As you guys know - i had twins through IVF. My son has a chromosone syndrome where he has extra X's and had birth defects to his bladder, urethea and penis. This was partly due to being prem , but also related to his chromosone problem. He also had a slight hair lip and tongue tie
My daughter has absolutely nothing wrong.
I often wonder if the drugs that were given to me caused them, as his chromose problem occured just after coception when his X and Y cells were dividing and sorting themselves out - But you know what. I don't care what the reason, and I AM JUST SO GLAD AND GRATEFUL TO HAVE HIM.
The ironic thing is that the main thing with his condition is that he has a 90% chance of being infertile, but the clinic that I went through are now world leaders in helping men with his condition to conceive.
After the kids were born, the rang me to see how everything went and do like a survey which was problably used in this data. They rang bak a few days later to tell me that they had just had one of their patients with the same problem as my son through for IVF and his wife had just given birth to a healthy and normal child. We cried so much with relief.
By the time my son is ready to have kids anyway- you probaly just have to pop a pill to get pg the way technology is going.
So that is my 50 cents worth.
Statistics mean nothing to me anymore. They are just ways for doctors to measure their successes and failures . They don't consider people.
