You know you're infertile when

XXXXX222 · April 2010

you have several half-finished packs of BCPs in your medicine cabinet.

I don't know why I don't just toss them. Really, WTF am I going to do with them? Sell them on the black market? Build something with them?

or when I have a 1/2 bottle of vag suppositories in the fridge because AF came before using them up or lupron left over as well!

When you have a box full of syringes in your closet that you're not throwing away b/c you know you'll need them. When you save the "good" sharps container b/c it's the only one you have that's big enough for your needs.

Ha, yep! Can relate to that one too!

I have to reread any sentence with "ds" in it because I read it as donor sperm the first time through. It's almost always supposed to be read as dear son.

When you have needles and syringes stashed all over the house! Closets, drawers...gross!

when you look at your exp. date on your milk and think "okay this will expire on my beta day"

Hey Gidge! I do this when the word "if" is capitalized for emphasis. I read it as "infertility". I also mistype the words "standing ovation" and "standing ovulation". LOL

DH tried to throw mine out the other day, and I about hurdled over the kitchen counter to stop him.

I can't explain it either.

This! I have a box of Crinone and a box of Endometrin, 1/2 a bottle of Estrace, and the last of my Lupron still in the fridge.

when you know you are going to have company, and you stash everything to the back of the fridge, or put your prometrium in a drawer in your bathroom because the prescip says vaginally.....then you hope and pray that they don't find anything!!!

...when you refer to your nurse as "my nurse." Who the heck has their own nurse?

...when you get your action from a dildo cam.

I think fertiles should know never to type the word if in caps for emphasis. I ALWAYS read it as IF = infertility. You remember that insurance commercial that had the big IF on the screen and said that life was full of IFs? That one really messed me up!

When you are standing at a flat-top grill restaurant with your DH and when you open a handi-wipe instead of wiping your hands your proceed to lift up your shirt and rub it on your stomach, just as you would an alcohol pad in preparation for an injection Embarrassed

XXXXX222 · April 2010

LOL at "my nurse". I say this too.

And no, thank you ladies. If we're going to cry about it, we might as well laugh a little too.

st.augbride · April 2010

Lol, I've saved all my leftover pills. I have mostly empty bottles of premarin, doxycycline from the HSG, leftover provera... As if I'll ever do anything with these!

When you have a favorite phlebotomist.

Rachael07.07.07 · April 2010

-you wonder at yor IUI/IVF if that constitutes as a threesome

-If you have ever shot up in a bathroom or a car and it was perfectly legal (car for me)

OMG, LOL! Unfinish packs of BCP (check), old sharps box (check), Ovidrel in fridge from last year that I'm saving cuz I know I'll need it (check).

When you decide on a new job based on their proximity to good RE's. And consider moving halfway across the country to take a job w/coverage for up to 4 IVF's...
