[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That I wasn't alone. I think more of our friends with kids did IVF or IUI to conceive than those that didn't.[/quote]

2.3% of births are IVF. Just wanted to throw that out there, of course your friends and self could all be 40 plus parents. Also, this means that there could be more lurking that were not successful. Sadly, it is not guaranteed and its something that is difficult to come to terms with. Luckily, you are parents OP so that will ease the extreme disappointment should you not be successful.[/quote]

More people have experience with ART than that 2.3% implies, because it's 2.3% of births, not 2.3% of parents.  I have a living child and have had to use IVF for my current pregnancy - out of the 6 women I keep up with from my PACE group, none used ART for their first child and 4 have used IVF to try to get pregnant a second child.

That is literally what I said genius. My point is that not everyone is successful which seems to be who the majority of responses are from.[/quote]
