3/20/2017 0 Comments Ted talks on infertilityIt's really hard to find infertility resources. And that's because infertility is a big secret club no one wants to be a part of. Today I happened upon a bunch of TEDx talks about just that. Sometimes it's good to just sit with infertility. And sometimes the best thing is hearing other people talk about it eloquently. All of these talks explain IVF in plain english, which might help if you don't know much about it.
A journey through infertility (over terror's edge) - Camille Preston (2014) A 39-year-old A-type woman is catapulted into IVF. This one's good at putting the disappointment of failed infertility treatment into words. "IVF is not for the faint of heart." (Audio isn't very good on this one.) Rainy with a chance of baby - Kara DeFrias (2013) Kara's issues were PCOS and uterine cancer. She had a full hysterectomy. IVF, fertility treatments & men: A puzzling proposition - Alon Neuman (2015) Alon talks about going through IVF from the male perspective. His speech is... not funny (but he thinks it's really funny). But I appreciate his candour about finding out his sperm wasn't viable. He's also good at describing the two week wait. Infertile dad - John Fulwider (2013) (pictured above) The panic attacks, crying fits and dull aches this man felt while dealing with his infertility. I think it's so important to listen to men's experiences because so much about infertility talk is aimed at women. This couple also seriously considered adoption. John also talks about how people are insensitive to infertile people. Universal access to infertility care - Willem Ombelet (2013) A headier talk about how only 10% of the world's population has access to fertility treatment.
