Ruth asks…
is it possible for me to have a natural pregnancy?
so it turns out that my left ovary is the dominant one. i didn’t have a problem with this before, but a month ago i had this thing happened and the doctors had to remove my left ovary. i’m 22 now, and although i have no plan to have a baby in the next 5 years, i feel worried about my chance to have one. the doctor said that i could always have IVF, but he said my chance to have a natural one is pretty slim. i just want to know your opinion about this, do you think i still have a chance to have a natural pregnancy?
so far i’ve seen 2 doctors, and both of them are great! my mom asked me to see another one, u know, just to make sure, but i just couldn’t bear another same explanation. being told this kind of thing is bad enough, let alone having it repeated again and again. nevertheless, thank u guys! :))

Chris asks…
Is IVF and other forms of “doctor assisted” pregnancy an abomination?
OK whether you believe in God or in evolution, wouldn’t IVF and other forms of medically assisted pregnancies go against your belief?
For those who believe in God, wouldn’t it be up to Him if you conceive?
And for those who believe in evolution, wouldn’t natural selection dictate whether you conceive as well?
Not trying to be offensive just curious which belief you have and how you feel about medical fertilization.
*** Tracy, why are you so abusive? I never said one way or the other about what I believe. I simply wanted to know how others feel about IVF when they put their personal belief system into play. Get over yourself, I can’t believe your account has lasted as long as it has!***
Michelle answers:
I have often wondered about this. Why stop at IVF? Doesn’t all medication (diabetes) that enables a person to live that wouldn’t be able too without it weaken the species as a whole?
The current mentality is a result of the cultural evolution of compassion.
A straight “right or wrong”, “good idea or bad idea” and IVF would clearly be a mistake.
But if nothing else compassion is what makes us human. For better or worse it is our natural state to be compassionate.
And a lot of horrible medical conditions that require IVF is a result of bad choices or recessive genes.
In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t really matter. I would be more concerned about the genetic damage of using egg’s to create sperm and sperm to create eggs. Along with “designer babies” and genetic alterations to our genome.
Lisa asks…
With a 21 day cycle when should I start Clomid?
I am 40 and have a 1 year old son that was conceived via IVF. We were hoping for a natural pregnancy, nothing so far. My OB said she would give me 3 rounds of Clomid before going the IVF route again. I am getting an Rx and the instructions are to take cycle days 5-9…but I have 21 day cycle…does that seem right??? TIA!!!
Michelle answers:
I guess if that is what your dr said. But when I had taken it it was day 3-7, and that is what I have heard most do. But with your short cycle maybe that is why yours is different. Good luck, hope it works for you. It did for us however turned out to be an ectopic that ruptured.
Donald asks…
RE: IVF, If a fertilized embryo is frozen for 5 years then inseminated, surely the baby would have problems?
Does anyone else think IVF is just not natural?
I mean, sperm and egg weren’t meant to last outside of the Human Body for too long…yet scientists are now playing God by mixing sperm+egg in a Petri Dish, then freezing them for 5+ years…and then the couple decides years down the track to insert the embryo into the woman?
Surely there must be some long-term effects on the baby? Would a baby grow up “normal” if it had actually been frozen for 5 years before?! It just doesn’t seem right/natural and is not the way God intended couples to conceive!
Having children is NOT a right! If you are barren…then tough. That is your lot in life.
Michelle answers:
“scientists are now playing God”
Well when “God” himself doesn’t even show up, someone has to take on the role..
