[blparent] Inaccessible Ovulation Tests and Pregnancy Tests

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I wonder if there have ever been studies done to see if a higher number of 
women among the blind population have trouble conceiving than there are 
among the general population.  It just seems to me that there are a lot of 
blind women who have difficulties.  I also wonder if prematurity has 
anything to do with infertility.  It would be interesting to me if someone 
looked into that scientifically, whether being born early affected the 
ability to conceive in adulthood.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may 
kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Hi Terri,

Thanks for your reply. I don't know what else to say to you except I'm
really sorry to hear your story and my heart goes out to you. I know how
hard it has been for me trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant, and I've only
been trying for a short time. I'm sure your experience is several billion
times worse than that. I wish I had something especially encouraging to say
to you. All I can think of is, hang in there. I hope things improve for you
somehow. And thanks again for sharing your experience.

Best,
Allison
