IVF: When is Enough .....Enough? NOW WHAT?
"My IVF attempts have been unsuccessful; shall I keep on trying or consider egg donor?”
“My body is failing me, I feel cheated…can’t get pregnant naturally, and now can’t win with IVF.
“It worked; YES! I was pregnant… for 4 days and then lost it!. What’s wrong with me?”
”At least you’ve tried it…I’m too scared to begin the IVF process. What happens if it doesn’t work and I’m at the end of the road?”
This group will empower you to make the most informed decision in the event your IVF treatment is not successful. This group will help you explore some of the following challenges that you might experience while hearing suggestions and questions from other women facing similar concerns.
-What to do if you want to keep on trying IVF and your partner disagrees?
-What to do if you want to explore other options and your MD advises you to try another cycle?
-When is it the right time to consider a third party option such as donor egg or donor sperm?
We invite you to ask your own questions and receive support.
