It has occurred to me in the past that for the many of us who deal with infertility that 50 years ago without the aid of ART pregnancy and children would have been nearly impossible. After having such a difficult labor and rupture with Brennan I also realize that 50 years ago he and I may not have survived childbirth.
If I believed in evolution perhaps I could hypothesize that infertility is a way of eliminating some sort of bad gene.
As a Christian I can't really say what the reason is. I know that we are all here for a reason and that we all will have joy's and hardship's.
In the last week on the fertility website I frequent there have been two losses that have caught my attention. Both were twin pregnancy's as a result of IVF. One twin lost for each lady, both 3rd trimester losses. I don't know these women personally but have followed their stories. My heart just aches for these ladies.
Everything they went through years of infertility, IVF, difficult pregnancy's, and then a loss like that. It just doesn't make any sense.
I know that regular fertile people have loses also, but when I see these ladies that have done just about everything to get pregnant only to suffer like that, I don't know...there are just no words.
