When you've tried ALL THE THINGS to get pregnant, what's left to do but make a rap about it?

It's a bit of an unconventional snack, but then, many of the things Meirav Zur has tried are pretty "out there" as well. Reflexology? Peeled almonds? Toe magnets? Mantras? And what the hell is a fertility "magician"?

In this episode, Meirav refers to "Fertility OCD" – an obsession with making sure you do everything and do all the things exactly right, coupled with the consciousness that the clock is ticking – and how it can rule your life. And as Anne says, seeing others getting pregnant "easily" can be extremely isolating.

Of course, as you're juggling all these things, feeling the pressure of time and expectation, watching test after test come up negative and holding onto hope with the tiny tippy top of your fingers, someone will undoubtedly barge into your life and tell you to "RELAX."

Sigh.

Humor is a coping strategy for many, and you are "allowed" to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. And on those days when it really just isn't funny, you're allowed to feel that too and to ask others to respect those feelings.

If this is one of those OK-to-laugh days, be sure to check out Meirav Zur on her website: meiravzur.com. And as always, find out more about Ruby and Anne on their website, thewholepineapple.com.
