IVF Barbies

This is SO funny...and true.  *sigh*

The only problem I have with it is that not all REs are Kens...some of them are Barbies, too!

    That is HILARIOUS!!!! I could totally relate to everything. Who wrote this? I love her with quiet desperation.

    LAP - This was written by Tertia Albertyn, she lives in South Africa and has actually written a book: http://www.amazon.com/So-Close-Infertile-Addicted-Hope/dp/0620430303

    I stumbled across the IVF Barbie post on her blog by total accident.

    Here's her "About Me": http://www.tertia.org/about.html

    So funny. I made the mistake of reading her "about me". I was like...wow, she went thru a lot and was successful...then i read: "May 2003 – IVF#8 – 8 eggs, 4 embies, positive, quads, S/R to twins, lost one twin, Luke at 21w
    Jan 2004 – Ben born prematurely at 26w, 4 Jan 2004, died 14 Jan 2004". I feel freaked out. How will I make it to Oct. or even Sept. Maybe I will never tell anyone my sister is knocked up. Then if it works just show up w/twins one day to work or elsewhere.

    bbchi - I hear ya. I'd love to wait until Sep/Oct and just introduce the stomach pets when they're out in the world.

    ok, im almost 100% positive that babybumpbound aka bellacossina also had this on her blog a few posts back. Hers included pictures! Wonder if this is a chain thing, or who the original author is?

    yeah, i thought this looked familiar? it's interesting - after all that she's been through, she just had baby #3 naturally.

    "Apparently, contrary to popular belief, it is possible to conceive through S E X!! I know!! I wouldn't have believed it either - and yet, 9 months after some 'marital relations' my third child was born: Baby Max 15 May 2009 Surprise!! Here’s your baby! At age 40! WTF!"
