| | | I think that nowadays there far more opportunities to treat an infertility than were once since the science has evolved so much lately and maybe this is one of the main reasons more people are thinking of doing this than used to years ago.
If this is good or bad only the people involved might appreciate ,they know better if the treatment really helped them .From what I've heard ,some are very pleased with it. |

| | | I had ICSI treatment and had twins. I find that people have mixed reactions towards it. I did try to adopt but there were no children in my area that I felt I could offer a good home to. They were either large groups of siblings or teenagers and I don't have the room for more than two children and feel that I am not yet experienced to deal with older children.
My husband has a very low sperm count and so our odds of conceiving naturally were very low. We were very lucky and our fertility treatment worked first time. |

| | | ^ That's great that it had been successful for you, and it only took once. I have a cousin who has a problem with her ovaries and can hardly conceive, she does not have any children yet but she has already been married for four years. They would love to have a child and so they are resulting to fertility treatments and she is also taking some fertility vitamins of some sort.
Until now she is still not pregnant, and I think she is already losing hope. |

| | | It must be very hard fr people who do not have much success. I have heard of cases where people are still trying after 10 unsuccessful attempts and increase their mortgages and taking out loans to pay for the treatment.We found it pretty pricey for our treatment at £6000, I cannot imagine what these poor people are going through who have to try so many times. I feel very lucky that I got my wish first time. |

| | | £6000?! I never thought it was that high, but I never really asked. Now I feel even worse for my cousin. They only get to work on it every time her husband comes home though, he works as a seaman so he is always away, and it only makes things even harder that he's only around like once a year. | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
