The Crueliest Word.....

"Infertility". It's the crueliest word for every couple who wants to start a family of their own. Many couples after marriage are readily looking forward to starting a family.

Some successfully becoming parents right after marriage, some after few months of trying yet there are some who face with disappointment after trying for many months.

Not only do they face with disappointment, they have to face the fact that they are either subfertile or infertile. They are only hope is to seek treatment for the reproductive endocrinologist.

Some successfully have the children of their own after going treatment and the unfortunate ones once again have to face the disappointment. Not only disappointment, but also emotional and financial pressure due to the treatment. The treatment isn't cheap. And it does not guarantee 100% success. Some of them even need to try a few cycles before they reach the success ladder.

It's really depressing and full of sympathy for couples who have married for many years yet they do not have the family of their own. I truly respect, salute and admire for the couples who never bow to failure even though they have undergo numerous treatment just to have a baby.

For those people who have never gone through this, please be more sensitive towards the couple. We have no ideas how much pain the couples have to go through and how much tears they have shed during all these time.

Stop asking them all these questions "When are you having kids?", "You don't intend to have kids?", "You have already married for so many years, no plan to start a family?". It's really hurt. How do you know they don't want to have kids? How do you know they don't intend to start a family?. By the way, it's a private question. If they do not intend to answer, just keep your mouth shut.

Not of that, when the couple tell them about the treatment, some of these people even make stupid remarks like; "It sounds so techie.", "The name is just like some sci-fiction term from the movies." "It's like a place name" and laugh it off. It's bad enough these people are ignorant about the treatment, they still dare to make such stupid remarks. The couple trust them only let them know, yet these people hurt them with such remarks.

These couples are just like any normal couples who want to start a family. Instead of asking them when, why questions and making stupid remarks, why don't we pray for them and give them the support which they need most.
