Infertility

IVF consult tomorrow....

I know everyone and their brother asks for questions to ask their RE... but I am jumping on the bandwagon now too. So far I am going to ask about putting me on a low-dose steroid, what his opinion is on 1 embryo vs 2 embryos, should we consider doing ICSI even though we don't have any (known) sperm issues, how much does embryo freezing cost, and what testing I will need before we start and how soon can we start the testing.

Did I forget anything? Any words of wisdom?

I think my biggest fear right now is that we will go in for ER and he won't be able to get anything because I am still too fat.

Re: IVF consult tomorrow....

  • I asked what protocol I'd be on and why.

    Who makes the call for a 3dt versus a 5dt transfer and what are the requirements to push back to a 5dt. 

    How many they'd recommend we transfer. 

    What the requirements are for an embryo to be frozen and what % of IVFs end up with frozen embies. 

    How many eggs they hope to get at the ER. 

    GL!

  • Good luck sweetie!

    I think most of the questions I asked are listed in your post of Madelyn's.  The only other's I can think of are:

    What are the requirements for trigger?

    Who will perform ER, ET (my RE or any of the REs in the practice)?

    Thanks! Yup I am sticking with York. I did a consult with Hershey but it just confirmed for me that I really don't like the RE there, and I need to feel comfortable to with whoever is treating me.
