Andy,

Yes you are right,as always,now a days i am really wondering what's gotten in to me,as after my son was born,i was really sure that now i have a daughter and a son both, and now we should not risk anything anymore,i don't know what happened to that decision of mine,where i lost it?
It's not only my hubby who wants more kids,but to be honest lately i am the who is thinking more about it,my husband says we have all the time in the world,you don't have to worry about it just right now. And of course we can not live with even the thought of another thal child,neither emotionally nor financially,i know we both have to sit and talk,well,my husband being not much of a talker is another thing,but anyways he is not pressurising me for anything,i just have the tendency to get depressed over anything,sometimes i think i should seek professional help.

Sah,

If it's not very personal ,can you please tell me from where do you belong?and was your first son diagnosed before your other son was born? if yes,then did you not go through CVS or something?

Kathy andd Umair,

Thanks for humouring everyone :) .

Zaini,
My daughter recently told me about your question and I thought of responding but when I came online and saw the news about Sajid I was heartbroken as he was one who provided inspiration and hope for others, he will surely be missed.

When we got married, we wanted 11 children, all girls!!!! My first and only child was diagnosed shortly after birth with thal major. When I found out that the only cure for this condition was transplant, I tried desperately to get pregnant again. The issue about whether the child would be thal also was banished as I knew that the testing was 99% correct...and that was 18 years ago.

Dont crush your dreams, there are lots of options available now. I also tried IVF back then, it wasnt all that bad.
If I could I would still go for it now.
Best of luck

Hi Roanna's Mom,

It was so kind of you to take your time and respond in this thread  :hugfriend i am really thankful,This decision is ofcourse a difficult one,and i am really not decided yet,or may be i should say we are not decided yet.A few days ago me and my hubby had a brief discussion about the situation and thought it was better to take our time and think about the options we have.

I went through pre natal testing when i was pregnant with my son,IVF is a really expensive option for us,i don't know the exact numbers,but a couple of years back a friend told me that it's about 10000 dollars.

Can i ask you why were you unsuccessfull when you tried for another baby,as you said you also tried IVF,what went wrong?

Thank you once again  :hugfriend

Zaini,

I can speak with experience, IVF not only expensive but bears a great risk of failure. Each IVF would cost around $5000 in Canada but the success is not guaranteed. One can try many times to get pregnant but it's all depends when it is going to happen.

Manal,

I didn't search it myself,but my friend took one of her friends to concept fertility centre a couple of years ago and she told me this,i don't know if she was wrong.

Sometimes when i find enough time i keep reading oldest posts on the forum,i read a member jemma once posted similar question about pregnancy and she also stated that in her country IVF cost 8000 $,i don't remember where was she from.

Well i think the ticket to Egypt is about 7 to 800 $ :) .

Canadian Family,

What you stated is the very same i read on internet every where,if also contains a great risk of other internal problems a woman can face,so if we ever opted for another pregnancy,i don't think IVF would be my option.
I have a son and a daughter both,so generally speaking i should be satisfied,but i want to give my daughetr a sister,i know it's not for sure that i'll have a daughter,but i wanted to give it a try,for her sake,as she would love to have a sister,as she often says so :) .

Thank you for your input.

The success rate of becoming pregnant in IVF is 30 to 40% and this is exactly the same rate in normal conception but in  normal usually couples are not aware of this fact. Usually in IVF doctors implant 2 to 3 embroys in order to increase the success rate as each embryos has a chance of 30% , so in this way success rate increases as there are more chances that any of the embroys will continue. That is why in IVF  usually there are twins.

Zaini, i know the cost because my cousin is specialized in IVF

Zaini,
Happy to be here with everyone. I always see this group as part of our family since most of the posts reflect what we all feel.

The success of IVF totally depends on the indiividual. In my case i only tried it when everything else failed and it was really too late for that attempt. I had endometriosis,  a condition which affects the lining of the womb. Roanna was my miracle as my stage, when finally diagnosed was bad. My doctors had actually advised against trying but my daughter was my first and only concern and transplant seemed like a miracle.

When they forced me to have a hysterectomy, I was badly depressed for months as my daughter's future seemed bleak. it got worse when we visited the doctors in London to find out that she was severely iron overloaded in her heart and liver.

The medication too which was then prescribed was not available or approved in my country and it was an almighty struggle to obtain the approval and therapy for her. Finally we got access to the drugs- ferriprox and desferal which has now brought her back to the normal ranges, thank God!

Most of the procedures are very expensive- IVF etc and it depends on what your dreams are. I can also tell you that it is hard to attempt one and dont get positive results, but remember if you are perfectly healthy otherwise your chances are much better than mine ever was.

I hope that this helps you to put things in perspective. Best wishes for the future.
Romaine
