The view down there...

I must repost this humorous, yet very truthful blog:

Remember the good old days when you had a pap smear and only ONE doctor looked into your lady parts? Those were the days. During your fertility journey, you now have an assortment of doctors, interns, nurses, ultrasound technicians examining your lower region. It’s like a party down there.

As if going for fertility treatments wasn’t awkward enough, why must everyone in your city get to examine your lady parts on a daily basis? As you spread your legs during your ultrasound appointment, a doctor, a nurse, an intern and the person who writes down everything the doctor says, is usually in the room. And don’t expect the doctor to even know your name. You are probably just known as Vagina Number 3004.

The IVF Transfer is no better, except that even more people seem to be in the room, enjoying the view. “Hey, Isn’t that Doogie Howser over there?” “Oh look, even the secretary came by for the show!” For the IVF transfer – the transfer of the fertilized embryo back into the uterus – half the population seems to be in the room. “Hey, isn’t that your Great Aunt Agnes? I’m glad you could make it.” In some clinics, they also shine a bright light directly into your lady parts. Who is the star of the show now? This is not a broadway musical starring your vagina, you know. But you would let the entire cast of Glee come into that ultrasound appointment if it meant it would get you pregnant.

Number of people that have seen your lady parts during your fertility appointments: 10-20
Number of interns that have enjoyed your transvaginal wand show: 15-20
Getting pregnant from a fertility treatments: Priceless

***fingers crossed...legs aren't.***
