Infertility is an “Equal Opportunity” Medical Condition

It doesn’t care if your net worth is in the millions or your bank account is overdrawn.  It doesn’t give a hoot if you’re a Hollywood movie star or an inner city teacher. It is infertility and it affects millions of women and men around the world regardless of their statuses.

Though this fact might seem obvious, many people dealing with infertility begin to feel like they are the “only ones”.  Or they erroneously assume that they have done something wrong to “deserve” the agony of not being able to naturally conceive a child.  But this is a medical condition that doesn’t discriminate.

Case in point is the international singing sensation Celine Dion.  She’s beloved around the world, especially in her native Canada.  She’s also chosen to undergo in-vitro fertilization (IVF) five times in an attempt to have a child.  Like other women, she’s experienced the discomfort – both emotional and physical – of infertility and infertility treatments.  The fact that she’s wealthy doesn’t ease her concerns.

Then there’s Sarah Jessica Parker.  She and husband Matthew Broderick turned to surrogacy after dealing with infertility.  Though Parker has said she wanted to give birth, her body wouldn’t cooperate with her goals.  In the end, she and Broderick made a difficult decision that has – happily – resulted in twins.

And there are all the others, too – males and females whose names you and I don’t know but who walk around with the knowledge that they can’t get pregnant without help.  We may never realize who they are because they aren’t likely to be interviewed by People or Us, but they are no less affected by infertility than Celine Dion or Sarah Jessica Parker.
