Dear Lucy, as a midwife/neonatal nurse you saved your second baby a very short life full of pain. You are a brave and wonderful mother.
Stan is so deeply in love with Juliet. He can hardly keep his eyes off her. Its beautiful to see.
Lucy and Stephen, whom went on to receive more funding a year later, found out on what would be their late son Bradley's 7th birthday that they were pregnant and went on to have a healthy little girl they named Hope ❤️
Omg thanks for the update
ohhhh so sweet.. that's great news
Hey that's my name!
Thank u GOD for blessing them
Oh that’s wonderful!💕
Our IVF twins are now 14, long journey to the positive pregnancy test. I’m glad we have our little miracles.
Ours are 22….its an amazing journey! Congrats to you!
My heart truly goes out to these couples that struggle with losing babies like this... such a sad and horrible thing to have to go through...
Stan is the new definition of a man committed and loving his wife for sure
he should be committed to the gym so he lives long enough to be there for his family
@@yeetnama9094 Stephen not Stan.
My journey with IVF Mexico just began and I’m very happy to have them be part of my ivf journey…everything is going quite good…impatient to see my baby grow day by day!
How did everything work out
Graciela Pichardo how did it go
What clinic did you go to in Mexico? How dis everything go? 🙏🏻
These decisions are extremely difficult decisions, no one has a right to judge you.
by the age of 34, I couldn’t imagine that my luck of bearing children had drained. As such, I ended up spending more than $21,000 to get over my sterility with infertility treatments. Unfortunately, the situation could not improve. happily, *ThePregnancyFact. Com* assisted me get kids. You can learn more about the plan by just visiting the website
We are going through IVF for PGD as well. We are fertile otherwise. We’ve done two rounds and our transfer is in two weeks. We are praying for it to work 💗 my heart goes out to anyone out there struggling to have a healthy baby 💗
Solo los fértiles pueden tener hijos. Los estériles, no.
"I killed my child" No you did the most selfless thing you could. people keep severly disabled children because its what THEY want. THEY want more time, THEY want to hold it, THEY want to dress it, THEY want pictures, its all about whatTHEY want. You didnt do what you WANTED you did what was RIGHT. It would have been cruel bringing that child into the world to suffer and die all while being concious and able to feel pain and to know death is coming. Abortion was the most selfless thing you could have possibly done, I would never regret that. Ever.
sparkscouldfly 90 The disease makes the body deteriorate. That's why the baby dies, all the orgamns shut down. You can't give bad organs to a baby who is already sick..
Artoria Pendragon I think you mean selfish
People aren't doing for their own selfish needs. Watching your baby die in your arms is not about making a happy memory. For many, their moral values or faith determine what they believe about life and death. Some parents don't want their child dying via a medical procedure. They want the child to have an identity, a purpose and to experience being held, and loved by family and friends before they die; I hope that in my final moments i'm not alone but surrounded by people I love. That's not selfishness it's seeking purpose and giving a child a good death.
She absolutely signed a paper to have her child MURDERED. That's SICK.
we *ALL* die eventually-
Some die early in car accidents, house fires, some from medical conditions. How would people feel if we went around ripping every unborn child apart limb from limb who would end up dying before their parent (That's what happens during a normal suction and evacuation abortion- the most common)..
How horrifyingly SELFISH of parents to just try to prevent THEIR suffering while they watch a child be ill.. How SELFISH to try to spare THEIR GRIEF.
EVERY life deserves to live and die NATURALLY- not be VIOLENTLY KILLED mercilessly!!!!
@@agathechllt - she said the muscles deteriorate, not organs. Only some organs would be affected. Others would possibly be salvageable. The BABY DESERVED TO LIVE FOR HOWEVER LONG IT COULD. IT DESERVED TO HAVE A LIFE WHERE HE OR SHE EXPERIENCED LOVE
Argh! Why doesn't the episode continue so we can find out if they went to term and were healthy??
Maybe it still hasn't viewed on tv yet and will be posted in a week or so
Amy Woods yes they had two healthy babies - - this is an old filming you can tell from the screening approx 2005 ...so happy for this couple!! There was an article online about them.
