    Thank you, Alisha. deeply appreciate you speaking on this. Having a village of family around me was key. I am blessed with twins now and they are 31 years old.

    THANK YOU for shedding light on the pain behind infertility, for raising awareness for couples struggling, helping to destigmatize the condition and for educating people on how to provide support. Our society needs this!

    I am so proud of you for using your voice to shed light on something that touches so many lives but is rarely discussed so openly.
    It’s takes a special kind of bravery to turn personal experience into a platform for change and you did that

    Such a powerful and important TEDx talk on infertility, miscarriage, and embryo adoption. Your honesty and bravery in sharing your story will undoubtedly offer hope and support to so many others walking a similar path. Thank you for shining a light on these deeply personal experiences and for advocating for understanding and empathy. Your words truly resonate and inspire.

    Wow, exceptionally delivered with real food for thought! Infertility and miscarriages are not really spoken about. I know three friends going through it but treatment is definitely a privilege that many can’t afford. I am sure many women and men going through this would appreciate her vulnerability but she is also dripping in privilege with her Valentino shoes, Alexandra McQueen dress, and rocks on her hands, she can afford the hefty price tag $$$ associated with infertility treatments. Nevertheless good for her.

    Alisha🪷 I listened to the talk, it was great👌🏽 You delivered it so well, nice inflections and movement👍🏽 The story and emotion you conveyed, will resonate with women the world over, something we all need to hear. I definitely felt better hearing it and absorbing what I identify with. It felt as though you were speaking to me at times and that struck a chord, a chord I didn't think I'd pick at again.
    Thank you Alisha, this was a very educational and emotional talk❤

    I enjoyed seeing how passionate you were towards your human condition And expressing your nature and your ability to nurture
    But what about those families stripped from progressing their ability to nurture their own loved ones
    You see the importance of birth families and the importance of nature
    Nurturing nature is a natural mother and should be encouraged with that comes with compassion and unconditional love
    Not to those those who are skeptical and judgmental and narcissistic SS

    Having lived in the 70's and 80's there was hardly any women that had these kind of issues. Getting pregnant was actually what women had a hard time avoiding. Now it's the other way around, 1 in 4 women have trouble getting pregnant in the US and 2 out of 3 males are infertile, so something happened around the 90's to cause and explosion of this and the only thing I can think of is that the amount of chemicals in the environment went up significantly, due to farming practices and the chemicals in our consumer goods.

    People who never manage to get pregnant at all, even once, also experience the loss of everything you mention at 8.40 onwards. You really missed an opportunity here to acknowledge the great many people who don’t get their miracle pregnancy at all and face permanent unwanted childlessness. Most IVF fails. This “never give up” attitude traps potential parents in a long cycle of trying and failing and all the financial and emotional pain that involves, if they even have the privilege to be able to do that.

    Motherhood is not just a privilege and should not be just for the privileged
    Personal development, personal growth as a living being
    Families of different abilities should not be subjected to scrutiny persecution judgment
    because every family has a unique way of bringing up their family and should be guided and supported to be all that they can be to support mother‘s nature plan to support each and every living being of All levels of intelligence and abilities
    Never subjecting anyone to isolation division, but using human compassion as the main focus in all forms of life and towards how each other lives their lives
    I would like to ask you how do you feel about families that are stripped from there children By the ignorance and self indulgent social services

      She looks like she comes from a privileged background but I did my research on her online and I read that she is from South Africa on her webpage and things are bad in that country. Treatment for infertility is very expensive and not everyone can afford it. She has a family now, her instagram page has a little boy in it.

      My advice is to search in the holy books, the Quran, or search on social media sites such as: Why was a human born? Why did a human die? Why do we exist? You will find all the answers with every Muslim.

      But if a person is kind-hearted, he may face some difficulties, which is a test from God when he succeeds in a test or is patient with some problems that he may face in this world. If this person is patient or endures, his life will change for the better, and when he dies, he will be…

      @@souravghosh3913 I feel it's extremely important to empathize with others when they give us a glimpse into their personal journey with traumatic events, and personally I don't think they should be subject to criticism for showing emotion while working through those experiences.
      This is very clearly a topic that is extremely painful for the speaker, and I think the level of bravery it takes to go in front of so many strangers and share that vulnerability is nothing short of commendable.
