The Reality Behind IVF
IVF has allowed millions of people to become parents, but the stories of couples for whom it doesn't work are rarely told. Most embryos transferred in IVF do not implant or fail in some other way, resulting in heartbreak for many. The grief of losing something that could have been is a powerful and lonely experience. IVF is a process filled with hope, but the reality is that success is not guaranteed and the chances of it working vary from person to person.
