Ouch the thought of paying $5,000 hurts! But not near as bad as $10,000. Part of me thinks I should stay here locally in Alabama b/c my dr. charges between 6-9 for IVF. But i sure hope his ivf success is better than his iui success rates b/c we've done 3 iui's in 4 months with him with no luck. I think it's worth a shot. Now, all i have to do is work on my dh... yea right
Check into Eco IVF as well. They are in NY also and their regular cycles look very reasonable :)
Local you are not put under, you are completely numb in the area need be, General is where you actually go under. So I think local is the best choice when possible!
:-) Yea, i did the lowest possible dose of follistim for only 4 days and had 6 mature eggs. LOL Cancelled that IUI cycle.
Keisha, since you are a nurse, tell me about local aneshesia. Does that completely numb you? That is what's scary to me.
Yea the cost is like $4500 or maybe less. I can't remember.
Sounds more affordable as well! I say with the way your body produces them little eggies you would be a good canidate!
I meant to write better quality/more natural eggs above.
I think the success rate is like 35-40% singleton pregnancies, as opposed to conventional IVF having success rates of 50-65% and a higher chance of multiples.