Jess Paris that is awesome thank you! Did it mention anything about the other couple?
lucy and steven had a healthy baby girl called hope + found out on what would be their late son Bradley's 7th birthday that they were pregnant
@@rebeccan6411 am so glad for them
my heart is broken for these couples
Poor poor baby boy Bradley, my God how terrifying and sad.
All animals that have multiple births also often reabsorb embryos that die it is a way of improving the chances of the remaining embyoes
My niece Kimberly passed at 5 months old of infantile muscle atrophy. I'm sorry loves.
You would NOT want all 3 to take. The risks of miscarriage, extreme premature birth, severe disability for death for the babies; not to mention very high risk for the mother to develop life threatening pre eclampsia, or diabetes (which increases the risks of stillbirth. There are very good reasons why most countries do not allow more than 2 embryos to be transferred.
Besides not every embryo will 'take' in the first place, that's why more than one is inserted.
Wrong. Many times all do take. Just no way of knowing ahead of time.
This is what happened to me. Just to increase the chances of "take", my doctor suggested inserting 3 embryos, assuring me if at all all three take, we can opt for selective reduction. But later on, since two of my babies are sharing placenta, reduction could either be of the one with the separate placenta, or i would have to reduce two! And reducing two out of three meant chances of loosing all three fetuses would rise upto 25%, which is TOO MUCH!!. So I was left with no choice but to carry all three. And now I'm hardly 29 weeks past, and each day feels like death!! But I HAVE to bear it all, because I can't have babies way before time. I wish I just opted for two embryos to be transferred instead of three. I'm GLAD some countries have rules!
I hope all will go well for you and your babies. Your doctor really should have acted more responsibly.
Wait, since 2 of your babies share a placenta, wouldnt that make them identical? Meaning that all 3 that were inserted did not take, but instead only 2 implanted but one of them split.
I am one of them. This documentary is an eye opener. As a mother, I can travel anywhere to have a child. The dreams of being a mother is something that cannot be extinguished with no results. I have had two IVF in Bio texcom in Ukraine. The two times I had to travel from Canada to Europe. You can imagine the type of need that I was in. Parents are ready to go any extra length just to hold their babies. Being a mother is something that many women look forward to. So going to a different country outside your continent. Is something that many people have been doing. Just in search of affordable treatment with best quality services. In this documentary I have realized how far parents can go. I being a member of such people. I do agree to it.
I think 60 is to old.
joy stoodley
No it is not. You cant just put a cut off age on something complex like this.
fuzzymaiden1 Of course you can it’s far to old!
Rebecca Love I totally agree that baby may only have 20 years with that mother it’s not fair
I think 43 is too old. Lol
joy stoodley i agree! Menopause is life’s example of “too old”!!
I've watched the first 6 minutes in parts due to bawling my eyes out and it's like every time I turn it back on for a few seconds they have a devestating loss, so sorry for them ❤️😭
Wish we could see the babies born?? Such a lot of effort to get a baby
The Stampers had their healthy twins in 2005. They called them Thomas and Rosie.
sedation to get a 16cm needle thru your ovaries?! I got complete general anaesthesia!!! this is sick!!!
I would happily donate my eggs. As I'm very fortunate to have two children. But at 41 I'm probably to old!!
Clara Cooper I was thinking the same thing. I know I am too old.
I couldn't my child would be out there somewhere
Most places you have to ideally be under 25 to donate
Their son would have been the same age as me, I'm 21.
It's sad to think of that...
its really helpful to see couples travelling abroad for the sake of having a baby. i have been feeling a little nervous about our process of surrogacy at this place called biotex, but this is reassuring, and the clinic have also been so supportive to us for every step so far. i feel a alot of empathy for the couple and what they went through. it is a journey that is very familiar to me too. i hope this works out for me
STOP SPAMMING
Barbaric.. Lucy had an egg retrieval just sedated?! We may pay thousands and thousands in America..but we are under full anesthesia for gods sake.
My heart BROKE for Lucy!!!!
