Life begins at fertilization debate...

I am very happy to hear that the legislation in Mississippi did not pass.  It could have made access to IVF even more difficult.  I know this isn't over and the group that started the push is headed to other states as well, but it hurts my heart that legislation like this could be yet another stumbling block for couples who want to have a baby.
TTC since 3/07. IVF#1 = canceled. IVF#2 = 0% fertilization. IVF#3 = BFN. IVF#4 = c/p.  
Moving forward with Adoption 2017!

    It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.
