Its been a while! I have been trying not to stress about TTC and see if it it happens on its own. Well, my natural TTC plans didn't work and now we are going to do IVF. I have our first appt on 4/23 and go from there.
I had done an IUI in the past but since Im older now, I just want to go full steam ahead.
My question is....what should I expect for IVF? What do they do that is different then IUI? I know its more technical. Can someone just give me a rundown on the steps/processes for IVF?
Sorry for any typos. ..Im mobile bumping
Re: Hi Ladies!!
Good to see you back, Calibride.....sorry that the natural route didn't bring you a BFP. You are smart to get right to the RE and go for the IVF. Happywife summed it up, for sure. Wishing you good luck at your first apt and after.....
ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
