This Will Get You Pregnant

Isn't it funny how if a doctor says it, we believe it's true? It's kind of a silly phenomenon, especially considering that our bodies often tend to do whatever the heck they want. Still, I really appreciate Dr. Yoda telling me what I needed to hear. Again.

Yesterday at my baseline appointment, he came in and said, "Sorry I am that you must see me again." (At least I translated it into that, in Yoda speak.) I thanked him for understanding. And then he said, nonchalantly, "But now we're going to do what's going to get you pregnant."

I mean, I know it's not a promise or anything, but if I was a doctor, I would never say that to an infertile lady. For the aforementioned reason that we are all basically crazy. And I did go home and psychoanalyze that to death. "Does he say that to everyone?" I doubt it, because some people really don't stand much chance, and I can't imagine he'd want to give false hope. "He told me my chances were '60+%'--does he really think it's actually better than that?" Probably, but he's hedging his bets. "Is he laying awake thinking about this the way I am?" Hell no.
