Breaking - I'd love it if we got BFPs at around the same time! I'm pretty negative in general as well, most of the time. My husband is the positive/nice one in the relationship as well.
Mod - it is an interesting process. I'll be on meds for about two weeks, then they will do egg retrieval, fertilize the egg, and hopefully I'll get lots of embryos that fertilize and start developing. They can transfer between 3-6 days later if you do a fresh cycle. However, we will likely be doing genetic testing, which will increase my odds by 30 percent given my age. It's more money, but at my age apparently 50 percent of the eggs I release will be "abnormal" and when you are by-passing nature the odds of transferring eggs that are abnormal are high because it's not a natural selection if you will. Doing genetic testing alleviates that and increases changes of implantation and significantly decreases odds of a miscarriage. Since we will likely be doing that, we will freeze all the embryos, wait a month, get the results back, and put in the best 1 or 2 embryos in a frozen cycle. So all in all it should take about a month and a half.
My doctor said given all my issues, my chance of success with doing PGS is 80 percent, which just seems incredibly high to me. The stats are normally much lower, so I'm not sure where that stat came from. If it doesn't work the first time around though, we are paying upfront for another fresh cycle and we get unlimited frozen cycles in our package as well.
