a perfectly good day of tv...

...ruined by too many IF storylines!  I gave myself the day off and found not one, but two, shows focused on IF. 

First, on General Hospital, Maxie is going to be a surrogate for Lulu (oh, and they seem to have brought back everyone that was on the show in circa 1988). 

Then on How I Met Your Mother, Robin found out (in a very unrealistic diagnostic scenario) that she couldn't have kids.

Boo.



TTC since Jan 2011,
5 IUIs from January to October 2012 = all BFN

I remember that episode of How I Met Your Mother.  I threw my slipper at the tv. DH now knows to watch for ridiculous IF related storylines for fear of his tv's safety.

Hopefully you managed to enjoy your day off and give your embies a nice, relaxing day to snuggle in.

Ya, there have been a few other shows lately where they throw IF into the story line.  It usually stings because they are making light of it.  A few weeks ago the "New Girl" had an episode about her worrying about having trouble getting pregnant >30 years old.  I like the show but I didn't want to feel uncomfortable and annoyed (also with dh sitting beside me).  It's just too sensitive of a subject to make fun of.

 You should have watched something positive like 'Dexter' or 'The Walking Dead', neither of those shows address infertility! :)
