Getting To The Point

The injectable fertility med I am taking most definitely looks like your average, everyday ball point pen.

You know, the kind you pick up at a conference as a vendor freebie and then throw it carelessly in the kitchen or office junk drawer along with the other hundreds of pens, highlighters, stress balls, key chains, etc. that you’ve collected over the years.

But wait…this is no ordinary average pen my friends.

This one is special.

Even the ad says so.

See...

Whatyousay?

There are even more reasons why the Follistim Pen stands out?

Why yes.

Hmmmm, perhaps it’s that this almost too familiar-looking writing apparatus (in disguise) costs over $400 dollars!

Well, that did include the one teeny, tiny vial of medicine, but c'mon now.

Er, um excuse me.

It doesn't come in an array of colors like Sharpie markers?

WTH?

For that much moo-la surely one should be able to select a personal favorite color and whether or not you want it to be a fine tip or medium tip, know what I mean?

Oh, and just what in the world is the little pocket clip for?

Seriously.

Dear,

Sweet,

Drug

Manufacturer...

Do you really think that I am just going pop this “pen” into my pocket and wear it around the workplace just in case someone asks me if they can borrow it?

To which I can then say, “Oh, this little thing? No, it’s not a pen. It’s just my fertility medicine that I am not so inconspicuously hiding because I want to outwardly announce to the entire freakin’ world that I am having trouble getting pregnant on my own!”

How ‘bout you try my Uni-ball Gel Impact Retractable instead?

And, hey, by the way, I’ve got one in black, red, and blue.

An enhanced dosage window?

Nope, my Uni-ball doesn’t have one, but with a little bit of practice you can click out the tune to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

You wanna’ talk about standing out?

Now just try that with a Follistim pen!

Ha!

But then again, my Uni-ball can't produce egg follicles, right?!
