[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw her on Today show this morning.  [b]I'm REALLY not sure why she felt the need to share this information (that she was undergoing IVF) with anyone within a Catholic school. [/b] It really was her business, and who cares HOW she gets pregnant?  Medical procedures are private, correct?  It's just dumb all around.  I have huge issues with the Catholic Church in general, but I'm having a problem feeling sympathetic in this particular case.

On the other hand, I have secondary IF like her and SHOULD feel some pity for her general dilemma, I just think she was dumb to tell anyone in a strict religious school about it.[/quote]

I guarantee she informed them because of the frequent absences and tardies from all the monitoring, retrieval and transfer appointments were being noticed.  [/quote]

that is NOT how she presented it on Today Show.  watch the clip - she made it sound like she felt "forced" to share because she kept getting asked when she was planning to have another.  Which is of course another very personal question and none of anyone's damn business.

I get that this involves time off, but why do you haver to share WHAT the doctor's visits are for?  I just feel like it violates privacy to be asked what your doctor's appointments are for - what if she had cancer and didn't want to tell anyone?  She can't be forced to share anything other than "I have a doctor's appointment"[/quote]
