The term "social infertility" shits me to tears, it is SO damned offensive to those of us who are truly medically infertile. <BR/><BR/>I am sick of hearing lesbians/single women bitching that they should have access to IVF because of "social infertility". (In my state it's only accessible if you are medically infertile, as it should be I think!).<BR/><BR/>As half of a lesbian couple I did what I consider the reasonable and responsible thing to do - found a trusted known sperm donor and DIY inseminations. <BR/><BR/>Not pg after 2 years, had 2 surgeries, tried again for another 5 months, moved to IVF.<BR/><BR/>Being single or a lesbian does NOT make you infertile.<BR/><BR/>The c-section woes annoy me too. I have sympathy for one of my friends because her daughter (5yrs ttc) nearly died and it was really traumatic, but the ingratitude of your run of the mill c-sectioners grates me.<BR/><BR/>You're not an asshole by the way, you're simply responding appropriately to your friends' asshole-ism. Or maybe I'm just a bigger asshole that you ;)Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342071625881436631noreply@blogger.com
