Last night for some reason we just left it on and watched it. I said the same thing when they were doing the u/s outside. My DH doesn't really know the specifics because he's never come into the room with me during that part. I couldn't believe it either! I expect that she's supposed to be 45+ too. This is exactly what perpetuates the IVF myth. My husband and I were both a little stunned when the 1st IVF didn't work. And I was 39/40. We were lead to believe that it wouldn't be a problem if you use IVF. If you are someone who isn't seriously trying you're not looking at the stats. But everyone can't help but follow the media. They're always announcing someone over 39 getting pregnant. It's really sad too. That's why I always say that people view childless couples as "not wanting" children. Because I truly feel that they think that if we wanted them we would've tried IVF. Most people are clueless as to what many of us have been through. And I used to be one of them.<br /><br />On a side note, we ended up getting a whopping 18" of that darn snow! My arms are killing me! Take care :)<br /><br />Tmaxandzuzuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586037097943565976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38792679.post-69325274857382522392010-02-11T11:10:11.805-05:002010-02-11T11:10:11.805-05:00I agree with you 100%.

I had a really though time educating my family about it, because they were in total denial that it might not work. Every time I would say that it's an x% chance of success, my sister or my mom would say that I don't have to be negative about it. Hello!!! It's called being realistic and knowing that IVF does not equal baby. They were in total shock when I m/c-ed after our IVF. Ignorance is bliss I suppose. Now, they had their reality check so they don't say anything anymore when it comes to stat numbers.Spaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08218029997493071344noreply@blogger.com
