My most embarrassing infertility moment was when I got a peak reading on my monitor and a positive OPK. My husband decided to work a overtime shift. No problem, right? Wrong, he works 24 hour shifts. He had to explain to someone why he needed to come home for 3 hours to get coverage. He drove home, we had a quickie and he drove back to work. The entire fire department knew he came home for a quickie and that I was ovulating. Now, I get asked if I am "peaking" or not. UGH!

  2. My most embarrassing infertile moment was when my husband had a business trip (during my ovulation period) and I went on the trip with him. He left his meeting early so we could 'get it on' and the housekeeper walked in on us. Embarrassing! (And i still didn't get pregnant)

  5. My most embarassing ever??? Besides seeing a bowel movement on the ultrasound? Was after a great date with the magic wand to count eggs my husband and I went to Kohls to go shopping and I was in black Capri's.... um.. they used way way too much blue gel and well, my pants were ruined suddenly in the middle of the store. It was such a large spot it looked like I peed my pants. I ran out of Kohls and rushed home!!!

  7. My most embarrassing infertile moment was kicking the dovtor in the head when he told me he was finished with the HSG in my hurry to get my legs together. He wasn't done taking out everything yet, but I was too embarrassed to care.

  9. My most embarrassing moment (so far) was disusing with the nurse drawing my blood my infertility. She kept asking me questions...I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

  10. My name is Brandee and my most embarrassing infertile moment was admitting to not only my husband, but also his parents and sister (along with her spouse and 2 gorgeous children) that I had a dream after each of her children were born that I ran away with the kids and raised them as my own. Needless to say, I was not left alone with them for a while after that.

  11. My most embarrassing fertile moment happened on the phone. I was discussing my cervical mucus with my bff when her cell phone dropped our call. The phone rang right away so I picked it up without checking caller ID and continued right on describing my CM. It was the library calling to tell me a book I put on hold was in. I apologized profusely but I still blush horribly when I run into that librarian.

  12. My most embarrassing infertile moment was my very first Transvaginal Ultrasound. My doctor was sick so I had my very first guy doctor. Not only was I slightly weirded out by a dude, but he had a super hot intern with him. It took twice as long as they tried their hand at locating eggs...and I was twice as mortified...

  13. My most embarrasing moment is hubby asking me why am I sticking raw egg white in my vagina. then commenting does it make scarambled eggs. I really need preseed....

  14. My most embarrassing infertile moment was sitting on the table in radiology right before the HSG in that tiny hospital gown. I go to a University teaching hospital and the young intern was so awkward about the whole thing. He kept staring at me and asking if I had any questions, wanted to hold his hand, etc. I just wanted to get it done and get the heck out of there!

  15. When I was living in Northern Canada (during the winter), I had to bring my husband's semen sample to the office and I was told to transport it in my bra between my breasts to keep it warm.

  16. My name is Melia, and my most embarrassing infertile moment was when the sonographer told me to go relieve my bladder in the middle of an ultrasound and gave me the shortest gown possible to walk across the LONG hallway to the restroom in front of the glass waiting room door. Now i make sure i'm taken care of BEFORE scan time!

  17. My most embarrasing moment just happened. I went to a local church which I read was doing a special blessing for couples expecting, trying to conceive or adopting. At one point in the mass the priest calls all couples to the front for a special blessing. About 15 couples went up with us..and I took one look around and EVERY other couple was very very pregnant. Well- I broke out into the UGLY CRY! Right up on the altar! Snot goin everywhere...I could not contain myself. As if that wasn't bad enough, I have had 2 coworkers come up to me today and told me thay saw me at mass (had no idea they went there) and anyway, they wanted to congratulat me! And cue the ugly cry all over again!!! Mortified!!

  19. My most embarrassing infertile moment is having my husband come home and my grandmother is on the phone with him telling him he cant keep his phone in his pocket or use a lap top bc she thinks it is effecting his sperm quality.

