Just something to pass the time....
You know you've been at this too long if...
... RE has seen you naked more times than dh
... you spent enough on IVF last year to qualify for a medical deduction on your income taxes.
... you have to set an alarm so you don't forget to give yourself the shots.
... the front desk receptionist recognizes your voice.
... the veggie tray in fridge is full of left over meds that you hold on to "just in case" you will need them.
... you secretly hope the embryologist transfers someone else's embryos... your odds would surely improve!!!
Got these off another website, but sure we can come up with our own...Anyone else have ideas????

When your miracle child who is now almost 6 tells you that he no longer wants a brother or sister cause he doesn't want to go to the doctor's office anymore....
or when you go on a picnic and use those GREAT freezable packages your meds come in - cause you have so many of them....
or when you haven't actually been to your ob/gyn in more than four years ...
oh... and when you do go, you are explaining your charts to them!
this is fun!
ps... these are all real scenarios

Ha Amy! Glad someone else thinks this is fun (pitiful, maybe, but fun 
). btw... had no idea those packets they send the meds in are reusable!!! ooooo, a little "nugget of knowledge" i will tuck away...
Now, mine are not necessarily real, so i guess i should put a disclaimer on them.... ok, the veggie tray one is real, so is the alarm one, so is the tax deduction one (oooo, this is looking more and more pitiful!). I suppose even the "RE seeing my naked more times than dh" is true depending on the wk!!!
Just thought it would be an exercise in IVF humor.... so here are a few more
You know you've been doing this too long when...
... you have several packs of bcp with only the first 3, 4 or 5 missing.
... you have a shopping bag of extra needles and syringes.
... you have filled 3 sharps containers... and counting.
... you inject yourself (in the butt!) in the car while at a red light in city traffic, without flinching! (DH was driving)
...you no longer count down the hours until your next us.
... when benched, you look lovingly on your syringes and unused alcohol swabs.
... you'd place your bets on a petri dish full of blasts over a positive attitude any day, not that you've been able to produce either.

Sassy...What a fantastic idea!
How about...
You know all the women and/or couples in your RE's waiting room
You speak and know more about what's going on in your online buddies lives than you offline buddies.
You start to miss the bruises on your belly and butt
More to come I'm sure.
hugs,
Ange

ahhhh, you guys are killin' me they are SOOOO true! so glad you guys are enjoying this too...
Had water come up my nose when read Aunty's about AF! So in honor of that one....
You know you've been at this too long when..
... you refer to your husband in person as "dh" (owww... did that twice yest! AND used terms "poas", "AF" and "pio" in a conversation w/bf yest... had to explain all of them to her!)
... you stop icing before and heating after PIO 'cause it doesn't make a d*mn bit of difference for you anyways
Now i am sure that i read somewhere that laughing increases the chance of implantation... along with ALL SORTS of other wives' tales... but this one i am choosing to believe! (total selfish reason for starting this thread... heeheehee)

hey ladies
as you all know it's my first IVF but i can already identify with some of what you have said and am killing myself laughing....especially the one about referring to hubby as DH in real life!!! or AF....
i did think that maybe another one would be when someone tells you they called their dog ET (i think someone on this board did) and i thought why would you want to call your dog embryo transfer???

this is so fun! I am supposedly working with one of my students right now, so the "on the forum more than work".. very true...
You know you have been at this too long when....
you call all the staff by their first names and ask them how their weekend was... and know what they did last weekend too!
you can stop by Starbucks and pick up their favorites ... by memory...
you are selling ANYTHING you can get your hands on on EBAY to offset the costs... and thinking a bake sale wouldn't be that bad either.
your tax lady autofills your 2006 return with your standard 12K in uncovered med costs
your DH asks for something different in the "mens room" as he has seen them all...
your son asks his friends what "clinic" their mommies went to to get their brothers and sisters...
your not opposed to hopping on one leg backwards for twenty minutes while holding your breath if someone said it would help...
Great Idea Sassy! You should turn this into a Vegas show... forget Celine!
