Had to share!

Last night I had a dream Cory and I were on a reality TV show for couples struggling with infertility. I'm not sure what the premise of the show was. Perhaps they were going to give us free reign of all fertility treatments available and whoever got pregnant first won $1,000,000. Or perhaps we were going to have to compete against the other couples in feats of skill to win the opportunity to receive various infertility testing, treatment, and procedures like hormone level blood tests, SA's, Clomid, treatments for PCOS and/or Endometriosis, laparoscopy, IUI, IVF, etc. Here are a few of the entertaining jewels of the dream that I remember:

  • Paula Abdul was the host. Perhaps my dream reality TV show offered her the $10 million a year salary that American Idol wouldn't!
  • In typical reality TV show style all competing couples lived together in one large mansion.
  • Tensions were already starting to mount though the competition hadn't fully begun. There was one other couple that I knew in the competition. I currently work with the husband and went to school with the wife. The wife is a very nice, non-judgmental person in real life but in my dream she was already trash talking the other contestants which randomly also included that girl Daisy that first appeared on "Rock of Love" and then on "Charm School" (I could be wrong about Charm School, but I don't watch either show, just spend some time goofing off on TMZ.com during the day and seem to recall that perhaps she got in a fight with Sharon Osborne on the show?).
  • We each had our own "fertility cave" which was underground and accessed by standing on a scale that only descended if it matched your exact weight. Don't know what a James Bond Villan-esque cave had to do with fertility, or what would happen if you put on any weight, but it was in each couple's fertility cave that the couple received their fertility testing, treatments and procedures. Maybe I've just seen too many movies or read too many books about secret underground lairs containing cutting edge technology. Each couple was also responsible for keeping their fertility cave clean!
So there you have it! My extremely weird dream about a reality TV show for infertile couples. Perhaps I should contact the major networks with this idea... I know I'd watch it! The sad thing is we haven't even started trying to get pregnant yet and already my mind is tormenting me with silly dreams about the journey ahead! At least I got a good laugh out of this dream and hopefully you did, too. It was just such a funny random dream that I had to share :)
