I found this on another website and it gave me a little giggle - I hope you guys like it too 
So, what do you think people would say to you if you were paraplegic instead of infertile? 1. As soon as you buy a wheelchair, I bet you’ll be able to walk again! 2. You can’t use your legs? Boy, I wish I was paralyzed. I get so tired of walking, and if I were paralyzed I wouldn’t have to walk anywhere! 3. My cousin was paralyzed but she started shaving her legs in the other direction and she could walk again. You should try that. 4. I guess God just didn’t mean for you to be able to walk. 5. Oh, I know exactly how you feel, because I have an ingrown toenail. 6. Sorry, we don’t cover treatment for paraplegia, because it’s not a life-threatening illness. 7. So… when are *you* going to start walking? 8. Oh, I have just the opposite problem. I have to walk walk walk - everywhere I go! 9. But don’t you *want* to walk? 10. You’re just trying too hard. Relax and you’ll be able to walk. 11. You’re so lucky… think of the money you save on shoes. 12. I don’t know why you’re being so selfish. You should at least be happy that *I* can walk. 13. I hope you don’t try those anti-paralysis drugs. They sometimes make people run too fast and they get hurt. 14. Look at those people hiking… doesn’t that make you want to hike? 15. Just relax, you’ll be walking in no time. 16. Oh do my legs hurt, I was walking and walking and going up and down the stairs all day. 17. I broke my leg skiing, and was on crutches for weeks, and was worried I’d have a permanent limp, but I’m 100% healed. 18. I’d ask you to be in my wedding party but the wheelchair will look out of place at the altar. 19. You’re being selfish, not coming on the hike with us, and looking at all of my track & field trophies. 20. Don’t complain, you get all the good parking places. 21. If you just lose weight your legs will work again. 22. If you would just have more sex, you could walk! 23. You don’t know how to walk? What’s wrong with you? Here let a real man show you how to walk! 24. You are just trying too hard to walk. Give up, and then you’ll walk. 25. Here, touch my legs, then you’ll walk! 26. Just take a vacation, and the stress-break will be sure to get you walking! 27. When *we* were young we only had to worry about having to walk too much. 28. And I bet a paraplegic going to a bookstore doesn’t find books about paralysis stacked next to all the books on running… ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

Of all of them - I think the last one relates closely to infertility! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

My favourites are these, as they're the ones I hear most often and sound so silly when put into this context. I hope they don't offend anyone!!

Yes number 11 really annoys me! I've had someone say that to me just last week (not the first time and probably not the last!)
Number 13 made me laugh. Thanks for that!
