[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think there is a difference between treatment (where IVF can indeed help) and age. I am not sure IVF helps AMAs any more than consistent, timed intercourse.[/quote]
I'm the PP you're quoting: I definitely understand what you're saying here. I'm single, so my *personal* calculus when deciding to go through IVF is different from someone who can do this for free! :) My chances with IVF were higher than my chances with IUI.

But my situation isn't what most AMA women are facing. I think you make a really good point about the worth (or potential lack of worth) of IVF for "unexplained infertility." IVF boosts your chances to some extent, a couple of percentage points, but enough to make it worth the price? That's worth some very serious soul-searching.

And of course, there's stats but every individual person is different and has a different fertility profile. So maybe it IS worth it for some women. You're making a choice to do it, but it sounds like a very informed choice.[/quote]

I agree with what you are saying  :). [/quote]
