What. The. F#$k.

Can you believe this? A 70 year old woman in India gave birth to IVF twins because her husband wanted an male heir. Apparently their daughters were worthless to them. He needed a male to inherit so he mortgaged his land, sold his livestock and took out loans to finance the IVF procedure. Uh, counter-productive much?

I hate to make judgments against different cultures, but seriously? The fact that women have so little value is equally as disturbing as the horribly unethical doctor who performed the IVF on this geriatric patient.

Any other day this would not have bothered me. I'd have made a weird face, had a wtf moment, and moved on... Today, though, it really stings. We thought this was going to be our month, but yeah, it wasn't. Then to see this 70 year old lady having twins. It's almost too much to swallow. Some days it feels like you have to be a 15 year old crack whore or a ninety year old hag out to break a world record for world's oldest mom to get that big freakin' positive on that evil piss stick.

Back to square one it seems...
