Have any of you heard of the 'plastic egg Ivf? https://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada...lity-clinic-invocell-1.3579461#commentwrapper
It looks like our clinic has a little competition moving in. Maybe they'll clean up their act a little and normalize their prices.
Pinkie, when you said this cycle hasn't been too kind I'm sitting here in bed, headache, back ache, face broke out terribly, had a little cry today feeling sorry for myself
bloody awful! Lets hope your immune system is down and ready for bean. The first time I got pregnant naturally I got really sick. This is going to work for both of us.
Anyways, I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow but really, pregnancy was waaaay better than this! I love progesterone
Crystal I agree with you about the articles of really older women getting pregnant. In my mind, it's daunting (and a bit depressing hearing about anomolies). So many things have to line up to make it happen:
-Low end of the healthy BMI index, obesity is the number one risk of failure to implant or mc with ivf (the reason the NHS have limitations around who they'll assist with ART)
-Fantastic genetics
-No immune issues and if a person miraculously gets pregnant with immune issues, naturally or not, w/o treatment mc is such a high risk
-a husband who hasn't also fallen in fertility (with sperm count). As men age, for every year after 40, a man loses 10%/year in overall counts and is left with very little after 50 (average pop.)
-have to be extremely lucky to have an egg w/o chromosomal issues
I've had too many losses and even with my lucky little lady MacKinley I still don't believe it would happen for us again. In 6 years of eating well, perfect 28 day cycles, keeping my bmi low, my brain knows that even DE ivf is unlikely to work for us, and a natural would more than likely end before 8 weeks
