Infertility Drugs and Techniques. Would you do it?

[1908Revelations]

Right now I would have to say I would not consider IVF. When I am older and I have exausted my resources, maybe. Adoption is always an option, plus there are fewer single people w/o kids, so.....maybe later in life if I am married w/o kids and my husband (should I get married) has kids then I may just be content being a stepmother. But I would like to have at least one child of my own.

Ladies,

I forget the exact name of the drug injected, but it is similar to that of several hormones. A good IVF place would make the best recommendation for you given your overall health. And yes, it is expensive. Last I heard between $16K to $20K per injection with 3 insertions per cycle. So much so that Suze Orman in O magazine says it is not worth is--June, 2007 edition.

Interesting that this comes up, I can try to do a scientific search.

All I would say is KNOW THYSELF if you choose to take this course of action and please, try to do this with your partner or loved ones...
