Infertility Treatments and Multiple Sclerosis
There is an article on WebMD, which discuss two studies that show that infertility treatments increase relapse rates for MS patients. This makes me incredibly sad. Infertility is hard enough and so is MS, but to have both and to know that infertility treatments may make your MS worse is just too much. I wish the best for women who are suffering from infertility and MS.

Higher Rates of Psychiatric Disorders Among Childless Women who Faced Infertility
I found this article to be interesting for two reasons. First, it gives you a glimpse into the Danish healthcare system. And, of course, the study that showed that women who went through fertility treatments, but ended up childless were more likely to be hospitalized for psychiatric disorders.
I cannot imagine how my mental state would be if I found myself fifty years old and childless. I'd like to say that I wouldn't fall apart, but maybe I would. I have wanted to be a mother since I was a little girl. If I wasn't able to have biological children then I know I would have adopted.
However, it's not always that easy. When I was in college, I worked with a women who tried to take out a loan from a bank, so that she could adopt a child. She was turned down time and time again. I met her when she tried for the fourth time to adopt a little boy. She was turned down. She got a cat, dyed her hair black and didn't seem to smile for the rest of the summer.
