While I have seen some pretty grotesque ways of using IVF I have to say that I proudly used it.

Before getting married I knew my wife had already had her tubes tied. Never being married myself I knew it wouldn't be fair to hold her divorce against her. She had her tubes tied after having her two other children.

Instead of going through a risky procedure(tubeal ligation reversal) we decided that IVF was the way to go. I'm happy to report that after putting in two embryos we have been blessed with two soon to be very healthy baby girls.

I know on judgement day I might have to face the music. But I also know that I did was the safest thing for my wife.

There are a lot of follow up studies on the children of IVF, but not many on the women. Please tell her to get good follow up care. Pay close attention to the possibility of early menopause and osteoporosis. She probably already knows about the cancer risk.
