About Me

I started my infertility journey in August 2011. The frequent blood tests combined with the frustration of unsuccessful treatment was getting me down. Then one day I decided to start parodying the nursery rhymes I taught my first grade students. These rhymes help me laugh at my infertility frustrations as well as give me something to take my mind off of all those blood test needles.

STOP! Cries the Vessel (to the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel)

The phlebotomist had trouble drawing blood from me on the morning of Dec. 19, 2011 because she thinks that my veins have been pricked too many times and now they don't want to cooperate anymore. So this next rhyme is inspired by that morning.

All around the phlebotomy lab
The needle chased the vessel.
The needle thought it was all in fun,
STOP! Cries the vessel

A hundred for an HCG
A hundred for the estrogen
That's' the way the money goes,
STOP! Cries the vessel
