Well I am guessing most insurance places want to save money and prefer
their workers don't have kids. I guess that is why some companies do
this. Well I hope that I can become pregnant on my own or mabye my
boyfriend later can find a job with real insurance and work from there.
It makes me sad that women with endo have to go through this and also it
is like lets make them suffer some more and not cover fertility
treatments. I hate this.
