One more time:

IT WAS OPTIONAL. They have fully functioning reproductive systems as proven
by their previous children not conceived by IVF. It was an optional
procedure done FOR THE PURPOSE of swapping embryos. It was also a very
expensive procedure. It was obviously done for vanity as in "hey let's be
the coolest ******* couple and like swap our embryos, wouldn't that like ya
know be so cool?" If you can give me one explanation about how *swapping*
embryos between female partners is a method of overcoming infertility, I
will withdrawal my conclusion as to you IQ.

I apparently know much more about not only IVF but the subject which you
cannot seem to follow with a roadmap and a GPS.
