What a creep! Doesn't she know you're having problems?

She knows...when she said that my husband gave me a sheepish look, because he knows if it wasn't his mom, I would have went off, lol. I told her I quit trying so to pressure her daughter for another grandchild.

Your hubby should stand up to her an tell her to lay off. If he doesn't just tell her you can't get pregnant cause her son doesn't have any b***s.

Small problem with the whole impregnantion/fertility thing:
Women are only fertile for 24 hours. In order to predict accurately what day she would ovulate someone would have to take her waking temperature every morning before she gets out of bed (that one is now shot because she's probably not taking her temp every morning while on the run with Daniel). Blood/urine tests can't really predict that sort of thing accurately enough. It can tell you when it happened, but only in retrospect.

This statement isn't quite true. Trust me when I tell you I know. My wife and I had trouble having kids and we ended up going through the In-Vitro process. They put you on meds (injectables in my wifes case) get the system all primed up and then give a shot on a specific day. 24 hours later they go in to "harvest" (In-Vitro takes all the fun out of having kids you end up with terms like harvesting ) the eggs. It is like clockwork.

This does nothing to support the impregnantion/fertility theory because she would still need to be taking the meds, but for clarification they really can control exactly when a woman ovulates.

as another IVF'er I totally concur.

I had mentioned the trigger shot...well, it's been awhile ago...as a reason it couldn't be what her shots were since she had the shots more often that one would have the trigger shot. But, aside from that aspect, that is a pretty accurate portrayal of how ovulation goes.

WARNING OFF TOPIC: From someone who has been there take it in stride. Modern medicine is amazing. You will get there eventually. After you have two like me you will begin to wonder why you worked so hard for all of that stress

The bad part is it all becomes very mechcanical and medical after awhile

It certainly has become mechanical.

Having not gotten to IVF yet I didn't immediatly think of "egg harvest". It's kind of creepy when you think about it.

Warning :off topic continues!

When I had my eggs harvested , my Dad (yes my Dad, my husband was out of town) was in the waiting room cracking jokes about having some bacon (get it, with those eggs, ha ha)
Anywhoo,
My point is to keep a sense of humor throughout, it will save you!
And I found fertility related forums to be pretty great, talking to people who are going through the same thing helps!

And distract yourself with as much LG15 as possible!

Whoooo.....I'm glad someone was amused....thought I might have gone too far on that one but it was just TOO good!

I chuckled on that It's more like her apron strings are cutting off circulation to them, though.

Well my 2 cents is hubby started wearing boxers, no more hot showers, I charted my temp every morning and by the next month I was pregnant. Now we have our own little Nacho Libre.

They did it in Temple of Doom, and that was like the second PG-13 film in cinema history. Of course, we've gotten more prudish since then....
