Hallmark Behaviors of an Infertile Myrtle

Today we went into the doctor to do our infections disease blood tests (don't worry guys, standard operating procedure for every patient. Lets them know if any extra precautions need to be taken and, if there were any present, would require a slightly more cautious method of cry-storage of all remaining embryos.).

After both of us getting a few vials drawn, we went to meet with the accounting lady and sign the biggest check we've ever written.

The strangest thing happened - I didn't even blink writing that check (or the separate check for the anesthesiologist). I'm just so. stinking. excited. to be making progress. A little scared too, maybe, but mostly really excited.

It got me thinking - infertile chicks are weird. We do some weird stuff. We have some weird behaviors and thinking patterns. So if you know one, or you are one, take a minute to appreciate this:


HALLMARK BEHAVIORS OF INFERTILE FEMALES:

• You have bought enough pregnancy tests in your life to stock a Walgreens for the duration of its useful life
• You knew none of them would be positive

• You could host a medically accurate seminar on reproductive function, lack thereof, and appropriate medical intervention for any number of issues- without spending a day of your life in medical school.
• When dropping your pants for a stranger was once traumatic, now you can't get your panties off fast enough.
•  You have developed a coping behavior so distracting you don't even notice when they finish drawing your blood (thank you, Insta).
• Oversharing? What's that? 
• You acquire the unique ability to guess who among your friends and associates is within days of announcing a pregnancy.
• You pay more money for fertility treatment than you've paid for a home, a vehicle, or any other typical life expense and you don't even care.
