Ten weeks, four days. Day 76 in the quest to chase our little miracle
WEATHER FORECAST: – Today’s post outlook is mainly sunny with a touch of sarcasm. A word to the wise: before leaving your home, please remember to pull out your sarcastic hat, or alternatively a protective sarcasm umbrella would be advised…
I remember back in the day i was speaking to a woman about my infertility, she was pregnant for the second time, and each time had been very easy for them. At the end of the conversation i just let out a sigh and said “why does it have to be so hard” and she very hastily responded with “no its not, just stop the pill” she didnt even realize what she had said to me, and how hurtful it was, and i doubt she ever will, but in her defense, well it was easy… Step one – stop taking the pill, period, end of steps…
So in honor of all things that are never as they seem, i give you:
THE TOP TEN STEPS TO FALLING PREGNANT (what there are TEN whole steps?)
1. Stopped taking the pill
What your not pregnant?
2. Counted your cycle days
What your not pregnant?
3. Kept counting your cycle days, then timed baby dancing
What your still not pregnant?
4. Kept counting your cycle days, timed baby dancing, AND began using ovulation prediction kits
What how could you not be pregnant yet?
5. Kept counting your cycle days, timing baby dancing, using ovulation prediction kits, PLUS now you are temping as well?
What is wrong with you, you must be doing SOMETHING wrong!
6. Kept counting your cycle days, timing baby dancing, using ovulation prediction kits, you are temping, and you have seen your GP
Your still not pregnant? Have you concidered taking a holiday?
7. Stop counting, meet with fertility specalist, start taking the pill again
What kind of specialist is this telling you to go back on the pill? I know for a FACT that is not how you fall pregnant!
8. Start counting cycle days, start sniffing, start injecting, get eggs removed, get eggs and sperm put together, get embryo put back in you, wait…
Really, what is this specialist doing? how could you not be pregnant? They did put the thing back in you didnt they? Why arnt your pregnant then? It cant be that hard… really!
9. Repeat step 8
Now this is just silly, i think you should see another doctor, have you tried just relaxing? Maybe you should take another holiday?
10. Repeat step 8, give up all hope. get a puppy instead….
See i told you so! All you had to do was relax…
