[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  I think people have a hard time wrapping their heads around an infertile lesbian couple because there's that lingering question - are you reeeeeally fertile? A normal healthy couple may need to have sex a lot, many times during their fertile period, for months on end to get pregnant. The procedures you are undergoing may result to only a fraction of what normal couples have to do. So maybe you wouldn't be infertile under normal circumstance? Maybe that's ignorant, just what I'm thinking. That said I'm so sorry that you're struggling. Op too. You guys are right that it's not suffering Olympics but a bruised apple can't be compared to a bruised orange even if they're both in fact damaged. Secondary infertility IS different.[/quote]

I am shocked to read this. Could this poster have said "normal" any more times?  Normal couples (as opposed to lesbian ones) and normal circumstances (as opposed to gay circumstances?).

I'm a single woman who is trying to have a child by myself AND has infertility. Does that blow your mind, PP? As far as "The procedures you are undergoing may result to only a fraction of what normal couples have to do." I've done 5 fresh iVF cycles and one FET with my own eggs plus one ivF with donor eggs. How many IVFs have you done, PP? Whose eggs are you using in the end? I agree that comparing suffering doesn't do anyone any good, but your assumption that lesbian (or presumably single woman) infertility isn't real infertility is bizarre and offensive.[/quote]
