I don't think I'd feel any differently about DS if I'd have "paid" for him. I have enough love for more babies, and the joy is I don't have to worry about not being able to pay the mortgage or dying in the process of conceiving. That's wonderful for me and I am very blessed to have that - but that doesn't lessen the love I have for him or any potential future child.

This has been so eye-opening and tbh people do need to know more about the specifics of IVF - AND the specifics of what can be done in which country. OK, so Australia has a good record, the US is concerned more about money (now there's a shocker).

Thank you all so much for sharing your stories, ladies, no matter how insulted and hurt you are feeling about this issue.
