(not to mention the myriad other issues the article raised as well)<br /><br />i'm like you, too, i don't really consider fertility treatments an option since they seem so inorganic (this is the same reason i won't try dating via the internet). <br /><br />it's kind of a tough spot. i suppose the way to get out if it is to be content with whatever choice you or i or anyone might make and weigh your priorities and your overall readiness. which does not sound easy at all.<br /><br />also, thanks for linking to my little corner of the itnernets!nana k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07722982831406186903noreply@blogger.com
