we've talked about it a fair bit, and decided to have a big gap to give nature a chance before we go back, if we even will. we probably would have started mid to late next year but i doubt that we will now. if we start to seriously consider it again, we'll be finding out the breakdown of costs first - and may try IUI again - might even see if we can find something like letrazole and see if it works for me where clomid didn't. full ivf will be, for us, too exxy if i want to only work part time rather than full time
It means that we will simply use what frozen embryos we have and then that's it. But that's the position my health places us in anyway - no more stim cycles for me. Not with Sam to care for now.
I know a lot of people are jumping in to go earlier than intended so they can still take advantage of the full rebates, and I have to admit that it is somewhat tempting, but once again, my health makes that impossible.
I just worry that we'll find ourselves in the situation where we just can't afford to use the frozen embryos we have.
Yes sadly will make a difference for us, we always wanted 3 kids but I don't think we will do IVF again we will probably just try acupunture and chinese herbs and see how it goes.
Unfortunately it will make a difference for us too. We've been trying for 2yrs for # 2, done 3 x OI, 1 x IUI and have appt next week to move onto IVF. I'm absolutely kicking myself that we didn't do IVF sooner. We'll try with IVF for the remainder of this year but then we'll have to stop.
Originally I was going to do 3 cycles then have a break etc... but that's not an option now. Seems now we're faced with a 'now or never' situation and it bloody sucks!
Sorry for the rant, been a long day and this really bugs me!!!!
It could certainly make a huge difference to us. We have only gotten a total of 3 frozen embryos out of 3 fresh cycles (2, 0, and then 1), so for us it will make a huge difference as we keep needing to do fresh cycles.
Hopefully it won't be as bad as previously indicated. Check out the article in The Australian today (there's a link in this post: http://forums.bellybelly.com.au/foru...ml#post1957362). But we'll have to wait and see when the details are made public... I've never been so eager to read the Hansard transcripts from the Senate!!
Yes it will make a difference for us, as it will everyone Im guessing in some way.
We didnt get any emby's frozen our first IVF July/Aug and so its the whole thing again. I would like to get one more IVF in - perhaps October/November but we are really struggling financially now so we might not even get to do one.
If we can't afford IVF next year - perhaps we will give IUI another try.
It will make life a bit tighter around home, but we don't have any other options as DH had a vasectomy with his XP. We are going to ask about a reversal, but I don't know when too long is too long for it to work.
I'll just have to re think what I spend money on & stop being so material.
