Actually I only need 3 letters. IVF.

The live birth rate for each IVF cycle started is approximately:
41-43% for women under age 35.
33-36% for women ages 35 to 37.
23-27% for women ages 38 to 40.
13-18% for women ages over 40.
There is a good chance IVF might not have worked.
Boom. Refuted. You were wrong and couldn't dismantle anything. -

No because she can already see her life at non-linear points of time. She could see them together creating Hannah.
You might not have enjoyed the film but nothing you have said dismantled it. Sorry. -

If the movie is going by the short story of how time perception is then she cannot change her future so it doesn't matter.
From the short story:
"The heptapods are neither free nor bound as we understand those concepts; they don't act according to their will, nor are they helpless automatons. What distinguishes the heptapods' mode of awareness is not just that their actions coincide with history's events; it is also that their motives coincide with history's purposes. They act to create the future, to enact chronology.
Freedom isn't an illusion; it's perfectly real in the context of sequential consciousness. Within the context of simultaneous consciousness, freedom is not meaningful, but neither is coercion; it's simply a different context, no more or less valid than the other. It's like that famous optical illusion, the drawing of either an elegant young woman, face turned away from the viewer, or a wart-nosed crone, chin tucked down on her chest. There's no correct interpretation; both are equally valid. But you can't see both at the same time.
Similarly, knowledge of the future was incompatible with free will. What made it possible for me to exercise freedom of choice also made it impossible for me to know the future. Conversely, now that I know the future, I would never act contrary to that future, including telling others what I know: those who know the future don't talk about it. Those who've read the Book of Ages never admit to it."
