Infertility is nothing but one long running joke. I picked up my birth control pills this weekend...that's right, I said birth control pills. I haven't had to remember to take one of these babies since, oh, 2008. The irony of going on "the pill" now that I am desperate to get pregnant is not lost on me. I remember when I finished my last pack, six months before we got married, in preparation for starting our family. I asked my doctor when I should stop, and she said that giving my body about six months to become 'regular' before trying would be perfect. Perfect. (Sigh.)On Saturday night, I almost forgot to take my pill, at which point I chastised my husband for failing to remind me.
"You better be careful," I said, "you could get me knocked up!"
"Yikes," he replied, "I better be more careful. What would your dad say?"
It was a funny moment that only a three-years infertile couple could have. Keep the humor alive.
It's funny the ironies that infertility brings!
ReplyDeleteExcited for you guys starting on your IVF path!
It is ironic, and your banter w/ DH is cute! It sucks, but this is the first big step towards your IVF baby(ies)!! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. Definitely a funny moment. I remember the look I got from the pharmacist when I bought birth control pills and pre-natal vitamins at the same time. Oy.
