“If you know someone who has or you have experienced infertility, comments like yours will wound them.”
Maybe. But it didn't wound me.
Presented with the choice of having no children or going the IVF-and-other-technology-route, we chose no children. Or so we thought.
Realizing we wouldn't need all the money to raise children, we were all set to buy his-and-hers Mercedes-Benz roadsters when something unexpected happened...
... I still don't have the roadster, but I have - not one, but two - wonderful and excellent sons. I figure college tuition for both of them would have paid for two roadsters for each of us, my wife and me.
Having been there, I'm very sympathetic toward couples experiencing infertility. But the truth is the truth. There was nothing wounding about Campion's remark.

Look up thread. There are many people hurt by it, and have attacked.
I was set to get a nice cabin, when we got pregnant. Wouldn’t trade my daughter for the world. But the pain many experience is very sharp.
We never considered IVF, because we didn’t want to kill the “extra” babies.
