(It's a common problem for those trying for a baby that in some cases they have to take many attempts in order to have a fertile egg, especially in baby-making attempts for those later in life.) * Inverted: Characters make themselves more fertile with fictional method, instead of less fertile. * Subverted: Characters use a fictional form of birth control and pregnancy results anyway. * Double Subverted: Turns out it is a case of false pregnancy (all the symptoms, but no child). * Parodied: Clap Your Hands If You Believe * Deconstructed: It doesn't work that way...and may the audience's Willing Suspension of Disbelief depending on the context of the story. And there may be people stupid enough to believe it actually works in the audience. * Reconstructed: It's appropriate for the setting. * Zig Zagged: Sometimes the characters use realistic birth control, other times fantasy birth control, and other times no birth control. * Averted: * The characters use only real forms of birth control * Birth control is not dealt with in the story. * Enforced: The setting of the story is obviously a fantasy one, where everything is different than Real Life. * Lampshaded: ??? * Invoked: ??? * Defied: ??? * Discussed: ??? * Conversed: ???
