I agree that the IVF article was not a fair representation of the facts involved with infertility. But I saw the apologetic tone as ironic, and perhaps that's a product of my experience, but to me, it made the 'fertile' look more foolish and insensitive. But that's just me.

I think if we were to write letters, individual heartfelt ones that clearly explained each of our circumstances would e best, so as to properly represent a cross section of the kinds of women, and the kinds of ferility problems we endure. Yes I agree with fionas that both articles were superficial. If we tell our stories, we have to ensure that they are not superficial.
