[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can depend on why you did IVF. My first response to your thread title was "no" because I have a close friend who conceived both of her kids via IVF simply because her work covered it and it allowed her to perfectly time her pregnancies. She was under 35, and had no indication of infertility. They only implanted one embryo both times, and both "took."

Her pregnancies were both lower risk than my naturally conceived pregnancy at 37. Of your list, I had to do all but #2 (I actually had to do 3 anatomy scans because of a potential problem detected on the 20 week scan).[/quote]

This is completely insane. [/quote]

Yes agreed like most posts here. Why someone would go through IVF voluntarily and without any fertility issues is nuts. There’s so much time and effort and injections and hormones involved. Sounds like a super control freak to me! I wonder how many embryos are on ice for them. I imagine they have several if they have no issue with egg and sperm count and quality etc. definitely unethical. Good thing they aren’t in Alabama! [/quote]

Well it also stretches the limits of plausibility that you would go through all of this, rather than just have sex with your husband.

I think they probably have an issue like ED and for obvious reasons did not want to say the real story.[/quote]

There’s a decent amount of people (thousands - rare but not unheard of) who use IVF for family balancing/gender selection. There’s a few groups on social media about it. A good chunk of people in them actually travel to different countries to do the procedure since their home countries ban gender selection. [/quote]
