		<description><![CDATA[ It&#8217;s easy to concentrate on the negatives of infertility, but when I talk to friends who have &#8220;surprise&#8221; pregnancies or to those who are indifferent about having a child I realize that there is one &#8220;positive.&#8221;  We go through so much to start our families that there is no doubt that if and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ In the world of infertility you often feel as though you should be &#8220;game&#8221; for anything &#8211; you know that you are going through all of this to have a child and you can sometimes be made to feel selfish or unenlightened if you have a desire to have a biological child.

At my clinic they bring you in on the day of retrieval and get you settled and drugged all the while [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ There is a dirty little secret that a lot of infertile people keep &#8211; sometimes we want someone else to blame.  Unless you know from the outset that one or the other of you has reproductive issues, there always comes that time when you begin testing to determine whose &#8220;fault&#8221; it is that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ It seems to me that a certain phenomena exists among those struggling with fertility that involves a &#8220;competition&#8221; of sorts among those having trouble conceiving.  Those who are &#8220;just&#8221; trying clomid or similar medications to induce ovulation don&#8217;t know true suffering.  If you are successful with IUI or injectibles you  haven&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

Either I have unrealistic expectations on how fast that doll was supposed to work, or my particular fertility doll was faulty.  Either way I don&#8217;t think I can give [...]]]></description>
