Saskia – Interview 41
Saskia did a lot of research online, for her own peace of mind.

 



And how did you do your research?
 
Internet. A lot of internet stuff and discussing with friends later on who I knew were having IVF. And one of them was as neurotic as me, and was doing loads and loads of internet research. So I think we both drove each other mad with too much information. But yes…
 
Did you feel that it was too much information?
 
I’m not sure we… I think we were just doing it for our own peace of mind, finding out, I don’t think it affected the decisions that were made and I think had we had no information we probably would have gone down the same routes, but for our own peace of mind we had to be sure of the decisions that the doctors were making and that we were choosing to do were the right ones.
 
But that’s done like, that’s what I’m like with everything, not just to confined to any medical things or other choices. I like a lot of information.
