lou,

my priest was actually very supportive - I think individually most priests empathise with women struggling with infertility - but he too explained it was the dilemma about what to do with excess embryos that was the problem. And with IVF you run the risk of completing your family before tranferring every embryo, so it is considered unnecessary to collect as many eggs as possible and run the risk of having embryos you don't know what to do with. He actually told me that many devout Catholics who have to use IVF to conceive do natural cycles and only collect one egg per cycle!

I wouldn't go so far as doing that but I do believe that my little snowbub is a baby in waiting for me, so I prescribe to that belief anyway!
