Bob, you said: << I recently saw an article, or a TV report that said that ONE IN SIX pregnancies in the US is from in-vitro fertilization. >> I tend to take that figure with a little salt. It sounds hard to believe. On the other hand, the young men of today definitely have lower sperm counts then their fathers at the same age. And women are waiting longer befoe becoming pregnant. At an older age, she isn't as likely to be fruitful and he doesn't have much fruit. That may justify that figure of one in six new babies are from in vitro programs. I just find it difficult to accept.
