I read today that Gonal-f is made out of Chinese hamster ovary cells. I have some questions.
Why hamsters?
Why do they have to be Chinese?
How do my ovaries know what to do with Chinese hamster ovary cells?
Who thought of this?
Is it possible that there will be little bits of Chinese hamsters in my eggs? Because I’m not particularly fond of hamsters. Although they may be sold at PetSmart and kept indoors as pets for first graders, at the end of the day they are just small, furry rats.
Infertility is so weird.

Hysterical! All I can say is, hamsters are my new favorite animals (chinese hamsters that is) and I hope that this is The Year of the Hamster for all of us!
