Yes, unless you are also doing PGS testing.

That's correct. My IVF included ICSI which was good as well. No genetic testing is included, or at least was included 3 years ago when I did IVF at SGF.

I paid $1800 per IUI. Initial cost of meds was about $180 and after that about $85. This is paying out of pocket.

Do the single cycle or two cycle fees include using all the embryos that are created? Or is it just a single transfer? Thanks

Single transfer.

What are the shared risk program requirements? AMH Cutoff? BMI? Anything else?

Age cutoff is 39, according to their website.

It is, but my doctor said that with approval you can do shared risk if you are past 39. I believe you have to start within a certain time frame of turning 39 though.

Question for you - did your SG Dr. push PGS? I know it's a hot topic these days and based on what I have read it's all subjective as to who is analyzing the embryos. So I am not sure if it's is really worth the extra $5K. Curious what your SG doctor said about PGS.

As you get older, the greater chance your embryos will have a chromosomal abnormality. So someone in their 20s is at a lower risk vs someone in their late 30s/40s. I was 38 and PGS tested my embryos and found more than half were abnormal. When you're spending all this money I didn't want to risk getting pregnant and possibly terminate due to significant abnormalities.

I am not sure that's accurate. If there is a missing chromosome, there is a missing chromosome. Nothing subjective about that.
