Hi all, Dh and I are looking into doing natural cycle ivf or mini ivf maybe with clomid, we simply can't afford conventional ivf and as things stand right now IVF is our only option at bio children. So I'd love to hear some success stories and personal experience with these methods, if you ladies wouldn't mind sharing. Thanks
TTC since March of 2012
Me: 27 Dh: 35
Testing Begins 3/5/13
Six SA's show DH has low numbers across the board = severe MFI Genetic testing for me = MTHFR+, also carrier for blood clotting disorder Otherwise all else normal Dh's karotype= Normal!!
I was checking here since most of the ladies on the IF board haven't had sucess as of yet. As far as cost goes... we're only getting one try at this regardless because of finances. We can't afford even one try of conventional ivf at 17k. It would take us another year maybe two to save that up. I know that the chances are significantly reduced with mini/nc ivf versus regular but it's really our only option.
