If you have done the puregon injections you have less mental hurdles to cross. I did those injections for a few months before moving onto IVF. The drug protocol that I had I just had to add the nasal spray, BC pill and I was already familiar with the trigger injection.
Egg retrieval was under sedation and was very quick.
I found the transfer much simpler and less painful than the pap smear.
If you get left over embryo's they store them for later use and subsequent cycles cost less. The most expensive cycle is the stimulation one.
In terms of chances of success, it's probably best to discuss it with your doctor as people's circumstances are different. I was told I had about a 20% chance per cycle and she would be surprised if I didn't get pregnant within 6 months. I was extremely lucky and fell on my first cycle.
I also saw a naturopath and acupuncturist for awhile before I did IVF and that may have helped me fall quickly with IVF. I guess I will never really know.
