[QUOTE="Alice, post: 625359, member: 3873"] HD, My daughter went thru a really tragic time with IVF. She was told she'd never have more children after my grandson was born. The blasted doctor implanted 3 embryos and they ALL took. When she was 5 months pregnant, she caught some sort of wretched virus and after 1 month in the hospital, lost them. She and my son-in-law considered adoption...and I can't remember why they decided to not adopt. To this day she grieves those lost babies. She still has 4 embryos frozen at that clinic and is charged yearly to keep them. She can't stand the thought of discarding them, and there are ethical issues about donating them. The only upside to this tragedy...once she regained her health she went back to school, got her degree, got a job teaching 2nd grade, and danged if she didn't get pregnant with that child she was told she'd never be able to conceive. And two years later, yep, another miracle...and two years later, yep, another miracle. My grandson is 15...he has a 6 year old sister, a 4 year old brother, and a 2 year old sister. IVF has it's place, it surely does...but there are doctors that take advantage of couples that so badly want children. And the very idea of implanting 3 or more embryos is malpractice. I admire your decision. :heart: Alice [/QUOTE]
