Infertility Humor of the Day

Why attend a baby shower when you can throw yourself an infertility party?

Fun games can include:
1. egg retrieval: an ovary-shaped pinata stuffed with Cadbury eggs
2. fertilization: pin the sperm on the ovum
3. see-saw (low-budget) or, if you really want to splurge, rent Emotion: the larger-than-life roller-coaster (big budgets)
4. Guess the number of negative pregnancy tests in the jar -- win 5% off your next IVF cycle
5. Another guessing game:  Guess how much money the guest of honor/hostess has spent so far on unsuccessful babymaking.
6. Bingo, using the top phrases you should never say to an infertile.  Free space is "it'll happen when the time is right."
7. Instead of "What Time is It, Mr. Fox?" play "What Time is it, Dr. Reproductive Endocrinologist?"
8. Freeze (an embryo) tag!  (Warning: not everyone survives the thawing process.)

Serve sushi, wine, coffee, and anything else a pregnant woman can't eat.
