It has been two years that I am trying to get pregnant. Done many tests. Doctors say I am ok. Now I am thinking about test tube baby. I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Please advise where can I go for it.

Where Can I Get a Test Tube Baby?
Question
Answer
Last Updated: June 3, 2014
I am not familiar with where to go in Minnesota to obtain a test tube baby, because our organization focuses our efforts on 1) serving California and 2) helping couples conceive a child the way all couples prefer to!
You are not “ok” if you have not conceived a child after two years of trying. I would very much like to see you contact a physician like the ones on our website who would be able to help you diagnose, evaluate, and treat your health problem. I am not familiar with the area, but do know of a Doctor Michael Cady in Aikin, and a Dr. David Power in St. Paul. No doubt you can find their contact information in the phone book, and even if they are not near you, I think they could refer you to a doctor who is near you.
I know you will be tempted to dismiss this advice, since you have seen a doctor. But there is a new science called NaProTechnology which has helped many people who were told “test tube babies” were their only hope. I strongly urge you to explore this further before proceeding down the path you are following.
