"Watch as 3 couples share their emotional and physical journey through the IVF treatment process"

"Finally you can easily see first hand what the IVF treatment process really entails and understand the details of the IVF process so that you can make informed decisions concerning your IVF treatment!"

If you are undergoing or considering undergoing ivf treatment, it is your right - you need to be fully informed about every step of the ivf process. Pamphlets are simply not enough!

FROM: Victoria Caldwell

October 2008

Dear Mother and Father to Be

You are among the 80 million couples suffering from infertility.

Shockingly, most couples spend what amounts to being 1/3 of the median household income on assisted reproductive technology. What's even more shocking is that the majority these couples do so hardly understanding what they are receiving!

If you are committed to or considering undergoing in vitro fertilization, you are well acquainted with these challenges (to name a few):

  • Feeling as if you have lost control and this process is taking over your life.
  • Not understanding the ivf process well enough to know which questions to ask ivf experts
  • Spending weeks researching information so that you can make an informed decision.
  • Feeling exhausted from all of the emotional and physical stress
  • Feeling as if no one understands

As if this is not enough, you then have to deal with insensitivy of those around you who do not have a clue about what you are going through. Feelings of isolation result, only makes matter worse when you add the stress of:

  • Dealing with everyone’s “everything will be fine” mentality
  • Everyone thinking it's your fault for not conceiving
  • Feeling ignored because infertility clinic staff seems too busy to properly explain ivf procedures and what to expect.
  • Friend and family not understanding how this is affecting you
  • Insensitive comments

You are not alone. 15% of the reproductive population in the US alone, share your experience. There are over 8,000 people searching the Internet every single day on terms relating to infertility and IVF!

IVF is the most common form of infertility treatment and for many it is the only option.

So…if in vitro fertilization is the most common form of infertility treatment and there are so many people wanting to conceive –

Don’t you deserve to know step-by step what you are spending $15,000 for without feeling that you are being a burden?

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for the last 4 years. The series of appointments, tests, medical terms and the urgency to start treatment soon quickly left us feeling as if we had lost control of our fertility.

Sure we understood that there is no guarantee of success and we were willing to accept that. We then realized that our sense of loss was due to the fact that we were expected to start treatment with little details about the process or what to expect.

We didn't understand all of the terminology well enough to ask the appropriate questions and so we left feeling overwhelmed and confused.

We learned that we were not alone in feeling that the burden was on us to try and make sense of all of the information we had to read. There is a wealth of information to read but a serious shortage of products that allow you to visually see all aspects of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process.

That is until now!

Consider being able to:

  • Save hours of your time by gaining a wealth of information in much less time than reading a book
  • Reduce the feelings of isolation as you witness other real life couples share their IVF experiences
  • Know what questions to ask your ivf clinic staff
  • Make informed decisions because you understand the IVF process
  • Creatively educate friends and family so that they understand how to be supportive
  • Feel more in control of this seemingly out of control process

Wouldn’t it be nice to understand how the IVF process affects people just like you?

Well this video does exactly that!

Never before has there been a more powerful and visual representation of the physical and emeotional aspects of the ivf experience.

It makes sense of the often highly technical IVF explanations that you hear from your physician as it happens with other couples. It’s fresh, real, and one of a kind.

It is not only valuable information for the couples going through infertility, but also for the family and friends.

Often times couples are so desperate to have a baby that they make the committment even though they don't fully know what to expect. This leads to couples feelings as if they have lost all control in trying to conceive their own child. In addition the family and friends are unaware of what you are going through. This lack of knowledge often results in insensitive remarks only adding to the stress of infertility.

As an infertility patient, I found it nearly impossible to find videos that explained the IVF process in a way that allowed me to make an informed decision. That is until I watched this film.

This film is valuable to not only patient, but family and friends also. I have several friends that have gone through IVF and find this film to be a valuable asset. We only wish we had access to it earlier.

A REVIEW

Howard W. Jones, Jr., M.D.

It is probably safe to say that most adult couples know the term, "in vitro fertilization" (IVF) and understand that it means joining a woman's egg with a man's sperm in a laboratory dish and placing the embryo (technically a preembryo) into the woman's uterus for development. It is also safe to say that what the average couple understands stops there.

Imagine then the consternation in a couple who have come to the point where they are told that IVF is their last best chance to achieve their reproductive goal.

To be sure, the nurse and/or the doctor will describe the process, and there are pamphlets without end to read. But, in this television age, most of us benefit by and understand better if our eye can see what our ear is hearing.

This is the role of the documentary on in vitro fertilization
- TECHNOSTORKS - by Andrei Kirilenko.

