“Beautiful job bringing in many lenses through which to see different experiences. Having done IVF four times I am grateful I had not thought about what was happening while I was out (ignorance is bliss), yet realize I was lucky as I had no idea to ask about the anesthesia practices, would not have known what to expect to sound the alarm. But as the women said, even if you DO instinctively know “something is wrong”, you’ve paid almost $20k, weeks of appointments + shots to get to this moment, possibly with the sense your fertility is declining each month you wait — to weigh all those risks while lying awake on a table in agonzing pain trying to make any sort of coherent monumental decision, is horrifying. I send such compassion for the women who walked through this hard, hard thing. What happened to you was not okay.”
