In a few short sleeps, we're off to Europe. For a couple weeks! There'll be all sorts of beaches, there'll be a lot of wine, there'll be fabulous FABULOUS food, but mostly there'll be a whole lotta relaxing. And if we end up pregnant on this trip, there ain't no way in hell I'm ever telling anyone fertile that that's when it happened.
I will plot days on charts to prove them wrong. I will graph calendars and spreadsheets to show them the science behind baby-making (they're naive to all of this, tricking them shouldn't be hard). And I will act very very surprised about "early" or "late" arrivals as much as I need to to ensure those bitches never get to think that "relaxing" was what made it happen for us. Or that taking a vacation was what made it happen for us. Because seriously, at this point, after this much unprotected doing it on the "right" days, the days before, the days after, and even the days LONG after 'just in case", us sneaking one past the goalie finally wouldn't be because we relaxed, and it wouldn't be because we took a vacation - it'd be because math says that if you throw enough times at anything, your odds of hitting it will eventually go up.
PS. I think I'm more focused on the lie that'd be fun to tell than the vacation. The crazy lady's in the building...

I love your commitment to the "cause"! Surely your educational approach for anyone who dares to suggest that it's the vacation that "cured" you will give them a thing or two to think about!
I hope your vacation is spectacular. It sounds amazing!
You don't know me, but I too hate the implication that relaxing and vacations lead to pregnancy. Part of why I hate it is that with "undetermined infertility" it just *might* happen that way for some, but never for me. So, if it should work for you I will even help you come up with a story so that you don't have to needlessly promote the myth.
