I was just on google doing some research on women in their 20s doing IVF. I am 27, my DH is 32 and we have MF infertility. We've been trying for baby 2 for 2 years.
So I came across a comment from a woman who obviously has no problem getting pregnant and even makes a comment on how she didn't want to be pregnant with her son about how opting for IVF when you're in your 20s is going to extremes!
I wonder why a woman in her mid-twenties would feel the need for IVF to begin with. I guess if you want a child, and you've been told by a doctor that young that you have fertility issues, there's a "better start now" mentality in case it takes X amount of years to be successful. But in my mind, that just seems so young to be going to such extremes.
For the record, I'm 25 and have a one year old. He wasn't planned. (And was actually planned against in a number of ways, and yet. Here he is, running amuck about my feet with no pants on as I type this, and I'm loving every second of it.) I know there must be plenty of women who know at this age that they want a child, and will do whatever it takes to make that happen. I'm just definitely on the outside looking in on this specific issue, I guess, so it seems so strangely foreign to me.
Does she think we are going to "extreme measures" for the fun of it?
Had to vent because this made my blood boil xx
