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.

Jack and Jill


Jack and Jill went up the hill,
To fetch the RE’s advice.
Jack’s sperm is down and not around
And Jill has vaginal lice.

I'm an RE's Patient (to the tune of I’m a Little Teapot)

I’m an RE’s patient, help me out.
Here’s my vagina, here’s my good vein.
When I get all doped up hear me shout,
“Take the fuckin’ needle out!”

Hey Diddle Diddle

Hey, diddle diddle,
A jab to my middle,
The LH jumped over the moon.
The little doc laughed to see such stats
And the bill ran away with a boom.

Shoo Nurse (to the tune of Shoo Fly)

Shoo nurse, don’t bother me.
Shoo nurse, don’t bother me.
Shoo nurse, don’t bother me.
For I still want my sanity.

The Blood Is Not Right (to the tune of The Skirt Is Not Right from I Am La Luna)

This was inspired by a song I taught to a group of second grade students last year from the reading series English to a Beat by Hampton Brown.  The original song is on the right.

 

The Blood Is Not Right!                                        The Skirt Is Not Right! from I Am La Luna

First the blood is too low                                           First the skirt is too big
Then the blood is too slow                                        Then the skirt is too small
The blood for this patient                                           The skirt for La Luna
Will not grow at all!                                                   Does not fit at all!

The level is low.                                                        The buttons are loose.
The level will rise.                                                     The buttons are tight.
This patient’s blood                                                   The beautiful skirt
Is JUST NOT RIGHT!                                             Is JUST NOT RIGHT!
