Finding the humor...

jennh75b · August 2016

There was a thread similar to this a while back, thought it would be good to start a new one. Please share any TTC related humor, memes, gifs, etc. It's always a great way to cope...making fun of ourselves and the "process" to mask the pain/disappointment. This is what I was doing when I made these...

Nice topic! Here are a few that I've run across while looking for gifs and memes for other conversations.

This is how I think I must look when I show up at the hotel when I visit OH:

We can all relate:

OMG This one so much. Because yes, I did say that to H this past cycle, and many others before that. "You know we have to have sex more than once a week to make a baby, right? OR DO YOU JUST NOT WANT A KID AFTER ALL?" Then I have to calm down and apologize.

Hahaha! I don't have any to share but I really enjoyed these

@eggplantface - I don't think I ever said it out loud, I just always thought it in my head...back when we literally just did it once or twice, if that. It took him about 6 months and me dragging him to the OBGYN appointment to get the point across. But for a while I just wanted to shake him and say exactly what you said above.

Here's a few more...

And...I think this is my new favorite:

These are amazing.

@jennh75b omg, I am all of the ones you posted right now!

PoeMasque · August 2016

These are all thoughts I've had in the last week....

Hahahaha. Nothing to share but this is great!

@PoeMasque - I saw the crack whore one in my search but refrained from posting here in case anyone was an actual crack whore...

I have worked at a drug & alcohol rehab in the past and I have tons of empathy for addiction but it does pain me to see some of these people having children carelessly, when I've spent most of my life thinking I wasn't in a good place to have a child.

These are gold. Besides the pregnancy announcements, do you get stuff on your FB feed like, "we were done having kids, but.....whoops!". Fuckers.

jennh75b · August 2016

@amberruka I have not experienced that on FB but just now my cousin liked a girl's post of her ultrasound pic with nothing in it basically saying she's having an IUI and to wish her luck. She drew a big heart over the picture of nothing...well she says it's a pic of her egg getting ready for the swimmers. That's a first for me.

SP128 · August 2016

and why is everyone on Facebook pregnant?

So....we have to announce when we're getting inseminated now? And with that, FB announcements have jumped the shark.

Follow up question, though: Is it typical to go home with an ultrasound picture of your egg during an IUI, or did she have to specifically request it? Because I can't imagine needing attention so badly that you'd ask your doctor for an image of your egg for a FB post.

jennh75b · August 2016

I have no clue how/why you would want a pic of the IUI process. Perhaps she took a pic of the screen with her phone? Anyway, it looked like a big blob of NOTHING!!!! I do not understand feeling the need to post this on FB.
