The best age for woman to give birth would probably around mid 20s..

i had ectopic pregnancy right now…loosing hope for another chance because of my age….i am now 42…now thinking ivf can solve my problem..
excellent worker!

There is a small …
There is a small chance that the reasons of why you can’t get pregnant are still unknown to science. I’ve heard from my biology teacher of a couple that has been trying to get pregnant for about 3 years and the doctors couldn’t find their problem. They finally gave up, but after some months, she got pregnant. I’m not trying to discourage anyone from consulting a doctor: most of the cases are identified, but there are some few situations that science still can’t explain. Don’t lose hope
science doesnt …
science doesnt always have the answers especially quick hammer approaches theres other ways of TTC.
Our doctor has run …
Our doctor has run one test after another but in between 3-6 months. I can tell you it has taken us over 2 years just to take all these dam tests and he still has no idea why we can’t get pregnant. He told us that stress levels don’t matter as well as many other things. Any time we ask questions he doesn’t tell us much. I asked my General Practitioner for another referal but she refused and said he is the best and it is the only fertility clinic in our city.
Ok..as you have …
Ok..as you have identified yourself as a senior and have not yet learned how to weigh research evidence in your medical program…one can hope you will seek to become more informed. A good book to start would be How to Get Pregnant by Sherman Silber MD, Little, Brown and Company. Good luck in school!
Catholics should …
Catholics should know that this is morally unacceptable, Pope Benedict condemns this. See the latest video from Vatican.
That’s why couples …
That’s why couples are supposed to wait until the pregnancy is carried to term in order to decide what to do with the surplus blastocysts. Yea, I don’t agree with discarding the surplus eggs, but it’s up to the couple undergoing this. It would be great if surplus eggs could be used for hESCR but that’s pretty far from possible. Many ethical issues need to be fixed before anything can be done. Either way, not everyone can adopt. Adoption can be costly too and some have requisites for the adopters
look , a medical …
look , a medical journal :
“A study of 4000 mothers has revealed that children born to couples who have undergone fertility treatment are more likely to be diagnosed with autism, leukemia, brain tumors, cerebral palsy, attention deficit disorder, disorders of sight and hearing and mental retardation.”
see, being infertile is easier on a person than being a sad parent later. that miss suleman had all her kids by ivf. and some of them are autistic. not that she seems affected by that….
of course you can …
of course you can do what you want. i hope you have your baby.
but later in life doesnt mean older than 50 , right?! im 35 and quite afraid of being pregnant again , because down syndrome risk increases.
there ‘s an age for everything , nature says so , and humans are laughing at nature ….
and what’s the fuss about my comment about destroying the other embrios? it is true if doctors admit they do it. look at the octuplets mother , thats a relevant story about too many embrios implanted.
Some of the below …
Some of the below comments are awful! How any1 can narrow mindedly say a couple who are infertile can always adopt is shocking!
I am going thru IVF right now due to a blockage in my tubes not because i cant carry a child but because my egg cant pass thru the fluid.
Other couples may not have met the RIGHT person until later on in life and want to start a family then.
NObODY has the right to make an opinion on anyone with infertilty problems
i see the nazi old …
i see the nazi old girls here and their doctors dont like my comments !…
Thanks for the …
Thanks for the support. Unfortunately most of the people who replied have tried to put up a fight with me or accuse me of being absolutely wrong. Another unfortunate thing is: to see how much people of today have been swallowed into/by this ‘consumerism’ society; a socitey where people CONFUSE RIGHTS WITH GIFTS, and where the ‘WANT’ is more important than what is NECCESSARY.
army4evr, you are …
army4evr, you are so right!
if the couple is infertile , they can always adopt one !
and yes , they terminate most of the embryos and keep 1 or 2.
finally if there are 2 remaining with equal chances but the woman desires just 1 child , they kill the “twin” with an injection or something like that. hideous !
like the people that pay for the procedure.
No…
No…
are you catholic?

I did as well.

Ya, I do… I’m a …
Ya, I do… I’m a senior high school student who got accepted into McMaster university for medicine, and I did a project on In Vitro Fertlization, and got a very decent mark. I’ve done research on this for fun, and for education. I know this procedure inside and out. I have relatives as doctors, I hear from them. So, clearly, I know what I’m talking about. Seriously, do your research and I’ll do mine. Thanks.
You have no idea …
You have no idea what you are talking about. Don’t comment until you do a little reseach. You are not even worth arguing with.
You’re highly …
You’re highly misinformed.
Then resort to …
Then resort to helping others in a significant way. You have to fertilize 4-6 eggs, but choose one embryo to keep, and terminate (murder) the remaining 5. So you kill 5 lives to give birth to one child that has a higher risk of not even being successfully developed?
