What is IVF? I am not trying to get pregnant, AT ALL. I am only 22 and
have 5 more years of college until I get my pharmacy degree. I just
want the doctor to see if I am infertile. I already tried to contact
the senator here and his wife but no one ever responded to me. I have
made it my life goal, now, to make sure women get the care they need.
Once I am healthy, I will fight and do whatever I have to, until my
dying breath so that no one has to go through what I have or what any of
the other women on here have dealt with.
