I'm sure this is the least of my problems but...why is the "Female Intake Form" for the fertiity clinic twice as long as the "Male Intake Form?" No, wait, on second thought - don't answer that. I know it's because we have more breakable parts...I just don't want to admit it to myself.

Just another Orthodox Jewish woman entering the world of infertility blogs. The name of the game is PCOS, but I've been told the rules may change at any time.
Now - pregnant with twins.
I blog anonymously for a reason. You may think you know who I am, and you may very well be correct. However, I don't want to know about it. This blog is my "safe space" and I want to speak my mind here without accountability to friends and relatives. If that means that I end up insulting you on these pages, I'm sorry. Take comfort in the idea that you may be wrong about my identity after all. And, no, obviously "Ezra" is not my husband's real name.
Confident about my identity? Then let me make it clear: If you know me in person, if you would recognize me walking down the street, if you could name either of my children or either of my parents - if any of those apply to you - please stop reading.
Our journey is only one of many that Jewish couples may face in the course of infertility treatments. Our decisions may not be appropriate for your situation, and under no circumstances should you assume that our answers apply to your own questions. If halacha (Jewish law) is a concern for you on this journey, please consult a competent rabbi or yoetzet of your own choosing.
Oh, don't fall into that trap. It's also because even when male parts are broken, there's a lot more they can do with the woman than the man.
I'm not saying it's all a patriarchal conspiracy. I mean, you didn't hear it from me. ;)
Yeah, all but one of the doctors at the clinic we're planning to use are men. MEN! What do they know about my plumbing?
Speak up!
