We … more Infertility is a disease, not an elective condition The World Health Organization defines it that way. And like any disease, it deserves medical treatment. We would never call antibiotics for a life-threatening infection “elective.” We would never call chemotherapy for cancer “elective.” So why do we accept that framing for infertility? I get it. If you haven’t lived this, you might not know. And that’s not a character flaw — it’s a knowledge gap. That’s exactly why we keep talking about it. To everyone in the fertility community: your story matters. Sharing it changes minds. It helps the person who just got diagnosed feel less alone. It helps the policymaker understand what’s at stake. It helps the friend or family member who said the wrong thing finally get it. This is National Infertility Awareness Week starts April 19th. Use your voice.
