My girlfriend and i are wanting to get all the info we can get on all this!! I have wanted a child for so long and i think we might wait 2 more years but you never know what will happen you know... but i was wondering if we should go ahead and buy some vials and just have them stored until we are ready or if we should wait until we are closer and if anyone knows any doctors around midland, tx that are open to taking same sex couples. thank you for all your responses and i hope to hear from yall soon!!

    Just FYI, since you are thinking about waiting another two years, I thought I would share some info on age and fertility. I don't know how young or old you are, but it never hurts to have accurate information when making choices about when and how to proceed.

    Table 1. Infertility Increases With Age
    Percentage of married women who are infertile by age group.
    Percent chance
    Age Group (years) Percent Infertile
    20 - 24 7
    25 - 29 9
    30 - 34 15
    35 - 39 22
    40 - 44 29
    Adapted from Menken J, Trussell J, Larsen U. Age and infertility. Science. 1986;23:1389.
