Comments by others:  

• Yes, I saw that on that Newsday article as well. It is Infuriating. Infertility IS ACTUALLY recognized by The World Health Organization as a disease. So, it is not a lifestyle choice!!!

• Whoever wrote that is an IDIOT!

• That's complete bullshit!! Lucia's right, that person is an idiot!

• It is most definitely NOT a lifestyle choice! A lifestyle choice is something chosen, infertility is not chosen! People are thoughtless idiots...

• I'm offended! IF is a medical issue not a lifestyle issue. #infertility

• Anybody that would say that obviously has never battled #infertility.

• Idiots.....evidently they are living under a cabbage leaf not to know that infertility IS a medical problem with a diagnosis!

• It shows their ignorance. Infertility just like any other condition is not a lifestyle issue.

• Total morons! Women yearning to create a life don't choose a lifestyle so that they get treated like guinea pigs in hope of having a child!

• This disease is then aggravated by all the genetically altered food (to make greater profit). We ingest pesticides in fruit and vegetable, cloned/radiated meat, mercury/toxic ridden fish from China and south America (because it wouldn't pass our FDA regs.
• The women that have this disease and fight with their every last hope are to be admired...
• It is heart wrenching! But if a miracle does happen, those little lives are treasured all the more...

My Comment so far:

• Agreed, It is not a lifestyle choice or an elective medical choice like plastic surgery. It is a diagnosis by a medical professional and is a disease that affects 7.3 million people. Until it hits you close to home I guess people come up with stupid comments. To live it is to understand it! Glad you all came out to comment & tell me how you feel!

• I agree this IS NOT my comment a comment I read- #IF is a disease that affects 1 in 8 couples I was one of them #infertility

• I agree, You need to travel the road of #infertility to understand and feel the pain! #longroad
