But, there are people who do not believe in IVF. Some people do not believe in it for religious reasons and others just think that it is not natural and if they can not get pregnant for what ever reason then that is how it is meant to be.
We all have our own beliefs and are all entitled to them. Although I believe God works through people, including the doctors who do IVF, I still respect other people's beliefs.
Does it hurt when we hear something like you heard? Yes, it does and in some ways it makes it sound like the children we have through IVF are not natural. But you and I know that is not true. They are just as natural and meant to be as any other child that comes into this world. Try not to let it bother you. Look at your little miracle and remember that God meant for her to be in your life, and so she is.
I did hear a rumor that she was seen at a fertility clinic in Los Angeles from a friend. Who knows, maybe she did IUIs.
Lioness, well said.
And Michelle5--thanks for getting us talking. It would be nice if people in the public eye would be open about IF, but I barely talk about it even with my close friends. I can see how they might want to protect that painful part of their lives. I don't think any of this is "natural"--it certainly doesn't feel like it when you are timing BD and taking pills and counting days!
p.s. Michelle, I'm sorry to hear about your husband.
