I have found that a lot of people dont have a clue what all is actually involved in IVF. They think its articificial insemination or that it just has to do with some shots that the person has to take. I have found that through investigating people’s opinions about embryonic stem cell research. There is a huge outcry against embryonic stem cell research from the pro life groups, because it kills embryos, but nothing about IVF. The Catholic church is against IVF, but there are virtually no groups or lobbyists trying to make IVF illegal because it kills embryos.
My point in all that is that if you get answers, its hard to know how accurate of an idea the person has about IVF when they are answering.
I personally support IVF for those who want to do it. It is my only option for conceiving, but have decided that I dont want to try it. However, that is more because I could never come up with that amount of money, and if I did there are so many other things I would need to spend it on.
Although, I do wish more people were interested in helping the homeless and foster children we already have rather than spending thousands to have their own baby.

Why have you put this question in the cancer section? Just wondering?
Chemotherapy can make people infertile. IVF can give some couples the option of creating embryos or freezing sperm before chemo begins so that they may have their own biological children post treatment.
My husband and I want another child, but I wasn’t a candidate for IVF because my cancer was hormone receptor positive and I couldn’t delay treatment, it was going to take weeks to get an appointment with the IVF clinic. Collecting eggs and creating embryos isn’t a simple or quick process. It was going to cost $ 3000AUD to have IVF and we didn’t have that kind of money, I already had some huge medical bills and I had to stop working.
I’m still undecided about older women using IVF with donor eggs, post menopausal women in their late 50′s having children seems unnatural to me.
