Small
Oil/Collage
Somebody I know tries to get
pregnant via
IVF.
Most couples just assume that having a
baby when the time is right will be a natural
part of their journey together. However, the
reality is that a growing number of people are
struggling with infertility problems.
Infertility affects about 6.1 million people in
the United States, about 10% of men and
women of reproductive age.
New and
advanced technologies to help a woman
become pregnant include in vitro fertilization
(IVF).
After going through several unsuccessful IVF
cycles, there are many things that run through
her head that are hard to grasp.
That
being said, one of the hardest parts of IVF and
fertility treatments in general is playing the
waiting game.
If my friends only could be assured that one... just one... IVF cycle worked...
This collage is meant for all
of
those
who
are in the same situation:
Hang in
there!