  20. My most embarrassing infertile moment was... (Oh dear, thank Gosh the internet provides at least a BIT of anonymity)... Long story short, my husband and I had to meet on our lunch break at the lab for our(/his) semen analysis. They didn't have a room available, and we didn't have time to go anywhere, so I had to give him a "hand" collecting the sample in the car. No one might of known when the specimen was collected, except the nurse specifically asked, "How long ago was the sample obtained?" And I had to blushingly say, "About 2 minutes ago." Clearly she knew what we had been up to, but we really had no choice! I swear, Grandma! ;)

  21. The name's T-Mac. My most embarrassing infertile moment was explaining to my mom that I didn't get pregnant this month because I was in the ER with a kidney stone the night I ovulated. I told her that I told my husband to roofie me just to get the job done but he was too considerate. I quickly realized I'd said too much!

  22. Transporting a sperm sample in my boobs to keep it sufficiently warm while driving 50 mins at a high rate of speed to get to my infertility dr's office in time.

  23. Name's Randi. My most embarrassing infertile moment probably was screaming during the hysteroscopy, my first IVF round. It hurt much more than I expected and I kicked out at the doctor a little and screamed very loud. Probably terrifying to the women in the waiting room.. :)

  24. My most embarrassing infertile moment was... running into a male co-worker at the store while I had an armful of ovulation kits. No one knew that I was trying to get pregnant, let alone having problems.

  25. Hi my name is Marta (in case it shows up as "Anonymous.") I suffer from facial hair growth (which my doctors are not sure whether it was from PCOS or hyperprolactinemia). Last year, when we went for our first fertility appointment, the intern remarked, "I see you have hair growth. Do you shave it, to get rid of it?"
    This was the perfect--and based in truth!--comeback that I should have said to her. "No. My husband used to be a barber in [his home country.] He gives ME a shave. Isn't it romantic? It's how we bond."
    Or, better yet? "My husband used to be a barber. He gives ME a shave. It's better than foreplay."

  26. My most embarrassing infertile moment was when I started taking prenatal vitamins, I ordered them online, and my Dad opened the package before I got home! (we lived with my parents at the time and he does get a lot of mail . . . ) Quite the conversation we had to have! ~Emily

  27. My most embarrassing infertile moment was...I hadn't been "home" in awhile so I decided to use 4 days of spring break (I work in a public school) to visit my family, my very large family. Knowing that I had been working through fertility treatments, they all expected I was announcing that I was having triplets and were obviously disappointed. Longest. 4. Days. Ever.

  28. Ashlee-

    My most embarassing infertile moment was when I was calling to check on my hubby's SA results and I called the wrong number. So unfortunately they said hello and I just responded with Yeah Hi, I was wondering how my husbands semen turned out. Epic Fail!

  29. My Most embarassing infertile moment was when DH and I were sitting in the fertility clinic 2 hours from home and a lady walks in the door and says Hi (lastname) to my DH which meant she knew him from work!!! OMG I wanted to shrivel up and die. ~Melissa W.

  30. My most embarrassing infertile moment was...hearing how my husband contemplated taking one of the videos from the "little room"... come to find out, he did. He said it should be part of our memory book. I don't know whether to laugh or be mortified.

  31. My most embarrassing infertile moment was when I loudly said (maybe shouted) 'because I'm infertile!!!' to the older man who was badgering me about having another baby so my (IVF miracle) daughter could be a big sister. He just. wouldn't. stop.

    My name is Sassy and my most embarrassing infertile moment occurred when I wasn't even there. My husband's family was having a get together and we skipped it. While there hubby's cousin informed everyone that we could have a baby if we wanted because IVF only costs $300. My sisters-in-law all argued but that that info was false but my husbands parents and the rest of the family believe her and still insist that she is right and that we should just suck it up and pay the $300. Which is funny because the cousin herself is infertile too. So I don't have kids because $300 is too much to pay.

