Case of a woman…
Ever since you discovered sex, your main aim was to enjoy it to the fullest without getting pregnant bila plan (among other things) so you religiously took the pill/used condoms/had a coil inserted etc. When your period delayed – just 2-3 days you would panic and start hitting the replay button to see whether there was any one time you might have forgotten to protect. You review your whole lifestyle; maybe it’s the stress, change of diet, illness, change of climate etc.
The time then comes when you want a baby, you drop the pill, throw them condoms away, say goodbye coil welcome to the raw world! You invest in sexy lingerie, invest in folic acid pills, multivitamin pills and drop all your nasty habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol, and you start eating healthy meals, cut down on salt and all the fat. You approach baby-making like it’s a whole new art, the in-thing (kama sutra is just a beginner's guide to you).
Months turn to a year or two or more - nothing happens. Alarmed, you eventually go to the gynaecologist and you hear the sad words “Nanii, you are incapable of having a child because of blah and blahblah…”
What do you feel at that moment - well, apart from the obvious devastation? Do you think of the money you wasted back then trying to keep conception at bay? Do you feel cheated by nature coz all along you ‘assumed’ you were capable of bearing offspring? Is it better to go for a fertility test now and save yourself the agony later? Or is it better to deal with the fact that you are infertile later?
Just thinking.
