    I tried IVF once and I lost him sadly, made it 5 months but had some problems with my health and went into labor early, he survived for 28 minutes. His name was Gabriel after the angel.
    Nothing wrong with the IVF just me, i had another son at 5 months, daughter after him came at 6 months and my twins came at 7½ months, I just have problems carrying kids.

    In vitro fertilization can be a touchy subject, but when used the right way for the right reasons it can be very useful to people who need it. Ways it can be useful for people is if the husband or wife has infertility or if either of them has a cancer that doesn’t allow them to be able to conceive or for homosexual couples who can’t conceive naturally. Just because someone is unable to make a child doesn’t mean they can never have any ever. This is a way for people to be able to have their own child, with their own genetic makeup. The people who are unable to have their own children shouldn’t be punished. In vitro fertilization is their way out of their sticky situation. Yes, it may not be natural but we have the technology to give people a child even when they may not be able to normally. It is not like the parents are specifically “picking out” their child. They are randomly taking eggs out of the woman’s ovary and fertilizing them with a random sperm from the male and putting the finished product back in the woman’s uterus after about five days to finish its development before birth. Essentially, everything is happening, just not in the body. But, this is what has to happen for some people so they can have a child. No one should be denied the gift of a child, no matter how it came about.

    My husband is missing his vas deferens. I have pcos. We’re starting the IVF process and we couldn’t be more excited. People saying “adopt”. It’s not that easy. And other than our issues we’re completely healthy adults. We deserve to create a part of ourselves. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it controversial? Sure. But we plan to have every embryo we create become a loved part of our family. That’s our biggest thing. We won’t let a healthy BABY go unloved. We understand what it entails. And we accept the journey we’re on.

      I love this video it has beautiful animation and it also makes IVF easy to understand and I love how IVF has changed women’s lives . My heart goes out to people that didn’t know that IVF existed and thought they couldn’t have a baby when there dream was to have one. And if you are made fun of because you are an IVF baby remember you were just born in a different way doesn’t matter you are no different than every other person you were just born in a different way🤰🤱🏻👨🏼‍🍼🧑🏽‍🍼👶🏻🥰
