. . . All I’m saying is that if they think the doily will get them pregnant, THEY’RE DOING IT WRONG.

Do they make the birth control doily too? It’s easy to use – you just keep it squeezed between your knees at all times.

I’d have thought you just show it to your potential mate and he’d run from you like the crazy person you are

They make it… I met a girl once who gave me the pleasure of viewing her doilies. Never ran from a girl like that before or after.

What happened to the girls who showed you their doilies after? Did they tie you up or something?

I always thought it would be like a pessary.

…wait, so making fun of the artist and the doily is okay, but making fun of the artist and the doily is also somehow making fun of the malady, so it’s not okay? What?

So criticizing someone who takes advantage of the infertile by selling them crap is the same as mocking the infertile? Oooookay….

“meditation focus and beads” sounds like doing nothing to me, definitely in relation to getting pregnant. I mean, what are you meditating on? Willing the dude’s semen to leap forth like Old Faithful? Kind of weird to be sitting there thinking of spunk.

It’s weird to sit around thinking about spunk? Huh. I guess I need a new hobby then.

“Meditation, focus and beads” sounds like the sort of person who shouldn’t be even trying to reproduce.

Agreed. And we do have a bunch of parentless kids in foster care, so I for one can see a really nice alternative to doilies if you can’t cook your own.

Yeah, I have secondary infertility and I’ve never been tempted to buy some voodoo doily to fix it.
May 23, 2011 at 4:25 pm
Yeah, we dealt with infertility for several years and you know what I bought? Tons of books and herbs (the books helped, the herbs did nada). Never once a doily. Or beads. I didn’t meditate because I was pretty sure the problem was with my hormones, not my focus.

Speaking of voodoo, my friend bought me a voodoo fertility bracelet. XD Hopefully this will work out better than the doily. At least this one is MAGICAL.

Yeah… I’m pretty sure a doily isn’t going to do anything about my ovarian cysts. But what do I know, I’m no Etsy Witch Doctor.
May 20, 2011 at 10:52 am
Well, enjoy, lady, but meditation, focus and beads er…don’t work.

Ok I just looked at the “doily” – you KNOW what’s MEAN-SPIRITED? Tricking infertile women into thinking your tatting is going to help them conceive a fucking baby. That’s a hell of a lot meaner than making fun of a mickey mouse uterus-doily tatted in a “woodburning stove” dwelling to lay over your uterus to absorb the crystal power and the “peaceful tatting moments” the piece absorbed by magic.

It might be mean spirited, but it does fall into the the ‘damn I wish I’d thought of that’ category. Same as post-rapture pet sitting.

As someone who suffered with unexplained infertility and even had a (failed) IVF surgery, I thnk this woman is nuts. A fertility doily is nothing except a way to make money off of people who are desperate to have a baby. SHAME ON YOU FERTILITY DOILY PERSON!