Science has definately a place in the world if it can prevent diseases like this,and prevent so much heartache and pain for parents and families. It can also bring so much joy in people's lives. If the technology exists it must be used by the highly skilled and intellectual scientists. People are so fortunate to have this sort of help nowadays.
In Canada IVF very expensive. I’m married 8 years plus. I can not try anymore for expenses. Maybe this year 2020 I will try to go IVF. God bless all woman who really wants a good healthier baby.
I tried out the *ThePregnancyFact. Com* when we made a decision to have one more child. Please visit to know why this formula is changing so many lives. Right after changing my dietary and following the plan for 3 months, I learned that I would become a parent. This method has changed my life style, in spite of the fact where I`m in the aged.?
We don't need you breeding here
When's the next part?
Jessica Russell yea?
66! Lord!! My body hurt at 37😂😂😂😂😂

Jeez this means shes 20 years old now
£700 pound to the donor…? That’s it?! We paid ours $12,000 in the US.
They fertilized 11 eggs, and implanted 3. That means they killed 8. Then one of the three died. They have 10 kids in heaven now, including the first little boy who was 2 months old when he died. If only people understood conception is a life, maybe they would not be so quick to fertilize so many at once.
I will do it ( IVF ) in this month 🍀🍀🍀
I followed the *ThePregnancyFact. Com* (Google it) when my spouse and I decided it was time for a baby. Simply Google to learn the reasons that has made the plan to improve numerous people. After improving my diet and adopting the plan for three months, I found out that I was going to end up being a parent. This book has improved my life, despite the fact where I am in the aged.
Any success? I hope you are a mom.
Me too
The 66 yo mom died when her baby was just a few years old. Very sad!
At least she was a mom for a few years.
I hope there was other family to take over.
I would love to see where they are today!
Cyprus is also a reliable place to go
DO ANYONE KNOW IF THE GAL HAD HER TWINS SUCCESSFULLY ?
please where is this clinic located?
Oh wow
Oh I wanted to see thee babies.
I wouldn’t put myself through this. I would be fine with just adopting so many kids that need a home.
Me too! It took me 3 years of me ttc until I got my positive pregnancy test. My daughter is now 3. I tried natural methods to boost my fertility and my husband's fertility and it worked!!!
Hate people like you. Mind your business
I guess some women just want to experience pregnancy, it's not the same as adoption.
I will never be able just to pay,and just accept a stranger's eggs,a woman from a foreign country,and a whole other nationality,whom I've never seen before,who won't even have my skin tone.
I would look into a vasectomy and sperm donation or adoption. Genetics aren’t everything.
If you want to do that knock yourself out, but for some people it is incredibly important, so stop forcing your ideals on others.
It seems GB success rates are absolutely terrible, much higher in other countries.
There should be a cut of date for this she's far too old to be raising a baby! 🤦🏻♀️
the spanish dr was highly unethical if he did not FULLY explain the RISKS of putting in 3 embryos - being pregnant with triplets is highly risky adn there is a chance she could lose ll three babies - that is why drs in most places only put in 1-2!!!
No offence and with all due respect here, but I can't understand why they couldn't stay content with one precious child, Lucy.
Kay Rai thank you 🙌🏽
because what if something happens to the one child they do have? what if a drunk driver hits her one day and she dies...then they're left with nothing but memories. Why deny the child the experience of having siblings?
Why can't anyone else who can easily have children stay content with "one precious child"? Why are people who can have kids naturally morally allowed to have as many as they want, but these parents are not?
They want a second child, a sibling for penny and they have the right to try everything that's legally allowed to have a second child. I agree with Vikifus.
Trust me. I’m an only child and wished my parents had another one
What is NHS? Here is America you gotta pay for IVF yo self! Cost me about $13,000 15 years ago....lord knows what it costs now.
National Health Service. Government-provided healthcare.
Very difficult to have IVF on the NHS because they want to depopulate the world.
Under Obama care families could try IVF twice. That ends soon though of it hasn't already.
Yes my name is really Amy Love Our insurance in the US is paying for ours.
@@Autumn_Forest_ same, my insurance is covering mine.
