I voted: I need assisted conception and DO find it insulting

I kept changing my mind a little bit reading each different post and yes while I agree with some things said, this is what I personally think:

People who are not infertile and who have not had to undergo IVF do not know what we go through in order to conceive - and could never understand. It is hard emotionally, psychically and financially.

I would think being fertile and doing IVF simply to have twins - would seem like an easy process - what do you care if it doesn't work - you can always go and fall pregnant naturally next month.

For us, infertile people, this isn't the case. Another failed cycle means thousands of dollars down the drain - and no baby to show for it. You don't know if you are going to be one of the lucky 60 odd % that IVF works for - you don't know if it is going to take, 1, 2, 5 or 10 cycles. There is so much unknown.

So I find it insulting because, people look at IVF as an easy way out of achieving a twin pregnancy - I had 2 embryos implanted - and no not a twin pregnancy. There is a higher chance, but it isn't a given - nothing to do with IVF is a given.
