Hi All, Analogies can be tricky. Norma while I really understand your intent I am a bit uncomfortable with this analogy. I went through IVF 8 times and if I heard your analogy while pregnant or anytime it would sting. No one chooses to go through IVF. IVF is really emotionally draining from beginning to end and I don't see formula feeding moms looking all that emotionally drained. Just my thoughts.
