My MIL has solved my infertility.

So my MIL called me like 3 times today to check on me. On the third time, I spoke to her. She says: it's great news your tubes aren't blocked!!" I say: "yes, yes it is". She replies with: "well I told L that it's the best diagnosis for him". At this point, I'm scratching my head because I have no clue where this is going. I say: "oh really, how so?". She says: "because it means more sex and it will just happen!". Well hell. If we had known it just took more sex, we wouldn't have needed to spend the several thousand we have on the tests and drugs!! I feel stupid for not even thinking of that! ::::inserts eye rolling emocation here::::

  • She forgot to tell you that it has to be in the back of your car.

  • LOL. First of all, the fact that she mentioned me and her son having sex totally embarrassed me.

  • That is really weird.  Especially since she seemed really excited that he'd be getting more!

  • I am SO glad she figured that out for you. What a relief. That goodness for all-knowing-MILs.

  • I knew this was going to be a good post just from the title.

    I was right. Your MIL is an absolute genius! I guess it could be worse though, she could not care, and not be involved. 

    Ooooo, maybe it's not the amount of sex, but the length of the action when you get it? haha.

     At first I thought Stacy's MIL was a genius but now I realize that you are the true genius.

    OMG this would be HILARIOUS!  She would die!!

    L was funny because when I called to tell him she had called to tell me that, he said she had already called him and basically told him the same thing. He said he was so embarrassed too.  Typically, that is not something his mother would ever say!  She must really want grandchildren.

    I'm glad to hear that's not the norm for her. Sadly, it is for my MIL.
