BM/Formula

I'm not big on the idea of BFing exclusively since we'd like to do another embryo transfer when Baby G is about 6 months old, so I would like to use a mixture of BM and formula so we can slowly change to formula exclusively around 3 months.  Please recommend your formula brand.  Should I start with a sensitive?  Thanks!
March 2011: Off Nuva, cycle back to "normal" for me: No periods since 15 years old. June 2011:Provera&50 mg Clomid; Progesterone:0.7 July 2011:Provera&100mg Clomid; Progesterone:3.29 Met with RE:No Clomid response, begin injectables Sep 5 mg Letrozole and Ovidrel in the interim month. Cut out running (was a distance-runner), cycling, eliptical. Restricted to weight-training, walking, pilates. Brain MRI normal. Being physically over-stressed is the reason the body stopped producing prog. Late Sep 2011: Menopur, Ovidrel,& IUI (10.10.11):BFN-Great injectable response: 2 mature, 6 near mature, many smaller; Problem: 9 cysts! Dr: IUI too uncontrolled for number of viable eggs & age. On to IVF! IVF ER 12.6: 37 mature eggs, 27 fertilized, froze all to avoid overstimulation; FET 1.22 (2 Grade 1)=BFN; FET 2.22 (3 Grade 2)=BFP! Beta 10dp3dt=291; 12dp3dt=644; HB 3.26!! 174 bpm: Vanishing twin almost completely absorbed 10wks Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

    Legally, all formula is equally nutritious. I would start with a generic brand (like Target or Costco) because of price and go from there. I would also encourage you to breastfeed exclusively for the first 2-4 weeks because of the massive benefits of being EBF - it's really beneficial in those early days for immune function, allergy avoidance, lower incidence of intestinal infections. It also lays down a full supply for you so that all your options are open.
