Some ladies are not able to get pregnant email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. maximax8 (10345)   ranked 1 out of 1,898 in have kids4 months ago

They have tried unsuccessfully to get pregnant for years. The doctors have said their only possibility is IVF treatment. The lady must be under 39 years old and she is allowed one free of cost IVF treatment in my local area. In some other areas ladies are allowed to have up to three free IVF treatments. They call it the postcode lottery. Some ladies that can't get pregnant prefer to adopt a baby or a child that is unwanted.

What do you think?
If you couldn't have children naturally would you want to try IVF?
Would you prefer to adopt a baby or a child instead?

Right now, I have three kids and I don't want something that is not of natural occurrence. I have known many women who didn't have children and they adopted them a baby as their own. Although it is not a bad idea, I think that there might be a possibility of God opening the womb of the woman just like He did to Hannah in the Bible. She prayed so hard, year by year, and God answered her prayer and gave her many children. lol

Do you PERSONALLY know of anyone that prayed and prayed for years to get pregnant and finally did?


myLot reputation of 98/100. maximax8 (10345)   ranked 1 out of 1,898 in have kids  4 months ago

I know a lady that tried to get pregnant for eight years. She gave up and then got pregnant with twin boys.

i have no idea what is IVF but if the women can't conceive, i suggest to adopt a baby... because there are lots of side effects and should not be pressure for some women who cannot conceive... just accept what happens and it will go away... sometimes some IVF treatments really harm not only for women but also the newborn babies...


myLot reputation of 98/100. maximax8 (10345)   ranked 1 out of 1,898 in have kids  4 months ago

I think that medical treatment to have a baby can result in a multiple pregnancy. I know a lady that got pregnant with triplets. The doctors asked if she wanted a reduction but she didn't. Her boys were tiny at birth and each went into an incubator.

All I can say Maximax is that your postcode area is very generous. I don't know how they can call it a 'National' health service when different postcodes implement different rules, the whole thing is a complete nonsense.


myLot reputation of 99/100. polo_princess (594)   ranked 21 out of 1,898 in have kids  4 months ago

Totally agree with you, it should be one rule for all or not at all, since everyone pairs their shares of taxes equally


myLot reputation of 98/100. maximax8 (10345)   ranked 1 out of 1,898 in have kids  4 months ago

Postcode areas can be so different and it should indeed be the same health service for all. It is so silly that medical care varies depending on which location a British person lives in.

If came down to it and i needed to IVF would be my first option, i would consider adoption but would try other things first.

I think the postcode lottery is ridiculous, we all pay our fair and equal share of your taxes so i dont see why some people should get preferntial treatment just because of where they live. Imagine how devastating that is to people who have been trying for a baby for many years to find out they live in the "wrong are"


myLot reputation of 98/100. maximax8 (10345)   ranked 1 out of 1,898 in have kids  4 months ago

I think it must be really upsetting for a couple that live in a 'wrong area'. It is expensive to have IVF treatment if it is not on the National Health Service. Privately it costs about four thousand pounds.

5. myLot reputation of 96/100. AmbiePam (15211)   ranked 193 out of 1,898 in have kids   4 months ago

Around here IVF would not be free, although I'm not familiar with all of the requirements for the procedure. Unless I'm in the situation I don't know exactly what I would do. However, I think I would adopt a child rather than do IVF. Both are rather expensive. But I think it would make me feel better to know I'm taking care of a child that had no home, if I could not get pregnant myself.


myLot reputation of 98/100. maximax8 (10345)   ranked 1 out of 1,898 in have kids  4 months ago

It would be so lovely to adopt a child that needed a loving home. I like your idea of thinking that adopting would be best. Taking care of a needy child would be really rewarding I think my friend Ambie Pam.

Unfortunately, I'm one of those unlucky ladies. I got pregnant once but my only child died 4 years ago. Before I got pregnant with her, me and my partner had done several procedures to get me pregnant. It took us 4 and half years before I finally got pregnant. After her death, I didn't have the chance to get pregnant again. I had been visiting my OB for some regular check ups.

I tried IVF already, I dunno if it will do me some miracle if I will take one again.


myLot reputation of 99/100. polo_princess (594)   ranked 21 out of 1,898 in have kids  4 months ago

Just wanted to wish you luck in your IVF journey and hope that you can fall pregnant happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. maximax8 (10345)   ranked 1 out of 1,898 in have kids  4 months ago

I am so sorry to hear about you losing your baby girl. You must have had so much strength to try to get pregnant for four and a half years. I wish you luck in your IVF journey. I hope a miracle will take place for you. Good luck.

I might give in vitro a try. Hopefully it would work, but adoption would always be a good choice for me. There are many children in need of good parents and love.
Maybe I'm biased because I was adopted, but I see no difference in being raised by birth parents or adoptive parents that love us as much.
Actually even though I have my own children, if my life changed a bit and I could commit myself financially I would still like to adopt.
Personally I think it doesn't really matter all that much if we carried that child inside us or not, we can love both equally.

Nature has its own funny ways of balancing the population. For those unable to conceive, adoption makes common sense and helps out those poor unwanted orphans. On the other hand, the feeling of being able to get pregnant through IVF and actually give birth as a mother brings sheer joy which only a mother knows. I am not a woman but after working as a male nurse for a number of years in sevral UK General Hospitals, I too feel with joy whenever I see a new baby being born and the twinkle in both the mother and baby's eyes is undiscribeable. Life is forever wonderful.

I don't even know what IVF is and I've never heard of it. I know I'd never want it, though. I don't even want kids and consider those that are "unable" to have them very lucky. I'd love to get myself sterilized to decrease my chances of getting pregnant. If it were up to me, I'd just have my ovaries removed. They're pretty useless anyway, right? Plus, they only cause me pain and trouble.
