Hello again and headed toward IVF

in Trouble TTC
Hi ladies-

It's been a few months, as I needed a mega break from anything IF related after my 7th IUI fail. But after taking some time to breathe and just live normally for a bit (hello, happy hour), I recently went for a second opinion and feel like I'm solidly on the path to IVF. For the first time, I've actually been able to wrap my mind around actually doing this.

My question: anyone have any experience with the Reproductive Medicine and Fertility Center in Colorado Springs? I know they have related offices in NM and some others East of the Mississippi under a different name. They offer a $4800 IVF that also includes FET if needed (meds NOT included). It almost sounds too good to be true. I have a phone consult coming up, but in the meantime, anybody out there have anything to share?


Me:
Dx, PCOS
Began TTC Mar 12 both @ age 33.
HSG and SA Dec 12: All good.

9 completed medicated cycles so far (*BFP and loss mentioned*):
Clomid 50mg, TI, BFN.
Clomid 50mg, HCG trigger, TI, BFN.
~Break~
Clomid 50mg, HCG trigger, IUI#1, BFP. M/C @ 7 weeks.
~Break~
Clomid 50mg, IUI#2, BFN
Clomid 100mg, IUI #3, BFN
Clomid 100mg, HCG trigger, IUI #4, BFN
Started Metformin
Clomid 150mg, HCG trigger, IUI #5, BFN
Clomid 150mg, HCG trigger, IUI #6, BFN
Letrozole 7.5mg, HCG trigger, IUI #7, TWW...
~Break~
