In reply to the discussion: Serena Williams on having a baby: "I'm about to be a real woman now" [View all]tymorial
(3,433 posts)We tried for years to have a baby, three IUI, three IVF resulting in one miscarriage and one pregnancy that had to be terminated because of severe defect. Colleagues of hers who work IN A HOSPITAL were talking one day about how pregnancy resulting from fertility treatments weren't as valid and a c section wasn't really giving birth. She didn't say anything because she just wouldn't but I knew it cut her inside. We eventually got pregnant after we had completely given up all hope.
I sympathize with every man and woman who has gone through those treatments without success. Z DIsappointment doesn't describe the emotion of knowing it won't happen. I feel guilty even writing about this because we eventually got lucky and it just happened once we stoppes trying. Still I remember that feeling of hopelessness .
I get why Serena 's comments will hurt though I am sure that wasn't her intention.
