  "I know!  Why don't you get drunk, that worked for a bunch of girls in my highschool", ugh, how so very true is that statement.  Perhaps if we all turn into drunken sluts we'll get pregnant and have healthy babies?  Sounds like a plan.

  As the rest of the episode went on, I had to laugh because of how unrealistic it was. But the part about the cost and chances? Spot freaking on.

  TTC #1 since Feb. '12. dx: "unexplained" IF
  

  After 2 shitty IVF cycles and 1 loss at 6+2 (EDD 11/7/14), DH and I are pursuing DIA.

  11/17/2014 - ACTIVE AND WAITING!

  
  

  Pregnancy was never the end goal; being a mom was.

  I've been holding out on GP: I got drunk once and started a blog: Here it is (11/7 update)

  It's a myth. I would have like, 200 babies by now... Law school would have been like the octomom and the lady from 19 kids and counting put together. I'm hear to tell you, you need more than booze. Perhaps it's those awesome naval piercings that do the trick.

  Married 2011.

  Baby Boy 2015.

  And how about how Phoebe got a positive pregnancy test the DAY OF transfer! Ha!! Even if her body is faster than modern medicine as she claimed, that's just not even remotely possible! Regardless, I love Friends and I so miss that show!

  In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

  Well, the test could be positive the day of the transfer....but it would likely just be the trigger shot! Ha!
