Why do people have such strong opinions on IVF
My husband and I did IVF earlier this year because my company helped cover it and history of familial infertility. As result of PGT and then Karyotype testing we found out he has a chromosomal inversion and it would basically be really hard to get pregnant and most likely result in miscarriage.
Before we found out about the inversion when we told people we were doing IVF people would freak out and thought it was ridiculous we were doing it and be like you’re so young or it’s so bad for you blah blah.
And now when they ask how it went and I tell them they are like oh you’ll be fine don’t worry about it or “you were just looking for something to be wrong”. And this has been from a mix of people who have kids, not yet had kids, and even family members.
I understand that people just don’t know what to say sometimes about ivf but I have never understood why people react this way about IVF in general. I have friends who have had to go through IVF or egg freezing and they have had similar experience. It feels like almost taboo to talk about regardless of your “why” which I hate. How do you deal with this? It just makes me sad.
Also just want to say I’m very thankful for this supportive community of people.
