Infertility Veterans

What are the odds?

This is the week.  ER is today and ET is on Thursday.

DH woke up nice and early to produce and drop off his specimen and of all days, the local news is set up outside our clinic doing a story (all week!) on conceiving babies!  For all you Boston folks - it's Fox25 and it was Elizabeth (Lily) Hopkins that was there.  We watch that news every single day and we honestly feel like we know all the reporters and we refer to them all by first name.  As DH was walking out of the house I said "You can say Hi to Lily, but please don't do any interviews!"

He just texted me that he saw her and made eye contact, but didn't talk to her.

Let's hope this is some kind of sign that this week is going to go WELL!!!!!

Re: What are the odds?

  • Sounds like it was planned by someone who wasn't IF...not a lot of people want to be caught off guard at 7:30 am outside the fertility clinic, LOL.  I hope this all means fantastic things for you and YAY for it finally being in sight!  Good Luck!

    Yes, we're out about our IF struggles, but I still wouldn't want to talk about it on the news.  I don't know if they were actually interviewing people.  I'll need to watch the report later on tonight.  I mean, even if they weren't interviewing people but they caught someone walking in or out on camera, that would be weird.  Although, if they caught my donor walking in or out, I might be intrigued!  Smile
