Try # 5 IVF part 1

After the 4th try with injections didn't work we decided to have another consultation with the RE. After discussing the options he immediately recommended IVF provided that DP insurance will cover the procedure.

So it looks like try #5 will be IVF as long as we get improved by the insurance. We will have to take an hour long class to explain how to do the many shots that are needed to do an egg retrieval.

The process is complicated and involved but has a 47% chance of working compared to 20% or less with IUI so I guess we will see.

One of the interesting options with this kind of treatment is that we are able to freeze the extra eggs in the retrieval for a price of course. Then we can use those eggs to do additional inseminations without doing an egg retrieval, which will save some money.

So now we are debating on whether or not to implant one or two eggs at the time of insemination. The twin rate is 25% with this procedure, which is a risk but at the same time we will end of increasing our chances of pregnancy.
