    As a seasoned IVF'er at this stage of my life do I find it insulting that fertile couples access IVF for twins...No I dont
    But years ago whilst trying to fall pregnant month after month, I found alot of things insulting ,the parents that already had children accessing IVF and taking them to appointments or the the heavily pregnant woman that sat in the waiting room for the Fertility specialist /Obst. But I never bothered to look and see if there was "a story" that often is heartbreaking and really when looking at a waiting room how do you tell who is infertile. I know it has been debated that a child is not a need more of a desire. I know now that if my desire never eventuated that the want to live would of been no longer.
    But after living IVF for the better part of 5 yrs and winning I am a lucky one. Some people will never see the other side of IVF when you can finally let it go.