This documentary highlights three couples as they deal with the emotional, financial, sociological, and medical aspects of exactly what is involved in the in vitro fertilization process.

Specifically, the viewer sees and hears exactly what is involved in the injection process designed to recruit more than the single egg of the normal menstrual period, exactly what is involved in retrieving that egg, exactly what is involved in the fertilization process in the in vitro laboratory, exactly what is involved when the preembryo is transferred into the uterus, and exactly what is involved in all of the other innumerable steps.

Lastly, we see and realize the anxieties of the interval after transfer until the pregnancy results are available.

This documentary fills a need for the couple requiring in vitro fertilization. It can be highly recommended as an accurate and informed explanation of the IVF process.

Dr. Howard W. Jones performed the first successful IVF procedure in the United States. He is Professor Emeritus of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Eastern Virginia Medical School, Professor Emeritus of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Honorary Chairman of the Board of the Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine, and a past Chairman of the American Fertility Society Ethics Committee on Reproductive Technology.

Here is what other IVF veterans had to say:

I just finished watching the film. I thought it was wonderful. I was in tears throughout most of it. I am amazed that there aren't more films like this out there -- this appears to be the only one!

Thanks for showing the emotional struggles of infertility. This is a film I would consider showing to my family to give them a better idea of what I am going through and what all of this means. The film made me feel understood, a feeling I don't get very often when it comes to this issue! I also learned quite a bit -- my husband and I have just started treatment and are doing IUI right now. We get 3 tries before IVF, which is not covered by insurance (I was very glad to see a discussion of that in the film as well!). So I now feel like if we get to that point, I am more educated going into it.

Thanks again for making this film. I deeply appreciate it.

I purchased your DVD Technostorks last month, viewed it twice, and thought about writing you numerous times since. I want to thank you for getting the word out about the process of going through IVF treatments. Unless one lives through infertility, one cannot truly understand the rollercoaster of emotions that we experience.

My husband and I have been trying to have a family for more than 10 years. The last 5 years have been spent going though 9 IUIs and 4 IVFs (one IVF comprised of 7 natural egg retrievals since I don't respond to the stims). The journey has been speckled with overwhelming sadness of our first 2 IVFs failing, the 3rd resulting in a joyful pregnancy only to be lost at 8 weeks, and the 4th IVF to be positive initially but resulting in early m/c. Our next steps are undetermined as we are financially drained (insurance covers nothing here in CA) and emotionally spent. I'm sure you can understand.

Your video gives a wonderful overview of what we go through but understandably, it would have to be hours longer to encompass the entire process. The interviews with the 3 couples exemplified what so many of us feel and the clinical aspect was superb. Takes the romance out of having a baby but it is our reality! The only thing I would've like to have seen was at least one of the shots with the long 2 needle administered by the husband! (Just to show his daily involvement in the process.)

I thank you for making this video. I cried watching it as it brought me back to a time of great anticipation and hope for a family. It is now among my library of DVDs and I will gladly loan it out to increase awareness.

I wish you much success in your endeavors, and once again -- thank you so much for Technostorks.

P.S. I send you and your wife sincere congratulations on being a success story using IVF!

I am a 39 (soon to be forty) year old female living just near Pittsburgh, PA. My husband and I are in the midst of our first IVF cycle. To be precise I go for my egg retrieval tomorrow. I watched your Technostorks DVD yesterday for the first time with a box of Kleenex at my disposal.

I must say I was impressed with the production. It addressed a lot of the technical as well as emotional issues that we as a couple face while going thru IVF.

I showed the DVD to my doctor who runs an affiliate clinic to the Jones Institute here in Pittsburgh. He was very interested in seeing the DVD too. My doctor has met with Dr. Jones whom I also saw praised this production.

After watching the video I wished that it would have featured at least one "older" couple like myself since our odds are less than younger gals. However upon reading further about the making of the film I learned that it was tough to get a few couples to agree to be filmed in the first place. I can understand their dilemma. Upon embarking on this journey things have become very emotional for me and I am finding it difficult to talk to friends let alone strangers.

I just wanted to thank you and everyone involved for taking the time to create such a documentary. It helped me get thru at least a part of this journey and cleared a few more things up for me.

I loved what the psychologist had to say about the "common thread" that so many couple with this problem share. She spoke about how so many folks try to tell us to "just relax and it will happen". I never realized why such talk irritated me but now I know. It really is a "blame the victim" approach. I do not think folks do this intentionally but none the less it really does feel like they are trying to say this is "your" fault.

Thanks again.
