The advice that I would give parents, thinking of becoming parents through IVF, is have a clear plan ahead of time. Decide what you can afford financially and emotionally, because once you start down that road it is compulsive and it's easy to keep going. For me, we planned and could afford three IVF attempts. I got pregnant the third time of IVF treatment. You have to have a plan ahead of time because it is a slippery slope.
