If you are childless would you try IVF?

Hi dory!Yes your right! I never stopped searching for the best specialist in my home country and abroad where we are residing during those years. Me and my husband have undergone numerous infertlity tests/procedures and IVF was the last thing in our mind. Until only end quarter of last year I have come across an article from a local newspaper featuring a hospital offering a high success rate of IVF treatment. But upon consultation we were only given a 30% possibility rate as based on there records, for three couples only one will come out to be successful. Holding on with it was like a gamble and so be it! Let me give you an idea of the procedure, I know your curious on how did I surpass with my most stressful stage of my life. In December I've underwent polypectomy and D & C a minor surgery to eradicate the polyps around the endometrium. End week of January the treatment started on the 2nd day of menstrual period giving me 1 to 2 shots of injections everyday for 2 weeks to ensure growth of good ovum/s. On the second week of February ovum pick-up was done and the next day fertilisation takes place and on third day was the embryo transfer. Only after two nerve-racking weeks of waiting we've got the result positive. Yes, technology is really amazing coupled with prayers and faith in God, nothing will be unattainable!

Thanks for the compliments msfrancisco! Yes, my ob had told me that it was the best thing to happen as the other baby has a genetic abnormality. It was God's will to finally give us our greatest joy that he wants the best for us. Good day!

Thank you Karen! At the beginning I wasn't that eager to bear a child , i mean if it will come soon it's fine if not still it's fine. However, it turned out to be a pressure on the second year of my married life, an agony on the third to fifth year that we should seek experts to give a solution to our problem. And finally....thank you to the technology and God's willpower!

hi cainam! It's nice to hear that through my sharing of experience i can give hope to others. This keeps me addicted to mylotting! Whew....it's already midnight and still i'm up! have a nice day!

Hi j92mike! Three months of trying to conceive is to early to freak out, just enjoy the days of being together with your husband. Putting too much pressure on yourselves will not be of help. Doctors will only consider a case as infertlity only after a year of trying to conceive. Nonetheless, having an infertility check for both of you at this early stage will be a good start. Have a nice day!

Thank you poloprincess! Yes, we have done everything. I am on the high risk stage and there was no other option left for us. I didn't mind the fact that the procedure was so stressful, risky and costly what matters to us is to have a child of our own. Believe me, life is so empty without a kid at home.

Of course it does, you cannot put a price onto having a child, if you want one that badly you could end up spending thousands and thousands, Lucky for you it worked first cycle, not only because its expensive but i know how much of a drain IVF can be on you, i know a couple of people who have had sucessful IVF. I bet you are so excited!!
