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.
