What are some in vitro fertilization horror stories?

A story that stands out is of a single woman who decided to have a baby on her own through in vitro fertilization. She overcame the social stigma and financial difficulties. Now she has a lovely daughter and is living a happy life. This shows that IVF can be a great option for single women too.

One example is a couple who had been trying to conceive for years. With just one embryo transfer, they were successful. The embryo was carefully selected and the woman followed a strict pre - transfer regimen of proper diet and reduced stress. This shows that sometimes, one good - quality embryo is all it takes.

This led to the successful fertilization of the eggs and a healthy pregnancy.
