The transcript from our February 2002 infertility chat on America Online.

I'm 36 and have endometriosis. I have had 2 surgeries and still nothing. The Dr. said I'm only a stage 1 or 2 and have done IVF 3 times. Is there anything else I can try?


This is really a question best posted for resolve.org but it took us 5 tries.




What would you do differently based on the information in the article?



Bill and Susan: I think it's important to point out that the information in the article wasn't available when we made our decisions. Given the FDA actions, there wouldn't be a decision to be made...it's been pulled. (Specifically for co-culture) If we didn't do ICSI, we wouldn't have children. Honestly, if it was presented in a way that it would cause trauma to our offspring, we probably wouldn't have done it.




Thank you everyone for attending the chat.