A young mom can bleed out at birth or have an embolism just as easily as an older on or cross the road and get hit by a bus. Some young moms lose their temper and commit infanticide. So I dont see any problems and we should not discriminate. Men can make women pregnant until they age and die. So what?
Los óvulos se acaban, el esperma no.
It hurts when I near of people aborting because there could be a disability but I can also understand but like I said it still breaks my heart my husband and I have been trying for over 13 years to have one child and would take what hod will bless us with we could afford a couple of iui rounds that we tried that didn't take my doctor wants us to do ivf but it's expensive we r not sure what our insurance will pay for. I'm so sad I've always only wanted to be a mommy we have no problem with adoption of an infant but it can be even more expensivd. To everyone else trying may your dreams come true and God bless all of you.
I have no hate against what other moms choose to do that's their life and body and decision and will pray for everyone. It doesn't make any of the moms bad or crazy it's a very heart breaking a decision for any mwoman.
I believe in miracles!!!!
May I ask where you are living kdecker and what IVF would cost you at home? Going abroad may be an option for treatment for you. It is really sad if money is the only thing stopping you trying IVF. Happy to help if I can (I tried for a decade to have a child). Big hug! xx
Their child wouldn't MAYBE have a disability. It definitely HAD a terminal disability that would cause it to suffer then die. Much better to terminate than put a baby through nothing but a short life of pain, suffering then death.
+kdecker78 There's parts of Australia where IVF is provided freely, or near freely, I think. I don't think that they cater to fertility tourists, but if it's important enough for you, moving might be an option?
This is very weird... the couple with the genetic disorder really shouldn’t be passing on their bad genes to any more kids. If they want a sibling for their kid they could adopt.
you obviously didn't watch the whole thing... the next pregnancy they ended up terminating as it had the same condition. Then next pregnancy they lost through testing the embryos to check if it was healthy. The genes causing the condition AREN'T passed on - if it has the condition it either dies aged a few months or they terminate. The babies they have that don't have the condition MIGHT be carriers for it, but they will undergo testing themselves prior to having any kids, as to woudl their prospective partners, so they wont go through the same thing.
people are so selfish, why would they bring sick children into the world just to feel content about themselves and not for the child's sake? ugh, i hate people...
TheBadEraLover89 Did you even watch the vid? They had no clue that they carried the disorder until they had the first kid. Every pregnancy after that, they did the right thing (termination, testing, IVF). I don’t think you understood the video. Their desire to avoid having a sick child was exactly the reason they’re even in the documentary.
Also keep in mind people are so desperate to pro create that whatever the condition of the child is- they will keep it.
They just had Bradley. When he died they tested their other babies/pregnancies to see if they carry the same disease that Bradley had. And with the babies that had the disease, the pregnancy was terminated. Maybe next time you should Watch the video before ya comment ☺️
@@kylishawillow9372 They shouldn't have had ANY MORE after the first one. FFS.
Adding more disease and trash into the gene pool
I've done PGD IVF and we only transferred one embryo. I think it was very irresponsible of that couple to transfer three embryos. Triplets end up being born too early with a dangerously low birth weight with breathing issues and often with heart defects and feeding issues. It sounds awful but I was glad one foetus passed away, the remaining two now had a far better chance at being born healthy. Humans aren't designed to gestate 3+ babies.
Oh shut up you nasty woman! How sick and twisted can you be to glad a foetus died! It's not your body, so how does it affect you in any way how many embroys they want to transfer?! If humans aren't designed to gestate 3+ babies then how come many women around the world have given birth to healthy triplets, quadruplets etc
None of y'all want to adopt??
I'm not against adoption but it's expensive and it's not guaranteed the mother won't back out (happened twice to my sister in law). That would be just as painful as a miscarriage. For myself my work's insurance is covering my IVF and I've only had to pay a little out of pocket for my meds. It's the more affordable option for us. Plus, I want to carry a child, breast feed them, and look upon their face and guess if they are going to look more like me or my husband. Why can't I try and have those experience many mother's have had? I might consider adoption if IVF doesn't work out, but I want to try this first. It's a personal choice that no one should have to justify.
