    I saw that in my Facebook today. Interesting. I wonder what the cost difference is between that and IVF?

    I did not get OHSS with my fresh cycle. The doctor was concerned though that I would as I have PCOS and the amount of medication I was on, but I only had 11 eggs retrieved.

    TTC for 1.5 years with a crappy RE. 12 cycles with clomid (11 too many)
    New RE, 3 failed IUI's moving to IVF with ICSI
    IVF#1 BFP EDD 1/10/13
    Beta#1 51  Beta #2 148
    A/S 8/20/13 Team Pink
    Induced week 39 due to severe GD
    Baby girl born 1/4/13

           TTC #2 2 failed IUI's moving on to FET 3/2014
    ET 3/25 
    Beta #1 127
    Beta #2 845
    U/s 4/22 It's TWINS!!

    I imagine the cost would be cheaper than IVF just because you wouldn't be paying for all the meds.  But who knows.

    That's so interesting. Reminds me of when I first tried to describe to my mom what PCOS was and showed her the ultrasound with all those underdeveloped follicles. She freaked out and though I would release all those eggs and become Octo-mom or something! Her face was priceless.
