A little fertility humor

in Trouble TTC
Two nights ago my hypochondriac cousin came over for my birthday. I love her to death but she is ALWAYS "sick". She was making people feel her forehead for fever and mentioned that she went to the doctor that day for having a fever. She then tells me that her fever was 99.1 at the doctor's office. The first thing that comes out of my mouth? "That's not a fever, your probably just ovulating." Haha! ::Whispers:: Pst Bethany, your infertility is showing ;) She gave me a confused look, I thought it was humorous.

    That's funny...I probably would have said the same thing!
    Me: 25
    Dx PCOS (June 2006, re-confirmed March 2012), Anemia (May 2010-Still fighting to correct it), Fibromyalgia (May 2011)
    Initial b/w - normal
    HSG (March 2012) revealed right tube open and looking great. Left tube deformed with hydrosalpinx.
    Lap (April 2012) Removal of left fallopian tube. Right tube open and viable, but "rather enlarged." NO evidence of endometriosis...Uterus looks beautiful and "very capable" of carrying a pregnancy!
    October 2012 - Clomid 50mg + trigger + IUI = BFN
    With all factors taken into account, RE is recommending IVF. Planning on moving forward with treatment as a single woman using DS by Summer 2013.
    After 17 months of trying, Surprise BFP #1 2.15.2008 | EDD 8.7.2008 | Lost 2.16.2008
    After 2 more years of trying, Surprise BFP #2 1.29.2012 | EDD 9.11.2012 | Lost 1.29.2012
    Surprise BFP #3 3.27.2012 | EDD 12/2/2012 | Lost 4.1.2012

    someecards.com - Get a colonic?!? Some older lady said that's what she did to cure her infertility...Who knew a fancy enema and a sparkling clean ass would cure my infertility.

    ITA! That is hilarious! Although I am jealous of all you post O 99'ers! I am lucky to get to 98! 

    Love that line as well! My temps are also very low. I'm in the 96 range pre O, and low 97s post O. These are morning temps though. After I'm up and moving around, I get to 98, but never 98.6. I would consider 99.1 a fever for me, albeit not a serious one that I definitely wouldn't go to the doctor for.
