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.

Do You Know the HPT? ( to the tune of The Muffin Man )

Do you know the HPT,
HPT, HPT
Do you know the HPT
That's from the pharmacy?

Do you want to test right now?
Test right now, test right now,
Do you want to test right now?
You're only one day late!

Yes I want to test right now,
Test right now, test right now,
Yest I want to test right now,
It's making me insane!

Go ahead pee on a stick
on a stick, on a stick
Go ahead pee on a stick
The morning is the best.

What the hell is this result?
This result, this result,
What the hell is this result?
It's not like on the box!

This looks like a light plus sign,
light plus sign, light plus sign,
This looks like a light plus sign,
Am I really pregnant?!?!?!

Ask the doc to test your blood,
test your blood, test your blood,
Ask the dock to test your blood
To find your HCG

HCG is two-o-three,
two-o-three, two-o-three,
HCG is two-o-three,
Retest it in five days.

What the hell is with this wait?
With this wait, with this wait,
What the hell is with this wait?
I wanna know RIGHT NOW!!!!

Now I'm waiting for the call,
For the call, for the call,
Now I'm waiting for the call,
Just hurry up and ring!

HCG is twelve-eighteen,
twelve-eighteen, twelve-eighteen
HCG is twelve-eighteen
It all looks really good.

Now you need to call gynie,
call gynie, call gynie,
Now you need to call gynie,
You're released from our care.

What the hell am I to do?
I to do, I to do,
What the hell am I do to
Without weekly blood tests?

You will be a normal gal,
normal gal, normal gal,
You will be a normal gal,
Who is six weeks pregnant.

The Testing Dance ( to the tune of The Mulberry Bush )

Here we go 'round the testing dance,
the testing dance, the testing dance,
Here we go 'round the testing dance,
So early in the morning.

Come, Come, Beta Test ( to the tune of Rain, Rain Go Away )

Come, come, beta test,
Make my worries go to rest.

Come, come ultrasound,
Make my worries go to ground.
