Ummm....WTF??? --RANT--

I just saw a commercial for a new show on the CW called "Jane the Virgin" about a girl who has never had sex but got pregnant when she was accidentally inseminated by her OB/GYN.
Seriously??? This is a show?? How insensitive...I'm appalled. Especially since the show seems to be flippant about it...like "haha isn't that crazy??"
No...it's not and it's not funny either. So many women (1 in 8) are dealing with the pain of infertility. Many of us suffering through multiple costly, emotionally draining, invasive IUIs with no success. This is not something they should be making light of.
I hope they get a healthy amount of feedback on how tacky the premise for this show is and how offensive it may be to people going through IF treatments.
Ugh!

Re: Ummm....WTF??? --RANT--
PCOS | Anovulatory | Metformin + Letrozole
2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012: In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary
July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery
IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014 BFN
IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN
May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5
November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)
