Thought I would come out of the lurker world and into.

I have long history (just like everyone, I?m sure).  More Clomid cycles than I care to remember (6/2009-10/2010), 2 cancelled IVF cycles due to poor response (1/2011-4/2011).  Then moved on to DIA only to sit and wait and wait and wait (6/2011-8/2012)?  Licensed for Foster / Adopt (9/2012), one placement  that reunified after 8 weeks. 

So, we decided that it?s now or never, we?re going to give DE IVF a shot!  We are currently researching clinics and costs.  It is so overwhelming.  I?m hopeful that we can pursue a shared risk program starting this summer.

In the meantime, I?m working on shedding about 40 lbs and kicking my diet soda habit (so I?m one grouchy chick right now).  Hoping to lean a lot from you ladies!

    Let me be the first to welcome you to the board.

    I'm kicking the coffee/tea habit (we have FET on Thursday) and I'm bloody exhausted.  But it's all for the good.

    Hi! 

    Welcome to the board. I too have a long history which includes waiting for DIA for over a year. We made the decision to pull our profile after only being shown once to expectant parents and started exploring DE IVF. It's been a little strange to transition fom adoption to hoping to become pg. We are getting ready for our donors retrieval on Friday :)

    I hear you on the overwhelmed feeling. We just take it one step at a time. We are also in a shared risk program, which I feel more comfortable about.  

    Oh, and I recently gave up coffee. It sucks!!!  

    Good luck in your researching!! Hope you are able to find a clinic you are comfortable with!!

    Thanks for the warm welcome!

    I spoke with someone from Shady Grove yesterday and liked the idea of the shared risk program (as much as I can "like" forking over that kind of cash).

    Question for those in Shared Risk, 6 cycles seems like a lot, has anyone ever gone that many cycles and failed?

     

    Also, any other programs you can recommend?
