I wish you all the best in making your decision. It's a hard one and one that not many people will understand. I think you really need to see a counselor. My DH and I have differing views (as does my mother - but no one even asked for her opinion!). I am going to wait for a few years before we decide, I think the $100 per 6 months is just another bill that needs paying and it means i don't have to address the decision until i'm ready.
I can only offer you a big hug and I'm sure whatever you do will be the best for you and your whole family.
I think that is the toughest decision that us "IVF-ers" have to make.
We often think about our 7 frozen embies and although we've only just had our little girl, we're not 100% sure at the moment we want any more babies. Maybe that'll change, maybe it won't, but we still have those frozen embryos to decide what to do with.
Thanks for all the fantastic advice! after much thought and a phone dissucion with a counsellor we have decided to give it a go! So we will wait till the end of this year and I will get my IUD taken out then take it from there. any idea if my doc will suggest a normal transfer at time of cycle or drugs?
As for your question about transfers.... it all depends on if you cycle normally or not. If you have a normal cycle (ie: ovulate by yourself) then you will probably have a non medicated cycle and have the FET done as the perfect time of your cycle. If you are like me and don't have a regular cycle then you will probably either have a "fake" natural cycle (ie: use clomid to get you to ovulate) or a HRT cycle (when you have a fully medicated cycle). When you are getting closer to the time the best thing to do is make an appt with your FS to discuss the best option for you.
One other thing... I don't know what state you are in but if you are in Vic then the law has changed regarding IVF and you now need police checks etc done. I had to get all this done before the clinic could proceed with any further procedures. Luckily for us everything is all back and fine for our FET in the next couple of weeks.
Yep, in Vic you need Police Checks and also Dept of Community Services Checks to make sure you have no police record for anything to do with children and the Community Services check is to make sure that you have never had any child/ren removed from your care.
It caused a huge uproar as it only applies to couples undergoing IVF etc.

wow in one way they are doing the right thing but on the other we go through enough without asking if we are child abusers! Maybe they should also do it for every ovulating women and every fertile man!
