I relate
I related to these women, not because I have ever had IVF, but because I am a woman whose pain has been ignored. My doctor disregarded my severe, cyclical pain, which I believed was a kidney stone, because I didn’t have blood in my urine. He (of course it was a he) heard me say that it was as bad as childbirth and suggested Advil. To be clear, both of my experiences with childbirth were induced, so generally, from what I understand, more painful than uninduced labor. Thankfully, I had effective epidurals both times, but it was awful until they kicked in. I still don’t know if I had a kidney stone because I figured even if I sought other help I would be dismissed again. My nurse friend later told me that my doctor likely thought that if it was bad enough I would have gone to the ER.
