Is there an age at which women should be discouraged from attempting to fall pregnant using IVF? |OPINION by Wendy Squires

As has happened so many times before, I recently had an uncomfortable conversation with a dear friend who has decided to give IVF a go.

My friend hasn’t moved on. She admitted today she’s starting on her third round, and will “definitely stop” after that. Now, before I let rip, let me explain that I believe IVF is the greatest thing to happen to women since the pill. This new site finally allows women to realise this without being blinkered to the facts or having expensive carrots dangled in front of them by those willing to exploit their pain.

Mother of my daughter was 41 at the time she gave birth. (Natural) It was not her first child. Whilst not wanting to deny a person the love I have for my family. There are issues not the least the baby's health. (We were lucky) I think adoption would be better than IVF.

& gay couples ...

$$$$$$ that keep merry go around going. We were pushed for years to get IVF while spending 6 years trying to get a diagnosis for endometriosis (losing 2 pregnancies in process). Once that happened it was treated and we conceived within a year. Now have a happy healthy baby.

Menstrual age

18+. The world is not short of babies.
