- My two sisters have PCOS (like me)
- My cousin had a hard time keeping a pregnancy and had an adoption
- My mom and my grandmother have/had PCOS
- There are two women in our church who have finally just adopted through the foster system
- It took one of my fellow praise team members two years and fun testing to finally break the Unexplained IF barrier
- One woman in our church decided to live child-free
- One 17 year old at church has endo so bad she will never be able to conceive or sustain a preganancy
- And I have 8 wonderful girls I talk to regularly on-line who have also been given varying degrees of IF labels.
So here is my thought... If this was a type of cancer, wouldn't more people be un in arms?
One in eight women or 12.6% of all women will get breast cancer in her lifetime. And 12.5% of couples suffer with infertility.
Just food for thought.

I didn't realize the numbers were so close. We just got new insurance and was blown away by what they pay for and what they don't. If I get into it I will get angry again grrrr.
I only know a couple of people in my immediate circle...but have met SOOOooo many online.
Hope you have a great holiday!
I know what you mean. I can me a drug addict or an alcoholic and they will cover that but heaven forbid I need some help getting pregnant. I don't understand.
I am all for cafeteria type coverage. Don't make males carry materinty because the whole groups does and if a person has no reason to need rehab (addiction type) don't make me cover that. Let me use that for IF treatments. I get made about it too.
In fact, my boss told me on Monday that I take it too personal. I could have slapped her.
Have a nice holiday yourself!
