Using in vitro fertilization to get pregnant when you are having problems with fertility is not something that is uncommon. Nevertheless, it is something that can be a really emotionally trying experience so it's helpful to surround yourself with positive stories about people who have had success in overcoming infertility.
For example, take the case of Kathy and Cornel Butuceanu, a couple who made headlines four or five years back because of their unusual in vitro story. Cornel's sperm was combined with the eggs of a Russian donor and implanted into Kathy's womb when she was over the age of 50. The in vitro was successful and she had twin boys.
A recent update with the family (see link above) shows that they are happy and healthy. The parents say that they couldn't otherwise have had the beautiful experience of raising a family since Kathy wasn't able to get pregnant any other way. And yes, they say, they would do it again in a heartbeat.
Question of the Day: Does it make you feel good or bad to see other people having success with in vitro fertilization?