Making new people is wrong. Non existence never hurt anyone.
At fertilization there is a NEW GENETIC code, unique human DNA that is growing- ALIVE
When couples have such difficult conceiving healthy children, why can't they just adopt? I think it's selfish to think that you can only love a child that's related to you. Basically you're saying to all the children in foster care and orphanages, "YOURE TRASH." Is this IVF really the most noble pursuit?
Respectfully, there are certain things that one really shouldn't say to any couple struggling with infertility and, "Why can't you just adopt?" is one of them! Nobody really understands the pain of infertility unless they've been there and I'm speaking from experience. The "right" solution for one couple may not necessarily be an acceptable solution for the next and to further complicate matters what one partner in a relationship is ready to consider or accept the other partner may not be ready for at that particular moment in time or ever because grief is very personal and we all respond in our own way and on our own timeline. I'm afraid there is no particular "type" when it comes to infertility, it can strike anyone, even if you are fit and healthy and do everything right. Most people assume that they'll be able to have a baby until they find out that they can't and once there is very little or no hope of having a baby that is genetically both of yours you both need to go through the process of grieving what might have been before you can begin to consider options such as adoption; nothing to do with orphans and children in foster homes being trash!!! On the part of the woman inparticular, IVF is not a pleasant experience and if you are doing it for the man you love maybe it is a pretty noble thing to do in it's own way and a real labour of love in itself.........if your mother goes through all that to have you you can be in no doubt how wanted you were!
Ah, you make a good point, and you're right. I concede. I guess my deeper concern is with the fact that society looks at adopted kids as unlovable and unworthy. That's what I want to change. Thanks for your response.
No, I agree with you. There’s a good reason why everyone can’t reproduce, it means your genes shouldn’t be passed on. Instead of going into debt to have a baby how about you adopt or foster the hundreds of thousands of children already in the system. This is borderline narcissistic.
I don't subscribe to such a harsh view. I just look at infertility as an opportunity to consider other ways to contribute to the human race, such as adopting children. That's all. I personally choose not to have biological children because my family has a history of conditions / genetic risk factors that would make life difficult for my offspring. Instead of just adding that to the gene pool, I'd rather do some good with the time I have on the planet and nurture a child that needs a family.
I respectfully disagree with you Catie. In at least 10% of cases there is no explanation for infertility and in the cases where the cause can be found it isn't always to do with egg or sperm quality. There is nothing narcissitic about needing to hold your own baby, emotions are not logical and we can't help or choose what we feel; for some nothing else will do and it doesn't make them a bad person and unless infertility has happened to you maybe you should always be mindful of the fact that if it did happen to you your objective view of things may be very quickly swept away by your emotions, i.e. that having your own biological children is not a choice that you have. And you think that adoption is easy or cheaper than IVF? Here in Spain there is a nine year waiting list to adopt a child born here. International adoption is quicker (takes about three years) but costs the equivalent of three IVF cycles (and that's the cheapest available countries)! And that's just the financial cost, don't even get me started on the home visits, meetings with psychologists, parenting classes, interpreters, solicitors, bureaucracy and the waiting, waiting and waiting. Just as financially, mentally and emotionally draining as IVF in many ways. Meanwhile, donor eggs embryo adoption are readily available here at a fraction of the cost, a fraction of the waiting time, very few questions asked and no psychologists involved unless you request support. I understand why people don't adopt................
These people shouldn't have children, they're going against Gods will !
how? i believe God wants us to give our best, and the rest that is beyond is in His hands. you can do ivf as many as you want, but only GOD decides which one can produce a baby. IVF is just means, vehicle to have babies, no more or less than having artificial hearts, or having C-section (which is not natural way of delivery). Everyone has a right to be happy. God wants us to multiply and kids are blessings.
I guess then it was also your god's will to make a baby born sick, only to suffer and die at 16 months old, completely pointlessly? What kind of god is that?
STFU "god" isn't real ok go talk to urself like a crazy person
If god created man and man created IVF what is the problem.
@@teresatv9209 Man created murder too, stupid.
