I can still remember vaguely the mangled mix of emotions that I felt when andrea first showed me the pregnancy kit that she had just tested. I was afraid. I was excited. I was proud and happy but I was also seriously concerned. We were able to produce a new life. It was simply a miracle.

This I’m sure of because I know how difficult it is for something like this to happen. I mean, having studied all the particular details about it in Biology, I can imagine how small the odds are in conceiving a baby. In fact, I even know some people who’ve been trying for years to have one, but are still unsuccessful. Among them, there is one couple who’s considering going to the US to ask help from Dr. Randy Morris, medical director of the IVF 1, this summer. They said they want to try out IVF PGD, or In Vitro Fertilization Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, just to see how they can improve the chances of having their own baby. 

It seems that IVF 1 has found a way of improving the chances for pregnancy while reducing the risk for miscarriage because of this pre-implantation testing. If this is true then this is extremely good news not only for trying couples but also for humankind. I would certainly hope that everyone having difficulties getting pregnant consult IVF 1.
