Donna asks…
my wife has just had icsi ivf got a positive out come next thing shes misscarring?
do you think because she got pregnant if we try natural it may happen because her body now knows what its like to be pregnant
Michelle answers:
Depends on why you had to do IVF. If either of you have a medical problem that was causing the problems in conceiving, they trying on your own might not help. I have PCOS and finally got pregnant with IVF. If I miscarry, which is highly possible for me because I am only 7 weeks, I will have to do IVF again because I don’t ovulate. If she ovulates normally and your sperm is fine, the I would give it a shot trying on your own. Also if you do IVF again, I would ask the progesterone shots. They help the lining attach and stay were it should. They tell me that it helps decrease the chance of miscarrying.
Lisa asks…
Has anyone tried GenSelect? Did it work for you or someone u know?
This is a natural method to influence either a boy or a girl pregnancy.
I have three daughters and would like to try one last time for a son.
This is NOT IVF…it is taking vitamins and timing intercourse to influence what sperm reaches your egg first.
And before anyone says it, I LOVE my daughters and think ALL children are a blessing. But that doesn’t erase mine and my husband’s desire for a son.
Thanks.
Michelle answers:
It’s alright to want a son…it doesn’t mean you’ll love this child any less. It’s perfectly human for you to have wants and desires. I think it’s a good thing to try as long as you aren’t going to extremes (such as aborting a baby because it’s the wrong gender or using IVF to pick the sex, that just isn’t right).
I’ve heard that it actually works and science backs it up. Google it and there are a ton of websites with evidence backing it up. We are going to try this when we try for a second (but for a girl not a boy); I do want to experience a daughter. But if we have another boy, that’s great too! I believe that if you are trying for a boy and are just meant to have a girl than you will have a girl anyways, so it doesn’t really mess with fate in my mind (as long as it doesn’t go too far like I said above).
Good luck and lots of blue baby dust to you! 🙂
Linda asks…
Ladies, how do you feel about being inseminated or using IVF?
Am I the only one who wishes that the natural way would just work with the help of clomid or whatever fertility drug it takes? I am not sure why, but I hate the thought of having to be inseminated by a doctor. I want my baby conceived out of love in the bedroom or where ever it happens to be, not in a lab or doctors office. How can I get myself use to the idea of that might be what it takes for me to get pregnant? We have seriously been trying for over a year. 5 rounds of clomid in my tww.
Michelle answers:
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! I feel the exact same way as you do! My husband has spina bifida and is paralyzed for the waist down. He has retrograde ejaculation (its where the sperm goes up in the bladder instead of out) which means that they only way to conceive a child is through AI or IVF. Sometimes I think how much easier my life would be if we could just conceive naturally. Then you read so many stories on hear about teenagers who “messed up” and you just feel…I don’t know I can’t really explain it. I would love to tell my child when they are a lot older probably adults how they were conceived out of love not a doctor.
As far as getting use to it I don’t know that I am much help figuring I still am having a hard time getting used to it. Just remember that you are going to love your child no matter if they were conceived by a doctor or conceived in a bedroom!
Laura asks…
Do you think you should be able to design your own baby?
ie, we deal with IVF, and the new techniques such as germ cell & cloning, and the fact its now a possibility for a man to become pregnant, do you think we should disturb the natural course of nature?
Michelle answers:
Yes, but to a limit. Presently, we are not really following “nature’s rule”. We give eyeglasses for those who don’t see well, we give antibiotics to people with fever, we perform life-saving operations and we don’t let sick people die of hunger. We also make it possible for people to have children even if they cannot do this “by the normal natural ways”. So, if its possible, why let people have babies with hereditary deceases or diabetes or anything like this?
A civilised society should be able to cope with this. But to choose the sex or the col or of the eyes – that would really be too much and totally unnecessary.
