Infertility Is Messing With My Feminist Values

So I consider myself a feminist. I believe that a women is free to choose the life she wants and she isn't defined by having a husband or a family but how come I can't believe that for myself?

Ever since I found out I would have trouble having a family, I have struggled with it. The fact that I cannot get pregnant because my body doesn't release eggs on it's own because of my PCOS makes me feel broken. It's a base instinctual feeling of inadequacy. My body is made to make a baby and I can't. I want to be able to tell myself that it doesn't matter and I'm enough but I physically can't help but feel defective.
