[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, sorry to see you get e-jumped.  This topic can really bring out the crazy in some people.  If your SIL is like some of the posters in this thread, it's probably best you don't hear from her anytime soon.   [/quote]

+2.  If the situation was something like OP getting engaged and her single sister had avoided her for 3 months since hearing the news, I suspect the reactions on this thread would be very different.  [/quote]

You're comparing someone being single to someone going through infertility??? Are you crazy? Infertility is a medical condition that takes a huge emotional toll. Last time i checked, being single wasn't a medical problem. You bet the reactions would be different.[/quote]

Infertility is an elective medical problem, like a big nose. It might be interfering with your life plans but you can certainly life with it. You absolutely dont need to go to doctor for it, unless you really want to. It is actually quite similar to remaining single or having other importsnt life plans thwarted.[/quote]

People CHOOSE to remain single, they do not CHOOSE to become infertile any more than they CHOOSE to get cancer.   Some things are totally outside of your control, other things can only be controlled by you. [/quote]

Many people do not choose to be single, Thanks for revealing how clueless and self-absorbed you are.[/quote]

Um not exactly.

No one chooses infertility (not to be confused with elective sterilization which is a choice).  Many people do not WANT to be single but very few of those CAN NOT ever find a mate, they just haven't the right person YET.  Furthermore, lots of people are actually happy being single and not all couple want kids.  Infertility implies the desire to produce children but the INABILITY to do so.  Some things you can change, some things you can not.  [/quote]

Well infertile couples can also foster  special needs children, use donor eggs etc. Just like those involuntarily single can marry someone they don't like. In both situations one can, in most cases, find a substitute for the original dream.[/quote]
