IVF Consult on thursday

in TTC after 35

Need to figure out what questions to ask. Any suggestions? So far I am only producing 2 eggs for the IUI so need to see what he thinks and if its worth it. Need questions to ask!

Even though the IUI #2 will work, right? I still need to go to the consult to get on the March IVF cycle, so have to do the consult!

    This IUI is the ONE!!!  Better to have a backup plan though, just in case :)  Good luck at your consult- hope it goes well.

    I am exploring the exact same thing in order to get prepared if we have to.  Now I can't find it, but fairly recently on the "Trouble TTC" board (and I mean in the last few days I think) someone posted a list of the kinds of things to ask about IVF that seemed very useful to me.  If you find it please repost in this thread, as that's what I was going to do if I found it (and the "search" function on thebump.com never works for me for some reason). 

    Of course these IUIs we've just had will work and we won't have to go down this road.  (And by the way if we do have to go down this road, I may well be doing March IVF with you).

    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!

    me too!!!  I'm CD1 and wanted to get going asap on IVF but they aren't around for the holidays so I'm going to do IUI #3 instead.  But...my IVF consult is Monday.  That said, this is THE IUI cycle for all of us!!  Good luck!  (would luv to see the posting you've mentioned)   -Pix

    Hang in there on the IUI results! We got pregnant the month that I had my worst response to my meds. I only produced one egg and was so pissed off. I thought that we had no chance of success and was angry that after all of the shots and pills, I only had one follie that I would've gotten naturally. The nurse doing the IUI told me that it only takes one egg, and I should've listened to her! Keep the postive vibes and thoughts going! Good luck!

    You've probably heard this, but "it only takes one"...  I did IVF, one cycle...only 1 egg was viable for transfer..as you can see below - my DS is 2 1/2 years old.  Our insurance did not cover it, so we paid $17k out of pocket - every ounce of our savings and if it didn't work we couldn't have done it again and we wouldn't have him.  So miracles happen. :-)

    The worst thing is stress, so do whatever you need to to remain positive and reduce excess stress.

     Good luck!
