Okay, I went to see SITC this week w/ a bunch of my girlfriends, all of which are aware of my adoption and IF journey. Apparently, the fictional character of Charlotte is now proof that I will get pregnant after I adopt. Now, I have done the research. (Sorry if that offends people, but my job has a big research component, so I'm programmed that way.) This happens any where from 2-11% of the time, which is a little better than my old RE gave me to conceive and carry to term (2-8%). I have told these women this. DH has told them that no one ever talks about the friend that adopted and did not get p.g. after adoption.

Does anyone else get tired of hearing this? Tired of the media/Hollywood perpetuating this stereotype?

Honestly, to me, it's kind of insulting to the adoption community and those that experience IF. I'm sick of the inference being that I'm so uptight that my ovaries don't work, especially by women that are WAY higher maintenance than I am.

Sorry for the rant.
