[quote=Anonymous]I did the Shared Risk program in 2009 after three failed IUIs. I borrowed $25,000 to cover the IVF + ICSI shared risk program, and to have a few thousand $ left over for medication. In the end, I "lost" money. I got a BFP on the first cycle, but had a miscarriage. As the PP said, they require you to transfer all frozen blasts before moving onto another fresh cycle, so my 2nd cycle was a FET with the single blast that I had left -- and it worked! If I'd paid a la carte, it would have cost me about $17,000 for the fresh cycle with ICSI, freezing, and FET instead of $22,000 for the Shared Risk. I technically lost $5K on the deal. That said, it was STILL entirely worth it to me. The miscarriage was stressful, but would have been more stressful if it was costing me over $10,000. Going into the FET with only a single blast to transfer, I still wasn't overly stressed because the FET cycle is relatively easy, and I knew that I'd just go into another fresh cycle right away if it failed. So I think it was worth it. If you get a lot of eggs at the first retrieval, though, it might not be worth it because you could afford to do a FET or two before it would add up to the Shared Risk costs. It's a tough decision to make, and depends a lot on your diagnosis and issues.[/quote]
