On the bright side though, I think this is great for the general population to have a bit of understanding of what we all go through. If we want people to be more understanding and not to say some of the awful things that are said to infertiles, people have to be exposed to this reality.
@PCOSat25 I thought the same thing at first, but once I was over the show getting so deep when it's supposed to be superficial I thought the same thing as @KidShrink. If people are not exposed to it they will never understand.

I haven't watched it yet, but reality shows where the "stars", who haven't even started trying yet or barely started are convinced they are infertile (for no reason) and go to fertility doctors for testing drive me crazy! Of course, all their test results come out "normal". Though, so did mine when I went to an RE after a year of trying. Doesn't mean I was fertile!
ETA: But, when people have actual fertility problems and discuss it in a public forum, I love it, especially if it leads to some sensitivity training and shows that young, otherwise healthy women can struggle with infertility. A lot of people assume it only happens to older people. I was very open about my struggle and many people commented, but "you're so young!" And then, of course, proceeded to tell me I have plenty of time.
