Am I ready for an IVF?

Fanny · 11-28-2012

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process by which an egg is fertilised by sperm outside the body: in vitro. IVF is a major treatment for infertility when other methods of assisted reproductive technology have failed. The process involves monitoring a woman's ovulatory process, removing ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilize them in a fluid medium in a laboratory. When a woman's natural cycle is monitored to collect a naturally selected ovum (egg) for fertilisation, it is known as natural cycle IVF. The fertilised egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient's uterus with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy. The first successful birth of a "test tube baby", Louise Brown, occurred in 1978. Louise Brown was born as a result of natural cycle IVF. Robert G. Edwards, the physiologist who developed the treatment, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2010.

Here is my question: Is it ok for me to go through this method? Me and dear hubby are only trying for 3 months, you think having an IVF should be done at a later time? How much would it cost me here in UK? Any ideas? Thank you!!!!

Too early. I think IVF is advisable if you're LTTTC / Long Term TCC...

I agree. Bloody early hun! Take your time with other alternatives.

Still too early! You are just waiting for 3 months... I know some who have waited for years and manage to have a child naturally!

Thanks for the words of encouragement!! I appreciate them... I guess it's too early. But there are times that we wanted to have out baby by hook or by crook! LOL. Cheers!

Yeah, it's too early. Enjoy the honeymoon stage first. IVF is also expensive so better to save up first or invest your money while waiting for your bundle of joy!

And also not a guarantee if you go for it. Good luck and it's great to know that the procedure went well girl!

I've heard it's expensive and there's no guarantee that it'll be successful the first time. Also, it's way too early to have one Fanny.

Way too early for an IVF I should say.