  34. My name is Mandi. My most embarrassing infertile moment was when a coworker grabbed my bottle of progesterone suppositories out of the fridge and walked around figuring out who they belonged to because they were cleaning out the fridge that night.

  35. My most embarrassing moment occurred a few weeks ago. My husband and I are moving and we went to visit the area. While there, we decided to have dinner at a very nice restaurant. We had just ordered when my husband dropped a HUGE bomb: his 21yo brother and his horrible wife were 14 weeks pregnant! His sister-in-law has been absolutely nasty to me, going so far as to post on my Facebook and tell everyone that I'm infertile because God is punishing me for cheating on my husband! (It's actually my husband that's infertile) Anyway, I tried to keep it together, but couldn't. I burst into tears and started sobbing as the young waiter brought us our drinks. My husband had a beer and I had Diet Coke. I said to the waiter, with snot rolling down my face, "Since I can't get pregnant anyway, bring me a beer, too." I proceeded to get completely trashed, balling my eyes out, while my husband ate in silence and the people with a baby across the aisle stared at me. The poor waiter was completely uncomfortable! I was too intoxicated to care at the time, but I was completely mortified the next morning, not to mention hungover! Needless to say we won't be going back to that restaurant any time soon!

  36. My most embarrassing infertility moment would be when my mother in law came to my home, and walked in the door with out ringing the bell... No we weren't... but we were asleep the entire house husband me, pets. I then realized that my fertility stim shots were in the fridge in the kitchen. My family didn't have a clue that we were doing ANY TREATMENTS. My mother in law often brings left over food for my husband(what is she saying can I not cook?) So I ran into the kitchen.. in NO PANTS, NO BRA... JUST MY HUSBANDS SHIRT UNDERWEAR (I think) AND KNEE HIGH SOCKS.. I made it to the kitchen and hid the Stim shots as I was sliding all over the just cleaned wood floors!

  37. My name is Laura and my most embarrassing infertility moment was when we had to get my hubby's SA done. We couldn't do it the way the hospital wanted it done so we did our thing at home and I made my hubby hold the container as I threw on my clothes and raced out to the car, and drove 30 minutes to the hospital with the sample between my legs. When I flew into the lab, I rushed to the front of the line to announce that it was time sensitive.

    The lab guy pulls it out of the bag and says in front of everyone, thanks for keeping the semen warm! (With a warm fuzzy smile).

  38. My most embarrassing moment was having to ask my husband if he'd, um, taken matters into his own hands in the past few days before he gave a sperm sample, since it needed to be 2 to 5 days since his last ejaculation. My name is Ashley.

  40. (yes, i had to do this again, b/c i didn't spell check!) My name is Adriane and my most embarrassing infertile moment was "holding up the room" for too long the first time we went in to do an IUI. We took for.ever. in the room to collect the specimen, because we were both so distracted (uncomfortable) and had country music/commercials blaring. When we came out after the whole procedure and went to schedule our IUI for the next day, the receptionist made it clear that we had taken too long in their little room. oops!

  41. Arent almost all infertile moments embarrassing? Mine was when i was discussing with my boss regarding my nausea and sore boobs, while she insisted she knew I had to be preggo, and she ran and got a test, and made me take it. Stood outside the door. Needless to say I knew I wasnt, and i couldnt convince her other wise. To walk out and hand her a fresh peed on stick for her to see for herself. Nothing like handing your boss your peestick!

  45. My name is Justin and my most embarassing infertile moment was around family "support". My mother harassed my wife and I to "just adopt" and give up on the genetic link to our children, because adoption is "the moral thing to do." When we finally stood up to her and told her to cease trying to force her solution to our infertility, she called every friend I had, from kindergarden and up until now, and explained to them in detail how they should convince me to adopt. It was soooo embarassing to have our personal problems be put in the open like that, and having to apologize to all our acquaintainces that did not necessarily wish to be dragged into that particular discussion.
