That 1/3 isn’t the total chance to get pregnant, its PER CYCLE which is per month. Women in their late 30s have a 90% chance of getting pregnant within two years of trying. Learn some math.

I know it’s PER CYCLE, my dear. What I was saying is that IVF isn’t as perfectly successful as people seem to think it is. The results do not automatically get better after repeated cycles, particularly when you’re older.

Did you see the nice letters spelling out certain words in this picture above? You know, the ones saying, “ended up with a baby after a year of IVF treatment.” Multiple cycles does NOT guarantee a higher success rate.

You are also not calculating the side effects of what IVF does to women when you spout off statements like “90% chance of getting pregnant within two years of trying.” Not true. There are no such stats saying that. Please come at with me with an actual link instead of pretending that I can’t do math.

Also, Megs turns 37 next month. IVF success is always more difficult after 35.

Learn to deal with it.

The BRF will NEVER admit that Megho got pregnant through IVF & no way in hell will they admit if they did surrogacy.

They can’t use
surrogacy because in the UK the child(ren) would not legally belong to Megs. (http://duchessofostergotlands.tumblr.com/post/175846047225/theoretically-if-a-royal-lady-chose-to-use-a)

They’re probably not
going to adopt, so that basically leaves IVF.

I really wish people
would stop talking about IVF as if it 100% guarantees a baby. Here are some
stats from the US:

So that’s basically
a 1 in 3 chance likelihood that given Meg’s age, a baby would result from IVF.
Live birth is different from a conception rate. Conception rate is usually
higher than the live birth rate. But just because you conceive through IVF does
NOT mean you will be able to carry that fetus to term.

Here are some stats
from the UK:

Again, you’ll notice
that IVF does not even result in a baby more than half the time. The UK stats
are even lower than the ones from the US. Even regardless of the statistical
difference between the US and the UK, each facility will have it’s own success
rates measured in conception and live birth rates. But no facility has a 100%
live birth rate. That’s just unheard of.
