also: there are more kids in the IVF clinic these days, as people come back for 2nd and 3rd goes. I wonder how necessary it really is, especially when the husband is sitting there too playing happy families? I mean, I have a kid so it doesn't gut me completely. but why not send dh off to the park with the cute little 2-year-old and spare the childless infertile women waiting to see their specialist the sight?

and: if you must bring your baby into clinic, turn off their saccharine cutesy nursery-song-amusement-stroller-toy. one can avert one's eyes, but not one's ears.
