Hi all -- so tomorrow morning is my CD 10 u/s with my actual RE.  Since I don't know that he'll be the one doing my IUIs in another day or two or three after that, I want to bring up IVF with him while DH and I are there together.  My plan is simply to say that after this IUI and the next in January (if neither works, that is), we are thinking we should begin the IVF process in February, and what do we do to start thinking now about everything it involves so that we're prepared and not trying to learn about everything fast and all at once?  I know there's probably a separate consult appointment, etc., but I'm hoping they've got written materials I can look at already.  Just wondering if there are any particular questions people who have done IVF think I should ask at this point--remember, we have 2 IUIs yet to go, so it's really a question about learning what I'll want to be asking now so I can ask better questions/be more knowledgeable later, if that makes sense.  Also, if there are any informative IVF websites that aren't linked to specific clinics that people know about, that would be helpful too.
me - 41 (dx: DOR); DH - 53 (no problems); 7/18/09 - married!; 8/4/09 - BFP on first (real)try; 9/14/09 - missed m/c; 9/15/09 - d&c; 11/09 - 3/10 - 4 natural cycles = BFN; 4/10 - dx hyperthyroidism caused by Graves' disease; 6/10 - thyroidectomy; 7/10 - 12/10 - 1 natural and 5 medicated IUI cycles = BFN; 1/11 - new RE; dx low ovarian reserve (AMH .42; 1/26/11 -- BFP (ectopic) from IUI #6; methotrexate 2/10/11; 6/2/11 - IVF #1 = BFN; 9/12/11 - prescreening for DE; 9/15/11 - IUI #7 (unmedicated)= BFN; 11/8 - begin DE cycle (shared risk program); 12/5 - ER (5 eggs/4 mature/3 fertilized/2 left by day 5) 12/10 - ET of one 1BB blast (expanded, "fair" quality), none to freeze; 12/22 - totally shocked by +hpt; beta #1 = 413; #2 = 3952 2/14 - CVS reveals a healthy baby girl! EDD: 8/27/12 DD born 8/31/12, 10 lbs 10 oz and perfect in every way.
