Since I'm not going to submit myself to any proven scientific procedures in the next two months, I thought that this might be a good time to try some "alternative" remedies. (Not THAT one. I believe that's generally considered bad for women trying to get pregnant.) But I do remember my mom mentioning that her friend sells a product that can cure a…get ready for this…parasite that inhibits some women from getting pregnant. Apparently you can get this parasite from cats, and all it takes is a simple elixir to fix it. (I think she used a different word, but the whole thing conjures up images of Victorian-era sham artists who sold things like "Dr. Wixler's Magic Elixir". I think it's funny. Check out this website for more hilarious panaceas: http://thequackdoctor.com/). I also faintly remember reading an anecdote from "Getting Pregnant: What You Need to Know Right Now" (which, incidentally, I should have read a looong time ago), in which a doctor mentions a woman's miraculous pregnancy after being cured of just such a parasite. Depending on how much this costs, I just might give it a try. If nobody else can figure out what's medically wrong with me, maybe it IS possible that something is eating my unfertilized eggs for breakfast. You never know.
