    Tami...Yep i had it done at Westmead IVF in Sydney, this is there website WestMead Fertility Centre They are a non profit clinic so this is why they are cheaper and medicare also send them a cheque for just over $2000 from memory. All you need to do is call them and they will point you in the right direaction and send out an information pack. It is strange doing IVF when you have fallen pregnant the normal way and then all of a sudden you are one of those people that you hear stories about that cant have kids. Even tho you already have 4 children the want for another one really hurts when it cant or wont happen. I guess it really makes us understand how those people that cant have a baby really feel cause we are in the same boat even tho we have kids it just the same as them. This is something i wanted so bad so i just jump in feet first cause i wasnt going to wait at what ever cost. I didnt really have the money to be spending on having another baby but if we want something bad enough we always find the money dont we. Each week leading up to my appt i put away $200 so by the time i was finished see the fertility specialist which you have to do and i finished a course of the pill which you also have to do i had saved up all the money and the rest is history.

    Crazymum.. best you have you phone on you on Thursday so i can message you so you can let the girls know all the details

    Morning Ladies,
    What a huge relief it is to finally be able to chat to like minded individuals. Alot of people just don't understand how strong the desire to have another can be and you always hear comments such as 'you already have four what do you want another one for?' and ' just be happy with what you have got'. My heart goes out to those couples who don't have any children and are on the ivf path.
    I never in my widest dreams thought that ivf would be a reality for me but you have all given me a bit of hope, so thank you.
    I will be looking into it and will let you know how we get on and what we decide.
    Have a lovely day.

    I contacted IVF Sunshine coast yesterday and have requested a brochure. They offer a free consultation which is great news. I have not been able to stop thinking about it, isn't it funny how once you know there is a way you start to fantasise well that is what I am doing. To think that something I have longed for may eventuate is a very exciting prospect.

    I just wanted to ask if there is ever a time when IVF is not a possibility? The reason I ask is that I had pregnancy induced hypertension that required taking meds in my pregnancies, I am hoping with regular monitoring that it will be okay and I will have as good outcomes as with previous pregnancies. I also know of women that had the same condition with some pregnancies but not others.

    Oh so many questions, I will be sure to write them all down and take them with me for my first consult.
