I think this was amazing and I am sure this will help that infertility does not need to be discussed only behind closed doors, and other people will become awae of this, as so many people around the globe admire her!

On the other side, although I do not doubt that she went through the same emotional and physical pain as us, the big difference is that whilst we are dreaded by 1 year NHS waiting times, or do have money for usually not more than 2-3 cycles (at most!) celebrities have unlimited resources to go through as many cycles as needed. This drastically increases the chances to conceive and opens another source of unfairness for me.

But again, I think this is amazing and I really admire her!
