On Saturday on Article was published online about The plight of infertile couples and that for 11 years they have tried here (in Lithuania) To create IVF leigisalation ie so their can be donor eggs,sperm etc in this country which is currently illegal.
They also ask for IVF to be made compensatable or at least partly so under the healthcare system.
Now this isn't what caused the big problem for me,
I wish that this could happen and things could change here, We saved for this IVF and it will send us broke but what about those who can't at all?
My Husbands cousin in no way could afford treatment.
She has always wanted kids and she'll be 31 this year and still getting no where as they can't afford treatment.
It was the comments that got me down not the article. So many who said that us (infertiles) asking for this to be compensatable is the same as the asking for new cars, holidays to hawaii and other materialistic goods from the tax payer.
Its sickening.
When it was brought up that treatment for alcholics,drugs addicts and such is free and paid for by the tax payer.
They responded with don't judge the alco's
They said its our own fault that infertile people are the way they are because they chose this by having abortions and taking contraceptives (so untrue for the majority) Like fertile people don't use contraception yeah right.
They said that it natures natural selection and God's choice but how is it true?
I want to believe God can bless us with a child.
But if its natures natural selection then why are alcholics parents?,incest victims carry the children of their own parent? People with Hiv have children,
So do people that have cancer.
Why are they a better selection than us?
They make me so Mad, but at the same time they put doubt in my mind,
If so many people believe this what if its true? Should we just give up?
I don't know whats right or wrong anymore.
Maybe we're in denial, thats why we won't give up, maybe one day we'll know the answer or maybe not?
but for now we keep on trying.

Ashling,
ReplyDeletedon't let their comments get you down. most people are completely ignorant about the plight of infertiles and very judgmental about it, that was the view on alcoholics 50 years ago too. it will take time and education to change society's views, but it will happen. particularly since infertility is on the rise.
good luck on this next IVF cycle!
Thanks for the comment and the well wishes.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see it till now as I don't check comments very often. I hope things will change but like you said change is slow to happen.
