I found this on another blog. Some of you may not know what some of it means, but for me, it's super funny and is a great comic relief about something so unfortunate and depressing.
You know you're infertile when...
1. Your nurse knows you when you call. (Yes, she knows me very well. She has my birthday memorized -what they have to ask in order to obtain my charts-. She tells me, "Good thing I like you, since I see you so much!" And then I joke back that I'm purposely causing my infertility so I get to see her all the time. She's really helped me a lot during this time).
2. You know every acronym that has anything to do with TTC. (BFP, BFN, HPT, CM, DH, BBT, BBs, OPK, 2WW, BD...the list goes on. And most of you probably don't know what the heck I'm talking about. Haha).
3. You can tell the doctor your temperature to a hundredth of a degree. (This one doesn't really apply to me because since I don't ovulate I never really watched my basal body temperature to monitor my ovulation).
4. You've stopped thinking of days in terms of actual dates, and have started going by cycle days alone. (Haha! I don't really do that, but that's funny).
5. You refuse to go into a hot tub in fear of hard boiling your eggs. (Yes, and I pretty much refuse to let R hot tub, too, for fear of him boiling away his little guys).
6. Your mood is in direct correlation with the line on your BBT chart. (Never really charted, so this doesn't apply to me either).
7. You've said the words "forced marital coitus" to your husband. (I haven't said those words, but "coitus" definitely has become more of a planned event, rather than romantic spontaneity).
8. You've completly filled the "nursery" with other things in hopes of moving them out soon. (What would have been our nursery is the second bedroom. We bought several nursery things - R's either stuffed them away in the closet or taken them over to my parent's, I can't stand to see them).
9. You plan family visits and events around ovulation. (We did for several months, not so much anymore...especially since R's been travling so much lately).
10. You have zero time for complaining mothers or pregnant women. (They seriously need to SHUT IT!).
