I ran across this post the other day from another former IVFer/micropreemie mom. It offers some great insight into how I, and many other people, are changed forever by infertility. How it can, and did, consume my life for years.
It also suggests that everyone call or write your congressperson about H.R. 697, The Family Building Act of 2009. The act would require group heath plans that provide maternity coverage to also provide coverage for infertility treatment. Her post also discusses the risks of multiple births and how insurance coverage and education on the true risks of a multiple gestation could go a long way in decreasing the rate of pregnancies with multiples due to IVF, a concept that I couldn't agree with more.
So this Mother's Day, in honor of all of those mothers who traveled the long road to get to their children, and those still on that road, please consider reading the linked post and writing your congressperson. I know I will.
