    Where to find info on IVF for a non-IVFer

    The title doesn't really make sense but I am not sure how else to put it...

    I have a friend who is just starting her first IVF cycle with her DH. They are undergoing IVF due to male factor fertility.

    I know a little about IVF and that there are various treatments they could undergo. My friend admits she didn't really ask about the other treatments and accepted that their FS recommended IVF. I also know a little bit about the medications she will undergo during the cycle.

    I have tried to find out my own information to better inform myself so that she doesn't need to constantly explain things to me but I am having issues finding stuff that I don't need a medical degree to understand.

    Can anyone point me in the direction of some good quality information? I have read some of the threads on BB and I understand a small percentage of them.

    Thank you for your help in advance

    i don't know that i can point you anywhere other than the long term threads as most stuff you google will be the technical gibberish that makes everyone feel like an uneducated git! - but if you'd like, i am happy for you to PM me any questions you might have in regards to the process...

    You could try checking out the info pages of some clinics, but then that info might be a bit *too* simplistic...

    Maybe try the Australian Fertility Association/ Society (sorry can't remember which one it's called).
    Also, some of the bigger clinics have pretty good websites too.

    Good luck

    I have a DVD that I can send to you, that our Fertility Clinic gave to us, that explains and shows each procedure. It's quite educational without being too full on.

    PM me your details and I will post it this week if you like ?
