What Would You Do In The Case Of Infertility?
“In the event of infertility, are you OK with:
- Fertility treatments like IVF?
- Surrogacy?
- Sperm/Egg donation?
- Adoption?
Only after we went through that question, I realized I wasn’t ok with sperm or egg donation. I’m fine with adoption, but I’d always feel like I’m carrying another man’s child or raising another woman’s child with sperm or egg donation. I rather adopt than do it with someone else. Plus, there’s a lot of children who need parents.
Came in handy because after the wedding, I found out I have an autoimmune disease, Sjögren’s, and that increases the chances of a fetus I’m carrying getting a heart defect. It was a stressful time and if I didn’t know how my husband would react beforehand, it would’ve been more stressful.”
