1st IVF- need some reassurance

Amanda
I am on my 4th cycle of fertility drugs - Gonal F this time. I was originally going to do <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> but went in for my US yesterday & I'm way overstimulated- 8 mature follicles & 3 more that are close. 😁 our only choice is to cancel this cycle or convert to <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. We were set on <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>, bc we want/need this to end & by the time we keep going through failed cycles, we could have paid for <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. But now we're getting some backlash from close friends and family to not go through with <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> bc there is a greater risk of birth defects in the child & pregnancy will be a much higher risk. I really need some reassurance that were doing the right thing!! I'm 29 & this is our first TTC.
