This is just a HUGE question that probably brings up controversy but I need to hear some opinions!
I have PCOS and have been ttc for 4 years now with no luck obviously. I tried the hormone shots for two months but could not concieve or afford a third month. The more months go by with no baby and my husband graduates from paramedic school in May 2008, we are wanting to REALLY start trying again with our RE in San Antonio, since we will be more financially stable.
So my problem is....I am a religious woman that, first of all, wants to know what I did wrong that God doesn't want me to have children at this time in my life (or possibly EVER) I already felt weird about the 2 months of IUI with hormone injections, because me and my husband were not being able to make love and concieve in a normal way..you know what I mean??? With him having to feel uncomfortable about making a sperm deposit in the office because we lived 2 hours from the office. Well, I just have to face the reality of it and many women get PG and have happy families using IVF, but I really don't understand IVF I suppose...because I thought they take a bunch of your eggs and fertilize them right away with your husband's sperm (or donor sperm) and THEN freeze the ones you don't use. So is that right??? You have fertilized eggs in a freezer? I am not critisizing, I am just trying to learn how it works, because I want to feel comfortable if I have to resort to IVF. I have always felt that once the egg is fertilized it was a baby in the process of growing into a miracle ( I know many don't feel this way and that is fine...this is just my oppinion.) So my concearn is that I would be leaving all those little unborn babies a freezer if I never use them all...does this make sense. Like I said, I don't know how they do it...maybe they just take the eggs freeze them....that would make more sense...I just don't know and would like to hear from someone that KNOWS what they are talking about.
Sorry for the long forum....but this is the one thing I've always needed to let off my chest and discuss with anyone. Thanks so much! Merry Christmas and God Bless all of you ttc or anyone that is pg already!!!!!
