The Pronatalist Trap: Interview with a Fence-Sitter Considering IVF

Aysha* (*not her real name), is a pediatric endocrinologist who is currently facing a very important decision: go through a very expensive fertility treatment of IVF to conceive a baby even though the idea of becoming a mother doesn't really excite her, or embracing the childfree lifestyle. The Childfree Girls invited her because we were curious about her journey, and Aysha was very open and vulnerable about her thoughts and feelings. This was a truly enriching conversation about a topic that is seldom discussed.
