Our lists are looking good girls!! Here's another one!

Maybe we can start on "What not to say to a hormonal/someone struggling with infertility"? :

1. Just relax, if you remain calm your chances will be better
2. Take a vacation and don't think about it, that's when you'll get pregnant!
3. Your sister is pregnant, when are you going to start trying?
4. You are so lucky to be married with no kids. You should enjoy it while you can. You have no idea what life is like afterwards.
5. Said sarcastically from someone who already has children - "Oh...I would think twice about children, hahaha! They are crazy when they get older, hahaha!!" (Personally, I don't think it is funny at all!!!)



We should start a list of what we want on IVF Island. I'll get it started:
1. A free, unlimited HPT Dispenser in each bathroom stall. (Just in case we don't like the results we get the first poas, we can test until we do!)

2. Fresh bowls of pineapple daily delivered to your cabana (gotta help with implantation!)

3. Mandatory calls from our RE asking how we are doing each day. (Got to make this one mandatory for our RE's cause otherwise mine would never call!)

Any other essentials?
