[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm, perhaps I'm heartless, but "breaks my heart" seems a bit strong.  I'm sorry some women are too scared/intimidated/something of IVF to do it, but my broken heart is reserved more for women who can't afford it or who try it and fail.  [/quote]

I think it's incredibly sad when women turn down IVF when it's really not that awful.  It's what...9-10 days of shots, one appointment where you're out under and another one that's similar to an annual visit.  Being so scared of the medication and procedures that you choose not to have kids is sad.  [/quote]

You people are ridiculously heartless and lack empathy.  Perhaps IVF wasn't so bad for you, but I know women for whom it was a horrible experience.  Why do you assume your experience is the only experience?  And worse, there are some women who went through multiple rounds of IVF, had negative physical consequences, and still never ended up pregnant.

Not to mention, some people have moral or religious objections to IVF.  Anyone on here who is against abortion but mocks women who have a moral objection to IVF is a hypocrite.

And then there are some for whom IVF wouldn't solve the problem anyhow (i.e., they don't have a problem getting pregnant).  Not everyone can afford donor eggs, by the way -- especially on top of costs associated with IVF and then all of the daycare costs once the baby arrives.

I find it incredibly sad when women talk about empathy and then in the same post show a complete lack of empathy by judging other women who make different choices in the face of heartbreaking circumstances.

And you know what?  This thread shouldn't be in infertility support because it seems to assume that everyone on the infertility forum eventually ends up with a baby.  That's not the reality.

You seem to have all kinds of issues.  [/quote]
