This is an area I find it funny. I have a strong belief that if you can't conceive naturally, then you shouldn't have children. Having said that, my wife had a "clean out" operation before we conceived as she had endometriosis. The discussions with the surgeon basically talked about the options after this if she did not get pregnant naturally and he was really pushing IVF. It is really here that I find my disconnect. I just can't seem to agree with having IVF treatment.
I'm not religious and I'm really not sure why I find this particular medical procedure wrong - I just do.
I think IVF is helping people have children when they are older, which I'm not sure is a good thing either.
I don't look down on people who do use it, but we decided we would be more likely to not have children at all or adopt if we couldn't conceive naturally (moot point now - 2 boys ages 4 and 2), rather than go through IVF.
