IVF is scheduled for July!

so everything went really well with the RE this morning. I asked him a million questions and we discussed how we're going to move forward with IVF.

One thing I was surprised about was that he said he would only put one embryo back in at my transfer. He was very confident that since Ben's sperm is the issue that once we do the ICSI (this is where they actually inject the sperm into the egg instead of just letting them do their own thing) I won't have any issues and i'll get pregnant. I talked to him more about this and the nurse and she told me after he left that if I really wanted him to put two in he probably would. Ben and I will really have to think about this.

His office only does 5 day transfers and he said their live birth rate is 80%.

They apparently do IVF in batches in their office and they just started a cycle so we can't start until the beginning of July which sucks but at least we're scheduled to start.

oh and their pricing went up but since they had already given me pricing they're honoring that. I will pay for 1 live transfer and freezing any other embryo's and if the first cycle doesn't work than all other cycles until my frozen embryo's are gone are covered in that initial payment the only thing I would have to pay for again are the meds, and the cost of those is very minimal.

so I'm hopeful and excited! if one can say they're excited about having IF and having to go through IVF.
