I think it'd be safe to say that most of us don't get a lot of laughs from our infertility experiences. That said, my husband and I coped through much of our infertility experiences by using humor. More than once, I found myself crying and laughing at the same time.
I recently discovered* a blog that is all about laughter and infertility -- 999 Reasons to Laugh at Infertility. I love their tag line, too: "Because crying every time you get your period doesn't seem to help."
Besides the blog, you can also become a "fan" at Facebook.com, and read their daily messages. Sometimes they'll make you laugh, sometimes they'll make you smile, or even cry.
If you're looking for something to brighten your day, check it out!

* Hat tip to Pamela Madsen, who mentioned this blog in one of her blog posts, which is where I read about it.
Love that you picked up the blog! Isn’t it great! And thanks for the hat tip – and I am not picky – but it’s Pamela Madsen not Madison!!!! : )
So sorry, fixed your name!
I love that website! I wish I had known about it when I was going through IVF several years ago. Bravo!
Husband and I really had a great laugh reading the blog. Had we seen it a year ago, we would have coped better with our infertility woes. But since we were granted our miracle a few months back, I will just have fun reading through the site.
An exchange on email led to this blog post, which shows that laughter is a great tonic. You can find others sprinkled throughout the Coming2Terms blog as well.
