You know you're infertile when . . .

kekis · June 2010

. . . you find an OPK in your scrapbook supplies.

Please add your own, so I don't feel alone.

DeputiesWife · June 2010

...you find monitor sticks in with your hair bands...

roselln2 · June 2010

You find yourself staring at men in the mall thinking they look like your DH and wondering if they want to donate...

aplus816 · June 2010

you have a basket in your bathroom drawer solely for needles, syringes and other IVF paraphenalia. you know, right next to the hair dryer and bobby pins.

maddie789 · June 2010

When you have a designated bag of popcorn kernels in your freezer, just for numbing your ass right before you put the needle in.

amaksym05 · June 2010

When you have the move the stack of Gonal-f pens to get to the milk in refrigerator.

halfnhalf · June 2010

. . . you have a section on the door of the fridge reserved for your injectable meds, and you keep OPKs and HPTs in your suitcase so that you're never without - even while traveling.

Dragonfly1226 · June 2010

When your sharps container is a regular part of your bathroom decor.

Trippleb · June 2010

You find a needle tip cover in your cooler during a fishing trip.

Wish they came in decorative colors.

mrshoppy_1231 · June 2010

You have codes to put on your calendar so you know what your Dr apts are for but nobody else will know if they see it...

momto3cats · June 2010

You have pictures of your embryos. (Although I actually threw mine away)

k-mart · June 2010

When there are opk's in every purse and make-up bag you own - just in case. Um even ones you left in there because you had to run back to your desk and didn't have time to let it develop while sitting on the toilet. (they're in a zip loc and the stick kind with a lid! No pee leaking out.)

When the only drawer in your nightstand holds everything you have been able to buy in the hopes of getting pregnant - and the Pregnancy Test trips stare you in the face whenever you open the drawer - hope the cleaning lady never does that - but she'll learn her lesson.

When you have expired digital pregnancy tests "hidden" from when you thought "it can't take that long? I should be able to use one in 6 months." They expired a year ago. I can't seem to throw them away.

kekis · June 2010

You have a stash of baby items hidden somewhere so you can't see them, but you achingly know they are there.

TryingforBaby1 · June 2010

...You have vaginal suppositories on the back of your toilet and you do not even think to put it away when guests come over. Embarrassed

...You say sperm on a daily basis.

....You can not remember the last time you had sex just because we were both in the mood. Crying (Mental note: seduce DH this weekend!)

Jill070707 · June 2010

When a day without a shot feels strangely empty.

When you're not worried about cellulite in a bathing suit, you're worried about people seeing the injection bruises or PIO lumps.

kthappy76 · June 2010

all travel is scheduled around your cycles. you have pre-seed and crinone in your nightstand, a follie pen in the fridge, a CBEFM and stacks of sticks in the bathroom, and a box of random IF paraphernalia in the guest room.

you saved your only stick with two lines ever (this months OPK) because you've never seen it before on a pg test and you really like the look of it.

you seriously consider it a great idea to spend a month in india w/the in-laws bc IVF only costs a few grand there.

I hope you don't mind I LOL on this one...

jnennapooh@aol.com · June 2010

When you purchase opks, hpts, tampons and pads at the same time.

amaksym05 · June 2010

When a date with the Vag cam is just like another day in the office.

. I used to do this and worry that the clerks would think I was nuts.

love2b_mrst · June 2010

You are on birth control pills even though you are trying to get pregnant.

You have bottles and bottles of weird herbs, supplements, vitamins, etc. that were going to be the miracle that got you pregnant, but of course didn't work.

LaneyLooLoo · June 2010

When you actually wonder if the advice from someone?s grandfather, ?doing it standing up?, would work. I can?t remember who shared that story, but it was adorable.

When you consider ordering the vagina necklace and ovary cover ?just in case.?

SO true- i totally do this!! LOL!

when you buy pinapple core and pomegranate juice thinking that it will help and obsessing over how much to eat/drink.

when you always put your legs up on the wall after BD - so much for cuddling after!

when it's the 2ww and every possible cramp, sore boobs, nausea, headache, and other pg symptoms make you crazy and delusional/hopeful

when O stands for ovulate not Orgasm

GenRN45 · June 2010

...when you can tell the phlebotomist which vein to use.

...when DH goes to the doctor with you, and doesn't have to be told to sit at the head of the bed.

LOVEDBYD · June 2010

knitfaced:
you always look at the toilet paper after wiping.

Totally!!!

Missy0708 · June 2010

I cann totally relate to all of these plus:

Whenever someone says, I have to tell you something, you brace for yet another pregnancy announcement.

My favorite was the time I went to CVS to purchase 2 items - HPTs and a 12-pack of Miller Lite. I mean, I was pretty sure it was going to be negative!
