself out.

    "Did you keep your legs up & a pillow underneath your butt because that is what I did"

    put your legs in the air afterwards

    if you adopt, you'll get pregnant- that always happens

    Just relax

    just drink some wine/have a beer beforehand

    Are you sure you want kids? as their kid is throwing a tantrum.
