Hope,
Sorry no one that has gone through this has responded. The few who have gone through it have probably missed your post. The user I told you about who used IVF/PGD and was happy to share her experience user name is mneville. I would suggest PMing her on here. Sometimes people miss posts but will respond to PMs.
Bill,
I wondered what your "wow" comment was about. Glad you clarified, now I understand. Just like Jenny said, they are doing the IVF/PGD to ensure their next child does NOT have CF. So if what upsets you is the fact that they are bringing another child into the world with a 50/50 chance of having CF, you should be applauding them for the lengths they are going to make sure they don't. They could do it "the old fashioned" way if they chose to take that risk, but instead they are willing to spend thousands of dollars, tons of dr's visits, stress, and poking and prodding to make sure the ultimate outcome is a child without CF. In my opinion this makes her the opposite of "selfish and cruel". This is the reason I am really hoping she finds the info she needs. Here is a link to the wikipedia page about PGD (preimplantation genetic testing) which is what she is persuing:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preimplantation_genetic_diagnosis
Now, many people are against PGD for a multitude of personal, moral, religious reasons etc. So there is potential this may still upset you. However, if what has you upset is them risking giving another child CF, then there is no reason to be upset at this mother.
Take care and good luck again Hope,
Autumn 32 w/CF
