You Know You're An Infertility Patient When...

...the lab tech knows you by your veins rather than your name. "Oh, I remember you, you're the one I have to draw in the top of your hand instead of your arm."

...early morning his-and-hers lab appointments count as a "date". "But honey, it'll be romantic, really - we'll get to see the sunrise on our way to the lab." (It was a good effort, but he didn't buy it. Apparently his idea of fun at 6 a.m. involves sleep rather than a needle being jabbed into his arm. Imagine.)

More to come later (hopefully this weekend), but I just wanted to make a quick post since I've been quiet the last few weeks. Nothing majorly exciting going on, just beyond crazy busy at work. Since I was in a humorous mood for the moment, I figured I'd share...

Ya, the girls (and there are many) at my RE's office all know me. I think they look at me as a co-worker... it's sad, very sad.

Hang in there and can't wait for the updates.

"When sticking needles in your belly sounds like a fun Saturday night." : )

These are good ones. Thanks for the Wednesday morning humor. : )
