The fertile answering machine goes something like this: “Mary, Jack, Cindy, Carey and June can’t come to the phone right now. We are too busy having fun as a family. Call us back!”
How incredibly sweet but totally boring. Infertile answering machine greetings are much more fun for both personal and professional messages!
- If you are calling to tell me that you’re pregnant or having a baby shower, this line will automatically disconnect. For all other calls, kindly leave a message after the beep.
- We can’t come to the phone right now because my embryos are currently being removed from my uterus and then transferred to a test tube. Leave a message!
- Susie, Jack and our little test tube can’t come to the phone right now. We’ll call you back after hatching!
- Sorry we missed your call but it’s ovulation time! We’ll call you back in 36 hours!
- I can’t pick up the phone right now because I am too depressed about a negative pregnancy test. I’ll call you back next month if my period is late.
- Sorry I missed your call but I’m in my two week wait and I really don’t care about talking to you.
- You’ve reached Martha on December 12. I am out of the office this morning due to a transvaginal appointment but will return your call as soon as possible.
- I’ve stepped away from my desk to look for cervical mucus but will respond to your message immediately following my return.
- I will be out of the office, Mon, Tues and Wed morning before 10am and maybe Thursday or maybe Friday from 9-11am but can’t confirm this until later in the week. Please leave a detailed message.
I love the message about stepping away to check for CM! I also could use that in a modified way…I stepped away to check to see if my period started or I stepped away to pee on an opk…too funny.
I absolutly love your blog! IF/TTC is hard work and so often not really a laughing matter- I am thankful for a place to come each day and get a good laugh! Thanks!
Hilarious, thanks for the laughs!
Thanks fabulous gals!
I held it together until "Sorry we missed your call but it's ovulation time", then I couldn't hold in my laughter any longer! SOO funny.
LOL — I love the "out of the office" messages. I can't tell you how many times I've had to say something like "well, I may not be able to meet on Friday afternoon, or Wednesday afternoon but I'm not sure — I'll know by Tuesday morning, I think. I'll let you know then." I feel like an absolute flake most of the time.
"You've reached Martha on December 12. I am out of the office this morning due to a transvaginal appointment but will return your call as soon as possible.
I've stepped away from my desk to look for cervical mucus but will respond to your message immediately following my return."
How I wish I could use these.
I absolutely loved the one about it's ovulation time!! I so want to use it!
Considering it's CD1 and I just hit my two year TTC mark, this was the PERFECT blog for today! I have no desire to be here at work interacting normally with people today!
These were fantastic – totally hilarious
Or how about
"Im currently too busy examining my toilet paper.Please leave a message after the beep"
"Sorry I missed your call but I'm in my two week wait and I really don't care about talking to you."
A ha ha ha. (Just starting my 2 wks wait now.)
Great post.
haha I love these. What an awesome post
