What’s the Weirdest Thing You’ve Done During Fertility Treatment?
Fertility treatments lead to the strangest situations, and honestly, my life feels like a fake right now. Just yesterday, I was injecting myself in the kitchen while my neighbors were outside. I had to casually act normal, like, "Oh, nothing to see here, just stabbing myself with hormones!" 🤦♀️
And today? I went to a job interview in the middle of an IVF cycle while having hot flushes from the meds. Trying to look cool and professional while feeling like I was melting was definitely a highlight.
It doesn’t stop there:
- Taken progesterone in a family member's bathroom while on holiday because, of course, timing waits for no one.
- Shared my entire sex life with doctors. At this point, my husband might know less about it than they do!
- Oh, and the number of doctor who’ve seen my privates during surgeries and scans—pretty sure my vagina has had more public appearances than I have.
- Tried the good old “legs up” trick after, you know, midwives’ tales about gravity helping. Honestly, I looked ridiculous lying there, but hey, desperate times!
The whole process is so weird and awkward, sometimes you just have to laugh to get through it.
