The Twelve Days of An Infertile's Christmas

Christmas is tough for infertiles (see previous post on FaceBook annoyances related to kids and Christmas). This time of year more than any other, I am reminded on a constant basis of the fact that I am not a parent. So, I decided to do something that makes me feel better.

Jack Bauer has a habit of singing funny, made up words to songs (usually about one of our pets), and it always makes me laugh.

From now until Christmas, I will be rewriting the classic carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas. Feel free to sing along with me.

On the first day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me: wishes for a pregnancy
On the second day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me: two embryos and wishes for a pregnancy
On the third day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me: three Follistem pens, two embryos and wishes for a pregnancy...

Stay tuned for more lyrics...maybe the next one I attempt will be "All I want for Christmas is my fertility."
