Two engineers get married, delay baby-making and get hit with the unexplained infertility stick. Eight years: multiple failed cycles; 3 failed IUI's; 1 long adoption wait and successful adoption (Baby X); 2nd long adoption wait, 1 failed placement, 1 failed match and finally 1 successful placement (Baby Z). This is my story.

Pr.vate Pr.actice got it wrong....
For crying out loud. If you are a medical show that showcases a fertility clinic you damn well get the terminology right. Actual quotes from this weeks episode "Every time we went through an implantation...." and "You implanted us with the wrong embryos" I yelled at my computer.

Oh, that is such a pet peeve of mine as well. And it's more than us just being hyper critical. Words matter. Calling a transfer an implant infers that medical science can actually control implantation and fuels the misconception that "all you need to do to overcome IF is do IVF". OK, rant over. :-)
