Deni - I can see you asking those questions...I thought we discussed this?? hmmmm???

Scooby - its a toughie. How old are you..?? Look...the fact is, IVF does offer a higher chance of conception. With IUI, yes they are cleaning out the sperm and making sure its good and concentrated, then shooting it up the never never and hoping it spears the right eggie. With IVF, they can do ICSI if your eggs are older or sperm not great, where they take 1 little sperm and actually inject/force it into the egg to ensure fertilisation. Then later they put the dividing embie into the 'nursery' as Deni's DH calls it (and i love it). Therefore giving you higher chance. I know its expensive - believe me I know....
The way I see it is - if you're young - yeah sure go for another 2 cycles...but remember...your chances are less then then girl next door as you only have 1 tube. I hope I am not being too harsh, just trying to be honest.
The clinics do different cycles. I have done 1 long (wity synaral spray)..you start this about a month before I think. Now I do the short cycles and start my needles on day 2 of AF and start a 2nd needle on day 5 (this stops O instead of synaral). There are pros and cons with both cycles. I just paid $4530. I had ICSI (extra $600) and the orgalutran (2nd needle) $330. My clinic now incl blastie growth in all treatments (yes so they should as everytime I do a cycle its gone up again).
Wow what a mouthful...hope I havent overstayed my welcome..

Salt - thanks for your lovely wishes

Tish - you are funny...we await tomorrow with baited breath

Bel - and where are you today???
