Hi,
I missed your show & I was interested in this subject as I just went through in vitro yesterday. My husband & I have been trying for 3 yrs & we have been uncessful & we finally decided to go through this roller coaster. I've been researching it for sometime & we couldn't afford the expense in the U.S so we found one in Ensenada, MX & decided to do it. Now it's up to god & were anxiously waitting the results.
