I found the following in http://missedconceptions.typepad.com/ which is actually a really touching fertility blog.
QUIZ
How well do you really know your IVF cycle? Take our fun quiz and find out!
1. Your attitude toward this IVF cycle is:
A) Hopeful. Maybe this one will work!
B ) Accepting. What will be, will be.
C) Too jaded to even bother giving up caffeine
2. When it comes to sterilization techniques, you:
A) Carefully cleanse all bottles, needles, and your abdominal area with a fresh alcohol wipe each time.
B ) Sweep a cotton ball over everything, when you remember. Your house is pretty clean, after all.
C) You're supposed to whaa? Oh, crap.
3. When it's time for your husband to make his, ahem, contribution, does he say:
A) "Porn, shmorn, honey. All I have to do is think of you."
B ) "I wish I could be the one to get injections in my stomach for 10 days, and you could watch the porn, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way."
C) "Should I call ahead to make sure they have the same video as last time?"
4. During your IVF cycle, which of the following is bound to happen?
A) You will gain five pounds: if not from the medication, then from thinking that since the medication is going to make you fat anyway, you might as well help it along with a pint of Ben & Jerry's every night.
B ) Your 25-year old colleague will announce, "I'm pregnant! We weren't even trying, but oh well! Do you want to see my ultrasound pictures?"
C) You will produce so few embryos that your RE will shake his head and say, "I just don't know what is wrong with you. Do you want to spend another $15,000 trying to find out?"
D) All of the above.
YOUR SCORE:
Mostly A's: Congratulations! You've got a positive attitude that is sure to help your cycle. Or not. Nobody really knows, actually. But, um, good for you.
Mostly B's: Wake up. Do you even know what's happening here?
Mostly C's and D's: You've done this before, haven't you?
