Consultation scheduled

Hi friends. Hard to believe I’m searching glow for

IVF

groups. Same way I felt searching for

IUI

groups. Never thought this journey would be so difficult, but alas, here we are.

Rounding out nearly two years ttc. PCOS and morphology male factor. I’m 30 and my husband is almost 32. 3 failed medicated cycles on Clomid (no ovulation) and 12 medicated letrozole cycles with no success. Will do last and final

IUI

early next week. (third)

But, we went ahead and made the consultation appointment with

IVF

clinic in just a couple weeks. We likely won’t even know if third and final

IUI

worked, but it’s helpful for me to look ahead at what’s next.

I have a couple questions:

- what to expect from consultation? Must ask questions?

- did y’all start the process right away? The lady on the phone said it was actually good not to wait for

IUI

results so that I could have the medicine ready to start when/if it failed. I’m sure doctor will explain more, but curious for those going through, how long is the process from consultation to the egg removal?

- any suggestions for keeping costs down?

- thoughts on testing embryos and putting 1 or 2 in?

Again, I know many are questions for doctor, but just looking for some insight and trying to educate myself on this whole process as we get to that phase.

Thank y’all! Xoxoxo
