So this morning on the Today Show, I watched the Savages announce that their surrogate is having twins. Okay great, good for them. They are the couple who had the embryo switched on them during IVF. I've been following their story and just was really bothered with her whole pitiful me attitude on the show this morning. She acted like God was mistreating her because she had only been blessed with 3 children. I'm sorry, but I was fuming. I couldn't stand her selfish attitude. Not that I don't have sympathy for secondary infertility because I do and it is equal to primary infertility but it was the way she was acting.
Sorry I'm not trying to be negative, but as a woman experiencing infertility this story somewhat peeves me. Don’t get me wrong, my heart aches for her as I know she endured more pain that I could never even imagine with having the wrong embryo transplanted and also as she was continuing to experience infertility. But Carolyn never seemed to be grateful for the 3 precious gifts she was given. As I watched her stories, she continued to act as if she was given such horrible circumstances in life yet she had 3 beautiful children. She continued to complain and feel sorry for herself about what she didn’t have instead of enjoying what she did have in life. Most couples aren’t able to afford continuous IVF treatments and surrogacy, and she was able to pay for these to get her desired outcome. I wish her the best of luck with her twins, which hopefully she is satisfied now that she will have enough children to consider her family complete. But I hope she one day realizes the wonderful gifts she has been granted that truly many couples are just longing to have.
