Unbelievable

This week I received a letter in the mail from a fertility center that we once sought treatment from (where they told us we had a 3% chance of ever having a baby unless we did IVF and ICSI), urging us to oppose the Sanctity of Human Life Act.  Can you believe that?!  I was so appalled and shocked and miffed by it.  I want to write back explaining the value of human life and why an "embryo" is indeed a human being, which they as medical professionals should kno, and also to explain that they can actually help people better through Napro, and how we had a baby without their immoral help.  I just don't know where to begin.  And, the knee jerk responsiveness in me just wants to write back, "You suck."  I need to take some time to collect myself and write back.  Grrrrr!

  1. Wow! I think the You Suck response is still appropriate. :-). Wow. I'm just so shocked they sent that letter out!!!

  2. I think a section of that letter along with your response of how NAPRO helped you would be great to help spread the word that napro does really help people. You could feature it on your blog and ask others to post it. You could post it in your local news, church bulletin, maybe catholic readers digest etc. It is amazing how many times these Drs tell women that they have to do IVF, when Napro could help. I think your story would help others. Of course I am not suggesting that you give out your name and personal info, you could use a fake name etc. I think that IF awareness month is coming up in April.
    Then of course if you still write to write the clinic and tell them they suck that would be ok too. =)

  3. As much as I like and agree with the "You suck" letter, I think it will be even more awesome to explain things from your perspective. You probably don't have the time for it, but I could see that if I were in that position, I'd probably have to write out a draft of the "you suck" version before I could clear my head and emotions to address the real issues. :)

  4. Wow- that's crazy they sent out that type of letter! I would definitely mail it back to them with a personal response from you, but I would probably wait and pray about the response to send. And I agree with CM..write the "you suck" letter to get it out. Then wait a few days and write the letter that may have an impact!

    I owe you an email in response to the questions you posted on my blog and offer to connect me with your BFF, but I can't find your email address any more. I know I had it at one point...can you email me at perfectpowerinweaknessatgmail? Thanks!

  5. I like what PPIW said. I bet they wouldn't expect the letter to get mailed back
