oh, i didn't mean YOU you, just a general you. I know some people are unwilling to go to those lengths - or not even know about them - but I was just throwing it out there. I have fertility issues but I never thought I'd want to go so far as having IVF. It surprised me how quickly IFV was back on the table after the other methods have failed. I would LOVE to be able to have children 'the natural way' but we are lucky in that we can have all the unprotected sex we want without risk of an accidental pregnancy - and during a fertility treatment cycle, there are only a few days out of the cycle we have to abstain. So, with that in mind, i like to think we are still doing it the natural way, just with a little extra help. :)
Good luck with your genetics counseling. I think it is wonderful that we have that technology available to us. I hope everything turns out exactly as you want it to!
