I thought I would address your comment as a separate thread so as not to confuse the acupuncture one with more than one topic!

I started IVF last November. That one was a cancelled cycle due to oversuppression. My next one was this last March. That one failed. My biggest gripe about IVF was my clinic. They are very unconcerned with explaining what is going on.

Having gone through two cycles, I had hoped that we would do it a third time and call it quits because it is very exhausting emotionally, physically and financially. Each attempt we make costs us $14K, and our insurance doesn't cover it. But DH wants to do three more. I just don't know that I am up to that, KWIM? I posted my most recent consult with Duke over at FM/OPKs and 35+ if you want a little more of my drama!

Thanks D. I will look for your post, not that I am a Drama Queen, just hungry for any information or experiences I can soak up. The IVF board makes me kinda nervous since I don't know what they are talking about half the time. I'm having similar problems with my IVF place - or as I like to call it - The Factory (I swear it should have smoke stacks and big semi's parked outside). They were supposed to call me this week and give me the dates of when everything will be in August but didn't bother. My 3 hour "education class" isn't until late July and we are supposed to do it in August. Insurance will cover (sort of) 1 attempt, I don't know I have the gutts to go beyond that, though I did look into some Shared Risk plans where you pre-pay for 3 IVF's (you probably know all about them). It won't be with the same place, may think about going to Chicago or NY, but that will be a huge time committment. I'm thinking more that if this doesn't work, will move on to adoption. I'm starting to feel would rather spend our savings knowing for sure I could have a child then on a maybe.
