Good advice. We didn't ask a lot of pre-questions. We knew that we would be parents. Adoption was always something in the background. I think part of the problem is that when you start IF treatments, you hope that it won't take that long. We were very naive to the process and had no support so we never would have predicted how things turned out for us. Our decision to stop ART wasn't awfully hard. But, we had had enough and needed to reclaim our lives. Those are great questions. Good advice. We didn’t ask a lot of pre-questions. We knew that we would be parents.

Her main goal is to figure out our "new path" in life. She's been so helpful. My fertility doctor’s office provides us with an infertility counselor that we’ve certainly been taking advantage of.

My husband and I are facing this decision right now. We are on the same path in regards to wanting children...but, he is less concerned with the "effects" of IVF than I am (I've done most of the research). They make it seem so easy with the information they pass out sometimes; even though if you really dig into the materials it is not. We are in the process of gathering questions to ask the Dr. when we go to my post-op appointment next week. Thank you for the questions. My husband and I are facing this decision right now.
