IVF

I'm not going to pull any punches here - anyone squeamish about "those" bits of the human anatomy and their functioning probably should be reading elsewhere, so I make no apology for the more graphic areas I have to touch on (as it were!) Ok - it's cards on the table time - I am officially a Jaffa (seedless - get it?) so I have firsthand experience of the whole IVF process, from our initial concerns, the many and varied medical enquiries, visits and consultations , through to the eventual end of the process, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's go back to the start..... A bit about me... I am now 45, but embarked on the whole IVF ...  Read the complete review

I was watching the news yesterday and saw the article about the postcode lottery for IVF treatment and I thought I would write a review expressing my opinions on the matter. Firstly I would like to say that I do not have any children myself as I have never been maternal and have never wanted children.

I have to be honest with this review, I have felt suicidal at points in my life when I thought I would never have a child. Getting pregnant became an all consuming obsession in my life and looking back I cant believe what I went through to have what is supposed to be natural in life.

Its such a personal experience I think people who may be faced with it need you know how it effects the life of you and your family. This review would be ...  Read the complete review

You spend your gettng drunk and partying years worrying about getting pregnant but you never think there is a possibility that you cannot actually concieve. Unfortunately this is true for so many women, like myself. I was a bit of a party animal and didn't meet the right person until my early thirties. I had never really thought about children until then, I was just interested in going out and having a good time. I met my partner on a blindish date, he is my best friends husbands best mate! Children couldn't have been furthest from my mind over the first year or so but then I realised that he was definately the ONE! and we should maybe think about starting a ...  Read the complete review
