I love how this article ended. Please what is the name of the doctor your friend went to? You appear very knowledgeable in the field. Can you recommend any good doctor or hospital for PGD and what advise will you give someone that wants to go for ivf and PGD so as not to possibly pass on a genetic issue. Will appreciate any suggestion and information.

Tips For Getting Pregnant of AL 10:05AM June 17, 2010

Thanks for this post, and the link to your previous article -- it seems like so often we run to pharmaceutical solutions before choosing to alter our habits (I, too, drink too much Diet Coke...). I'm wary of drug treatments that haven't been properly tested, and of drugs that are used for secondary effects.

As a Nurse and a and a mother who went through years of polycystic ovary problems in my teens, and many surgical procedures later; I was at the realization I was facing the same outcome of not having a full term pregnancy. I went through a very bad nine months with a second pregnancy, and was bedridden sick, the entire nine months. After seven years and 2 more pregnancy's and 2 years of clomid and very careful medical management I had my second child and he was healthy.

I see people that are desperate to have their own children every day, I could never have anymore, I was lucky I was given 2 healthy boys and I cherish them. If a person has the financial means to support their family and the mental capacity to handle what it might give them,then I believe that is their perogative. People need to realize what a special gift this is.

Their are many people out their still waiting for a child that will never get one - and people who have them who don't realize what a gift it is to have them without medical problems that other women encounter. This is a issue you can look at from two directions.

Modern methods of NFP can probably help some of these women in achieving a pregnancy. It's not 100% or even near, but at least NFP should be tried before going into a drug treatment program.
