So the octuplet controversy is going on right now. There was a woman who had 8 babies last week and it has come out that she used IVF to have her children. Oh Boy! This will hurt the image of those of us undergoing IVF. I am thankful the women at my work have not brought this up at lunch yet. But, they will.
I work at a conservative Christian organization. They are pretty progressive for our faith, but they are conservative for mainstream society. What will they think? I don't really know or care, but I don't want to know by having a discussion. I'm just worrying for nothing, I know. I guess it's just part of the hormones streaming through my body.
We got our thaw consent forms in the mail. Normal, expected, but there was something that bothered me. Did I read it that there is really only an 8% chance for the FET to work? AHHHH! No, it is more. I must think positively.
I begin Lupron Feb 18th. We'll see........

Did you see it confirmed somewhere that it was IVF? Sounded more like IUI from what I read.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like IUI, but the mother is claiming it was IVF. I had a hard time believing it, too...I don't know a doctor that would implant that many.
