Guess the total weight gain for the cycle - a string will be used to measure the girth of the guest of honour's waist, and a post cycle measurement will be later compared to this original measurement.
Never say IVF -each guest wears a clothes pin on her collar and if caught saying IVF at any point during the party will lose her pin.
Memory game -A tray of typical items used for IVF is placed out for the group to see. Later in the party guests must try to recall as many as they can. Suggested items include -syringes, vials, alcohol wipes, vitamins, meditation CD's, and lots of cash.
Pin the sperm on egg -and ICSI it while you're at it
Objects in a Jar -Guess the number of used needles the biomedical waste disposal container contains.
Feel free to come up with more of your own....
Love, love, love it! When's the party?!

so true...if you need some spare needles I have plently!Another game could be guess how many cc's are left in the gonal F pen, and guess how many bottles of wine you could buy with it! I was thinking of you previous dilemma (happens to ma all the time and always hand over my contribution grudgingly) and thought maybe you could decline making a contribution to the joint gift but send a card and a note saying you have made a donation to a children's hospital (aka fertility centre of choice) in her honor. Wonder how that would go over??

I think there should definitely be a biggest bruise contest.Oh, and for us oldies - guess the chromosomally normal embryo contest!! (or is that too close to the bone?)We should have a pool for how many days will it be until the clinic returns your call - and use one of those charts like for the sports pools, quarter per square!!And for those of us who have temporarily given up hope (yes, I just had a m/c) DRINKING GAMES!!Ok - I'll just head back to crankypants, where I belong!-kj

Rather than bows on the gifts, there would be medical packaging like empty syringe packages and alcohol swab packages. We can then make a hat for the IVF girl with all of he "bows"!As always, I LOVE your blog SD!! You make us all laugh at this situation we're all in :Emoticons09780: Thank you!

And we could hold this shower in a restaurant with jealous fertilites looking at us from the next table over....!

Well, we could always get out those pee sticks. First one to get two lines buys a round for the rest of us.And there's always hide and seek. "AF, where are you? Never when I need you, but oh, there you are, just when I was hoping I wouldn't find you!"

Oh I know how many Horsepill fertility supplements/vits can someone swallow at once!

Thanks Silver Dollar for making me laugh! I just posted on my regular board and instead of pressing the enter button my computer somehow lost the site I was on and went somewhere else so I lost the WHOLE POST!! ARGH...so reading this made me feel better!I am not as creative as some of these gals are, so I can't think of another game that hasn't already been used! I like the pin the sperm on the egg the best! That was cute!

Love SD and love the ladies ideas here. Seriously this would be a party I would make an effort to attend.How about Pin the PIO needle on the Butt. You can make one for beginners and use, say my butt size, so they have a big target area but for IVF vets they would have a much more challenging 'small' butt to target.

How about IVF ROULETTE: Ask everyone to bring a significant chunk of their earnings/savings, in cash, and then get people to bet. But they can only put the cash on one of red or white on the betting board. So, when the wheel spins and the ball lands on a number (either red or white), they have a 50/50 chance of winning/losing their savings. You know, kind of what we're all doing to fund IVF...OR...The WAITING GAME, especially for the Fertiles who don't know what it is to waitLBasically, you get the guests to all sit in a room and watch the clock for three hours. They can't move or get up. They just have to watch the clock.Or....Another one for the fertiles: Invite them to attend the party for lunch, and tell them not to eat anything until the party. Then, when they arrive, tell them that only the IVF girls get to eat. And serve the IVF girls GREAT food. The others can just watch...longingly.... wishing they too could hold some food, taste the joy, be a part of the party. (ok now my bitterness is just getting me carried away...)

How about a uterus shaped target board and "embryo" darts. How embryos can you get to stick?

A good start but it's not a real party until you have actual injections (of saline, of course).

Thanks Silverdollar... This made my day... My colleagues are wondering what I am laughing out loud at!
ErinM, 27 January 2011 - 06:35 AM
