Yes, I’d do the ‘what if’. And I think the show would be called ‘Baby or Bust’.

Thank you both for working on the blogroll; I can't even imagine what a big job that is.

No way on the filming, mostly because all my clients would see it and it might hurt business. We're so private only a few people even know after 4 years. Cool idea, though.

THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

Hehe. Fingerboarding through ART.

Um, I would not. Then again, my treatments were pretty well insured. Do I have to compare it to being completely uninsured? I'm thinking no.

Maybe we could just go with "The Fingerboard".

As for the reality show – I think I’d do it. I am not that private of a person, But it would be one boring show watching paint dry. At times it would be a derailed trainwreck. The problem: I am NOT that interesting of a person living in a not that interesting of a town.

Congrats Tash

I think your process to update the blogroll is great. You have my true and faithful admiration for all that you do…and the great ideas you come up with.

Thanks to Kristen who posted my blog and said asked for people to go say something. I made me feel pretty good!

Ah man…Eve totally was ahead of me with her Reality Show suggestion name with Law & Order, IVF. Perhaps you could fuel a ratings war over on CBS with I-CSI Miami.

Thank you so much for all your efforts! You really keep the IF community together.

And there is NOOOO WAAAAYYY I’d allow my mommy journey to be a reality show. I mean, I don’t even like that the nurse gets to see you hoo-hoo.

Another comment about how cool it is that you guys have the blogroll all super organised. My sincere thanks!

As for the hypothetical 24/7 reality show ... maybe if I was a skeletal Angelina Jolie type so I could show off my awesome tatts and my red-black-blue-yellow-purple clexane belly bruises complete with sharps container (how 'I vant to drink your bloood') and go for the "hot tattooed biker/masochist" motif... but sadly, I'm fat (part thanks to IVF/PCOS), which makes me the scary biker moma-wannabe, I like my privacy, I like the freedom of choosing when to wear my knickers, I like using over-the-top-disgusting foul words at 6 in the morning after the sting of shooting up the clexane, I like farting when I want to (its the damn progesterone) ... so, no deal!

Unless:

1. they call the show "Angry IVF veterans who will rip off your head and $hit down your throat" (duke nukem style);

2. they pay enough for all cycles for at least 2 live births; and

3. they blur my face and "blur" my voice to that scary movie type electronic voice thingy. you know, like, "hello sydney".

What If...?
I thought many times of trying to put together a documentary of going through ART. So I would do it but I would allow them to see the 18 guage needles and bruises the size of a cantalope on my abdomen due to the blood thinning shots I have to take. I would want them to see the "real" experience of IVF or other procedures. How us civilians have basically had medical school training learning about RE and administering drugs, etc. I would also do it to show a journey to adoption. All the facets of it.
Just to be a voyeur into my everyday life of emotions wouldn't be worth it to me- give 'em the meat! (could that be a show title?)

Also, everyone should know who coldplay is. Viva la Vida is one of their best songs yet. But everyone should listen to Billie Holliday and Ray Charles and Beyonce (she is my guilty pleasure).

p.s. thanks for all the work you do. Shame on anyone for complaining.
