Because we can't be depressed all the time...

Do you ever find something to laugh about with your situation? I know that for most of us it's a hard and trying process that is usually nothing but upsetting, but what do you find to laugh about?

My SIL had her second baby a couple months ago, and DH and I have been spending more time with them. When I hold and talk to the baby, my DH says "you talk to him like he's one of the cats!" and I said, "Do I? Or do I talk to the cats like their children?!" Which is so true! My cats are my children (for now) but I talk to them and treat them like kids who need to be disciplined. Hilarious! But great practice! Now, if only I could teach the cat to say 'mama'!

We often laugh about DP's swimmers (or lack of). We have decided that the handfull we have are like an elite SAS squad, battling against the odds to free the hostage!

We talked about it with some close friends and when we explained there were only 6 in the sample our friend said its like the one at the front of the bus turns round to do a head count and is like 'bugger me, there are 39,999,994 empty seats, where is everyone' !

We have to giggle about it, however hard it is or the really upsetting part will dominate our lives.

Our RE told us we have a 5% chance of conception, even with IUI/meds. DH and I joke that our chances of conception are about the same as someone that is using birth control properly.
I have told some of my friends that have had tubals that if I get pregnant, they better watch out because they are next.

I can't think of a particular joke, except sometimes I kid around about all the money I spent on birth control before I figured out I didn't need it!!

We joke about natural birth control too. And its no joke, my dogs are my kids. When they are in trouble I tell them "just wait till your daddy comes home"
