Published Date: 07 December 2007
MORE women are having fertility treatment, with success rates rising, figures show.
The number of women having treatment rose nearly 6 per cent to 32,626 in 2005 from 30,861 in 2004, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority said.

The overall live birthrate for all IVF treatment was 21.6 per cent, up 0.9 per cent from 2004. However, the figures showed wide variations across Scotland. The UK success rate for under-35s using their own fresh eggs was 29.6 per cent. But at the Glasgow Nuffield it fell to 25.3 per cent, while in Aberdeen it was 24.5 per cent.

The Edinburgh Assisted Conception Unit had the highest success rate for under-35s at 38.4 per cent.

Some clinics may treat more patients with more complex issues, which may account for lower rates.

Well I certainly, 'hope and pray' it works for us!
Coming on 40% for the Edinburgh ERI IVF unit is pretty good, without their help, it would be a 'miracle' if we ever got pregnant, maybe a 2% chance on our own?
Even with their help and we do become pregnant, its NOT nearly over!, as miscarriage is a lot higher for couples on IVF. (something you may not know)
I know of a couple for example that went 10weeks pregnant, then miscarried,
How SAD is that?
You have to remember, most couples seeking IVF like us, 'really really' want that 'Baby' out of pure love and this child will be looked after and 'Loved' from conception to eternity.
As I have said many a time on these IVF issues, as a Man, 'never ever, ever, in a million years would I of thought it would affect my life, in the way it does!
After-all, as most of you know, I have fathered two beautiful daughters in the past, but even I have,
'Broken Down in Tears', thinking my wife may never have 'a-Baby'
I don't care what anyone thinks, because that's the way it is!
For me, ask me; Charles, £8mill win on the lottery or a 'Baby'?
I would take our chance for the 'Baby' every time!
So that's how I feel about it! What about my DYW??
(darling young wife)
Her Body was made to, 'have-a-Baby' and for her, her maternal instincts are 'very-strong' and longs to even get pregnant!
I think her 'Maternal Feelings' kicked in 10years ago, when we first started to try for 'a-Baby'
She doesn't show it, but I know it hurts her 'very-much', not even being able to conceive, even WORSE, when someone she knows and had sex and got pregnant and don't want their Baby!, then aborted her/him!
I am sure my DYW, has her 'Silent Tears' even if she hides it, I know its there, the 'heartbreak' of NOT being able to become Pregnant, must be,
'Tremendous' for her!
So 'YES'!!
"Success rate of fertility treatment on the rise" IS Real good News! an
