Finding the humor in infertility: increaseyourchances.org

Has anybody else seen this website by the makers of Gonal-F and ovidrel: Increase Your Chances ? Infertility is frustrating and saddening, but this website has found an endearing and humorous way to educate people about the subject. I think it's very well done and am considering sending the link to a few close (and fertile) friends who are trying to be supportive of me but who just don't quite understand what living with infertility is like.
