I would become a member so you can see al the ht info and read the guide.

In the US, it's between $14,000-20,000.

It depends if you want a child or a daughter and if you need a guarantee.

A daughter however people say u get what ur given and ur messing with nature.. Do u think that's true? X

No I don't think it's true. I have no moral issue with IVF and I don't fear the process. I got what I paid for.

We mess with nature everyday! I am not hurting anyone else and it's my life. God have us IVF is the way I view it. I often quote a story about a man caught in a storm waiting on God to save him.

A man was trapped in his house during a flood. He began praying to God to rescue him. He had a vision in his head of God’s hand reaching down from heaven and lifting him to safety. The water started to rise in his house. His neighbour urged him to leave and offered him a ride to safety. The man yelled back, “I am waiting for God to save me.” The neighbour drove off in his pick-up truck.


The man continued to pray and hold on to his vision. As the water began rising in his house, he had to climb up to the roof. A boat came by with some people heading for safe ground. They yelled at the man to grab a rope they were ready to throw and take him to safety. He told them that he was waiting for God to save him. They shook their heads and moved on.

The man continued to pray, believing with all his heart that he would be saved by God. The flood waters continued to rise. A helicopter flew by and a voice came over a loudspeaker offering to lower a ladder and take him off the roof. The man waved the helicopter away, shouting back that he was waiting for God to save him. The helicopter left. The flooding water came over the roof and caught him up and swept him away. He drowned.

When he reached heaven and asked, “God, why did you not save me? I believed in you with all my heart. Why did you let me drown?” God replied, “I sent you a pick-up truck, a boat and a helicopter and you refused all of them. What else could I possibly do for you?”

So, I got in the boat. That's how I view IVF.

I don't think that's true at all. We "mess with nature" all the time, heck, every time we put on clothes or eat a food that we didn't pick off a bush we're messing with nature!!!

Thanks ladies :) so how do I become a member and does it cost? And overall for pgd and everything u need how much we talking? I'm very keen

[119peanut]

Also is there a cheaper country that does this procedure

[covered in blue]

Just click on "become a member" top left. Yes is costs a minimal amount ($12 a year I think from memory - don't quote me on that). Definitely worth it if you are considering IVF!

what is that 'cheaper country'??

[atomic sagebrush]

There are some countries you can go to that have clinics in them that are more affordable than those in the US. But, some of the clinics are not very good and in some of the other countries, the laws and policies of the clinics are subject to change suddenly so it is possible to invest tons of money into the procedure only to find out that the law or policy has changed and you either cannot get your PGD done or else they won't tell you the gender of your embryos (and yes, both of these things have happened to people on this site)
