Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi All,
We are planning to go for IVF, so would like to know the procedures and side effects with IVF. Please give me some suggestions who had already gone through the phase. Is this a painful process.
How will be the health after the IVF cycle. I heard it exposes our body to lot more medicene.
Pls accept my advance thanx.

I have gone through 3 ivf cycles and tell u my experience.It can be very physically invasive.you have to go through many injections and scans.yes a lot of drugs are involved and how ur body copes with it is individual.I was able to cope with it though i did feel quite bloated.once u finish the ivf cycle,there are no health issues.but u have to be emotional prepared for negetive result of ivf.that is the thoughest part.their is only 25-30% chance of success.but it is worth going through all this to get a child.i finally succeded after 3rd attempt and have a child.You can also read up on ivf through books or internet.hope my message was helpful.best of luck.
