We had no doubt it would happen soon as we are both very healthy. 4 years, multiple surgeries, IVFs and thousands of dollars later, we are still longing for a baby!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But little did I know that out of my biggest despair would come the greatest gift to me and hundreds of other couples in the same situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody wants to put a price tag on their child, but the cost of treatment is often very prohibitive to many of us. We were no exception. After many sleepless nights and extensive research, I found a very successful clinic in the Czech Republic offering treatments to patients in need of IVF and IVF with egg/sperm donation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We did not want to keep this to only ourselves, so we founded a company to help others in our position. In only 24 months, &lt;strong&gt;MyIVFAlternative&lt;/strong&gt; has helped more than 100 couples conceive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myivfalternative.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.myivfalternative.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meantime, Jeremy and I will go to the Czech and try IVF once again this summer. Our desire and love for a child will not allow us to give up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want this blog to be a place of hope, knowledge and encouragement.
