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.

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
