I'm a bit surprised they would start straight off with IVF... as it's the most time consuming and evasive. There are other options... IVF has the highest rate of success, however, you could start with going on Clomid or injectable hormones in conjuction with IUI (intrauterine insemination) and that should give you a 10-15% chance (higher depending on age).
I was told I could do 4 round of Clomid/IUI, then 4 round with Injectables/IUI... before we would have to look into IVF.
Can't hurt to ask about your other options. But just do what feels right for you. Sometimes we have to be our own advocate!
Best of luck hun!!!
