An infertility frustration

Articles like this one: Kristen Wiig Calls IVF the 'Most Difficult Time in My Life' really frustrate me. 

Like ... really. 

Here's why. 

You have a 46-year-old woman expressing all this frustration regarding getting pregnant. 

In the end: she succeeds. In this case, she succeeded with a surrogate. 

The question is: did she even use her own eggs? Was this an egg donor?

Society and the media continue to tell women that they can "achieve" pregnancy whenever they are ready. That they can wait until the "time is right."

But it just isn't true.

In fact: it's a BIG FAT LIE.

Here's just one example of this from the following source: 

Women are the most fertile WAY before they are 40. If celebrities continue to have babies in their late 40's and even their 50's and don't get real about how much it COSTS and how unlikely they are to succeed. It is teaching our daughters that they can wait until they are WAY too old to have babies. 

Our infertility rates are sky-rocketing and when celebrities scream SUCCESS and don't say BUT THESE WEREN'T MY EGGS they are lying to our young girls.

You can't have it all. You can try. But something has to give. No matter what our world does, we aren't able to make a woman's eggs last longer than they do. 

Period.
