[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll answer!  I spent a lot of time and energy debating IVF.  I was extremely dramatic.  Nervous about the meds.  Constantly agonizing. Putting it off.  Convincing myself I didn't want to have a child, but I did deep down.  Telling myself well maybe it will happen naturally.  Spent a few years doing this.

I somehow bit the bullet and did a round of IVF.  It was seriously NO big deal.  It's a distant memory.  I'm now in my third trimester.  Honestly, pregnancy has been a lot more stressful than IVF.  I think the hardest part about IVF can be getting started.  If you can handle pregnancy you can handle IVF.

I just think it's sad if OP wants another child but chooses to not have one because she can't face IVF.  [/quote]

I get that. But, surely you've been on this board long enough to know that IVF meds affect different people differently. For example, some women really react to Lupron, while it doesn't bother others at all. Not all people on here have the same resources either - financial or emotional. (My DH was very supportive but I know others who were not.) Some people are also just not willing to take the step. It's not important enough to them. That's ok. You look at OP and clearly see yourself. But, she's not you.[/quote]
