Think I'll have internet service in the DRC? LOL

Why can't they wire the funds?
I made all our payees do that.
I didn't mind paying the wiring fee.
It's the cost doing business.

Sarah....Are you REALLY not testing?

hmmm Ive never really asked! I could look into that, but they will just wire late. Its hard as you dont want to piss them off so they dont want to work with you, but at the same time you want to yell PAY ME!!

And yes Im REALLY not testing. I either want to have a BFP on my bday (from my hubby finding out beta results) or nothing. I dont care, Ive given up!!

Well ladies, it looks like me doing a donor egg cycle is out, i would have to pay about 25K out of pocket for it. Soooooo i am thinking about doing the IVF with my own eggs, i got my results back from my cycle day 3 blood work, they are AMH 0.57, FSH 7.61, E2 or Estrogen 45, and LH 3.88. All my levels except for the AMH are normal, what do you ladies think, would it be worth it to try the IVF? I think those levels are not too bad considering my age lol.

wow thats a crazy price, I always wondered how much an egg was as its so much harder to donate than sperm.

I dont know anything about AMH levels....but I think its worth at least one try

please dont go, I will miss you

I read a thread in the assisted folder that you will test DH's sperm again and perhaps do IVF.... Im glad you are considering it, but hoping you dont need it.

am I reading it right, that I have a 47.8% chance? if so thats promising, I thought it was in the 30's. or am I reading it wrong as you have a sad face there

 

[Indigo77]

Yeah, I'm pretty done with this natural shit!
I know how that sounds since this is my 7th cycle, but never said I was a patient person.
The statistics suck. It's IVF (all) or nothing. I am going to give my eggs 3 cycles to get their asses in gear and they had better show up in January bright and smiling. At my age, I need to do what is most likely to get me immediate results.

 

[Indigo77]

That was taken from one of the best clinics in the US...Given the cost here and the likelihood it would be successful with 1 cycle...it's not that great...

I agree! I like your plan

have you looked at clinics in your area, do you know where you would go for ivf?

true, although I bet the rates for unexplained infertility are higher

 

[Indigo77]

3 of the top 12 clinics in the US are in my state.
I have some more research to do, but yes, I think I have narrowed in on a clinic.
There will be some travel and hotel stays involved, but I don't really care.
Dec / Jan is the best time for my DH to take some time off.
I will be making appointments here for some diagnostic testing if/when AF arrives.

thats great!
if I end up doing IVF in Jan/Feb I will also have to stay at a hotel...I need to leave 2 hours as it is to get to the clinic so in the snow forget about it.

are you testing this week?

 

[Indigo77]

Oct 1st was the plan, but no one but me has stuck to it.

 

[readyformore]

Looking at those statistics, I have a great chance of success with IVF.

Why am I doing IUI? Someone remind me at any point.

lol, well it is cheaper, so worth a try, but not too many!

 

[Indigo77]

It's cheaper....

Ready, does your infertility policy cover one round of IVF? If so, I say go for it.

 

[Indigo77]

Ditto....if that's the case...

 

[readyformore]

I get 15K lifetime.

I do have some issues that I would want to decide prior to starting.

Care to share? My DH and I have some differing opinions on IVF that could make it tough for us to come to an agreement.

It wouldn't necessarily keep me from doing it, but I would have to decide prior to going into it. . . .

1- If femara and clomid gave me cysts, the IVF injectable meds would probably make my ovary explode. Okay, that's dramatic, but it's something I have to consider.

2- What to do with leftover embryos. This is my biggest issue. There may not be any leftover, but I have to consider it.

The only option I am 100% comfortable with is to use them all ourselves until they are gone. If that means we have 10 kids, 4 sets of twins, and 5 IVFs, so be it.
My husband would destroy them.
Neither of us would embryo share with another couple.

So, that's it in a nutshell. I might not do it b/c I'm concerned about the welfare of potential embryos.
