About Me
- White Sapphire
- 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.

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.

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

Are You Sleeping?
This one is dedicated to my right ovary because it never produces any follicles. It was also written on Dec. 21, 2011.
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping,
Ovary? Ovary?
Where is my damn follicle?
Where is my damn follicle?
Release it please, release it please.
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping,
Ovary? Ovary?
Where is my damn follicle?
