    This was a lovely talk. My partner and I have been going through IVF for 2 years and I'm just nearing 40 now. I relate to so much of what she talks about, but I was thrown off a bit by her daughter talking to her about trans people. I don't understand how that relates to infertility at all. Living the life you are comfortable with requires you to have a chance at life in the first place, which is what the infertility struggle is about.

    I feel a big elephant in the room to trying to educate about fertility and fertility problems to have them more accepted and not ashamed is religion. I grew up Catholic. I have many family members that have experienced miscarriage and recurrent miscarriage, but since Catholicism prohibits IVF have never taken that path. Well, for my husband and I it was the only path to fulfill my calling to be a mother. But I can never tell my family. This led to a massive shift within myself, and I cannot justify baptizing my son into a faith that believes he should not have been created via IVF. I still field questions about when his baptism will be. I try to have patience, and tell myself it is not my job to make someone agree or support me. But I still wish I could have their support.

    If changing and shifting mindset was all that it took, infertility treatments and clinics would not exist. For every story that says "we stopped stressing, and then we got pregnant", there's another that's "we were the most miserable we'd ever been, and then we got pregnant", or more importantly "we stopped stressing, and it didn't help at all", because no one mentions the stories where they changed something, and it had no result! By saying that was all it took in the end, you're basically telling the rest of us it's all in our heads, or our fault we can't get pregnant.

    Surrogacy is different than a kidney donation actually. Bc unless someone is volunteering, as is the only legal option in the UK and much of Europe, there is the unjust element of wealth inequality. The only way someone would go thru sthg as life threatening as pregnancy for a stranger is bc they r too poor to afford what they need in life otherwise. This is especially immoral as surrogates are required to be mothers beforehand. So this is essentially their way of making ends meet for their families in a hyper capitalist country. U gotta ask yourself if a rich mother would do that? I haven't seen a single example to date. It's so obviously about $$

    Please, you and anyone else reading, don't EVER again say "just adopt" to people experiencing infertility. You're bringing absolutely nothing to the table. Do you think they've never heard of adoption before? All of us know adoption exist, and everyone struggling with infertility must hear it suggested to us MANY times. Adoption doesn't work like "couple pops into adoption agency one day, has a background check, and comes back in for a healthy, well-adjusted newborn 6-12 months later". It's absolutely nothing like that. Read up on it, it's a long and potentially heartbreaking journey for those who choose to take it. And many of us simply don't want to adopt. We want our own. It's natural to want our own. All power to those who do end up becoming great adoptive parents, but a child should NOT be a replacement. "Oh, we tried for years to have our own, but we couldn't, so here you are, second choice". Of course no one says that, but it's the impression the child might get. You should only adopt if that's what you want REGARDLESS of your fertility. Not as an "instead of".
