There is absolutely stigma surrounding IVF. I got pushback from lifelong friends and family members because we didn't 'just adopt'. 

Hot take: the missing teeth make hockey players even hotter 

Whenever someone points out that my son looks exactly like my husband I respond ‘at least we know they transferred the right embryo’. Maybe I should stop saying that.

Yup. I hated pumping but loved nursing so when I was at work I had to pump. Otherwise you can’t do either. I was willing to sit alone in a creepy unused storage closet three times a day because it meant I would get to nurse my baby to sleep when I got home.

Yeah, I will forever find it suspicious that I all of a sudden needed a Csection at 430pm...

Only if conception occurs inside a woman's body. Embryos in an IVF lab can still be destroyed under this bill. Because it isn't actually about the precious embryos, it's about controlling women.

This is so important for the many women who have struggled with infertility and loss. It is such an isolating experience. To talk openly about the pain of feeling like your body is broken is so powerful. I’m so glad she was able to have her girls.

To be honest I really didn’t think it would work. But my insurance paid for one round so my husband and I decided to try it. A year ago we had made peace with the fact that we most likely would not have children. And now I’m typing this with my son sleeping in my arms. Life is weird.

I’m about to turn 33 and had a baby a month ago. I had all of the doubts that you listed and then some. But I also knew that I always envisioned myself having children. I ended up needing IVF to conceive and even then I had moments during my pregnancy of thinking maybe it was terrible decision. Point is, I’ve never…

It was a ‘fun’ topic of conversation in college

I can’t speak for all straight ladies but I personally find him legitimately very attractive. Yes, he has an Italian-American slick guy thing going on but that can be hot if it isn’t all bluster.

We really need to stop asking people when they lost their virginity. It’s such a loaded and complicated question for people whose first sexual experiences were not consensual.
