    Anney, you just reminded me about the one thing I'd forgotten about... they way people treat you differently because you are using IVF to conceive. Because I became so ill after egg collections, it was necessary for me to tell more people at work than I wanted to. One in particular then figured she had free reign on asking me where we were at with cycles, and when we were transferring. I simply could not get her to understand that her questions were intrusive and upsetting and the equivalent of asking someone when they were having sex if they were able to cencieve the natural way...

    Yes, IVF turns your whole life upside down.

    What you said Sushee - but i can never put my thoughts into words like you do!

    I only hope that the money that is paid/received by all IVF treatments goes towards improving outcomes for all in terms of conception.

    Insulted isn't the right word, but I do worry about the futrure and designer babies.
