Making Baby Series - Part 5 : Making Babies Action Plan






A BETTER WAY
The program laid out in this book will guide you through the process of conceiving as naturally as you can given your own particular situation. This decreases the risks of ARTs and comes as close as is humanly possible to eliminating the risk of not having a child. It’s the paralyzing fear of that worst risk coming true that drives the whole crazy way the infertility industry works today.
The latest and greatest technologies are sold as the one true path to salvation, the only things keeping patients away from the abyss. But fear is a terrible place to proceed from.

What a couple being pushed that way really needs is basic information, good advice, judicious use of conventional and adjunctive treatments, and a certain amount of clearheaded patience. What they often don’t need is IVF. They don’t need the physical strain of extreme hormone doses and repeated invasive procedures. They don’t need the long-term increased health risks to mother and baby. They don’t need the emotional strains the IVF roller coaster puts couples on. (In psychological testing measuring stress levels, infertility patients score higher than cancer patients.) They don’t need the tremendous expense—in the New York metropolitan area, we’re talking an average of $12,000 to $14,000 per cycle—and they don’t need the additional stress that comes with that expense.

All these patients really need is a baby. When that goal proves difficult to achieve, they need careful detective work to uncover what’s really going on and to so reveal how best to address it. Then they need a wise guide to help them navigate through their choices—all their choices—until their primary need is fulfilled. Sometimes the solution is indeed IVF, but most times something far less drastic will do the trick.

High-tech medicine produces all kinds of miracles for all kinds of people, not the least of which are people desperately wanting to be parents. It isn’t that we shouldn’t use the technology available to us. It’s just that we should use it wisely and well. The widespread availability of IVF and all ARTs is undeniably a good thing. The overreliance on them is not. In this book, we aim to help you walk the fine line of what is best for you. Let technology work wonders for those who need it. Let nature work its wonders for those who don’t.
