Rupert Everett has come out of the closet…about being infertile that is.
It is refreshing to hear other stories of infertile men. But, Rupert claims to be firing blanks because of baldness medication that he is taking.
As for me, I’m all natural. Hair and infertility.

Hey Mike,
I appreciate your candor and honesty with this topic. I’ll never forget sharing the first test results with my husband over the phone. After a moment he said, “So you’re saying I have Homer Simpson sperm?” Then he laughed. There is strength in humor. Everyone still assumes it’s my issue that has kept us from conceiving. My doctor said that there is such little research on men that very little is known. Although he had followed a recent study where a man who had fathered six (when they ‘decided’ to) was tested every week for a year. He said half the time he tested normal, a quarter he tested high and a quarter he tested low. He shared it with me to prove how little is really known about it.
My husband being the jokester that he is loves throwing it in people’s faces when the timing is right. Like at a school Halloween carnival when our daughter was a year old. An old high school friend came up and asked him why we didn’t have more kids yet (you have to realize we lived in a very large family area where 5 kids was the norm). He just smiled and said “Oh didn’t you know? I’m impotent.” She turned about 40 shades of scarlet and started apologizing. She couldn’t make eye contact the rest of the night and he laughed his butt off. He still loves telling that story. ;o)
Hugs,

My favorite is when people tell me how much Pookie looks like me. Geetle looks exactly like mom. Pookie doesn’t. So people say he looks like me. It must be the short hair.
I have given up telling people unless they have a reason to care…unless they are saying something against IVF. But, then I’m not normally being funny when I reply.
What do you mean you are like Rupert ? I didn’t even know who RE was until I googled him. You are much more famous. Everyone here knows who you are. I’ll bet over 50% of the poeple in my world don’t know who he is and 90%of those wouldn’t know how to google him to find out. That makes you much more important. Love MOM
