Question about shared risk programs

One new thing for this cycle is that my clinic is implementing a shared risk program through Attain. But, I don't know if this will be applicable for me since I'm already on my third DE cycle. If the money I already spent on the past 2 cycles can be applied to it, it might make sense for me to join - but what if it can't? I only plan to do one more cycle.

For anyone else who did shared risk cycles - would you have had to use all 3 cycles in order to get the 100 percent refund if it didn't work? Or would you be able to get the refund after one cycle? If so, I could join just for the money-back guarantee, even though I only plan to do one more cycle. 

I'm also asking my clinic, but just wondering what others' experiences have been.

Re: Question about shared risk programs

  • Hi, My clinic does shared risk (although not through Attain), and you have the option to choose to withdraw after 1 or more cycles (before the contracted amount) and get your money back.  On the flip side, if the clinic is not seeing success with your cycles, they can also choose to drop you (but you still would get your money back).  Definitely worth checking with your clinic - GL!
