Infertility is great because...

I saw a post on FF yesterday with this title, and at first I couldn't believe someone was posting this. But the more I thought about it and the more I read other's responses I became sucked in. These are my favorite answers...

  • "...I'm no longer afraid of how we'll pay for diapers/child care/toys/college funds etc. since I know once we DO get pg, the money I've been spending for things to pee on will surely cover those expenses with vacation money to spare!"
  • "...I now know (in great detail) what the inside of my uterus looks like!"
  • "...We'll never need birth control again. And none of our kids can ever claim to be an 'accident'."
  • "...after all the testing and exams, I've overcome 'stirrup anxiety'."
  • "...people think DH and I don't, or don't know how to, have sex. Silly people...if they only knew I know more about the male and female reproductive system than most AND not only do we have sex we schedule it!!"
  • "...Each month I am NOT pregnant I can get drunk!"
  • "...I ran across the syllabus for a med school course on infertility, and I was familiar with every single topic...I felt soooo smart!!!"
  • "...my RE told me I know more about the reproductive process than most OBs!"
  • "...my insurance is finally paying out more than my wallet is handing them."
  • "...I have to use my toes and DH's hands to count the number of people who have seen my Hoo Ha!"
  • "...I am the one that is taking the longest to get pregnant out of all my RL friends and family. I'm so proud!!"
  • "...I get asked to watch everyone's kids because I don't have any and I 'must' have the time."
  • "...when someone needs help with something I'm the first one they call because..again.. I have no kids! I 'am' so special!!!"
  • "...I realized all that worrying I did when I was a teenager, having sex, and getting pregnant was for nothing."
  • "...all of my friends with newborns complain about how tired they are because they never sleep. While every night I sleep soundly with my DH by my side."

Sometimes it helps to take a little time to laugh to give you a new perspective on a situation. Care to add any? Feel free to comment.
