The Magic 8 Ball has spoken

I have a friend who has a Magic 8 Ball in her apartment. Every time I go there, at some point during the visit, I can't help but ask some pregnancy-related question and turn it over to see what it says. Generally I get the vague answers - "Reply hazy, try again," "Cannot predict now," "Ask again later" - or the negative ones - "Outlook not so good," "Very doubtful," "My sources say no." But today I asked it, "Will I get pregnant on my next cycle?" I turned it over and it said:

Yes.

Wow, that was unequivocal. And it is perhaps a measure of my desperation that I was actually heartened by this.
