[quote=Anonymous]Wanted to take a poll here since everyone seems to have a wealth of information and experience. We're on a "break" before starting IVF with Shady Grove in Jan. 2013, and trying to plan ahead financially since we're entirely self-pay. I am 33 (34 next April), DH is 39; TTC for a year with three failed IUIs; and we've been classified as unexplained (super helpful label, btw) since all our tests look fine. Great numbers with IUI, regular ovulation, all that.

My question is: Should we go whole hog with the 6 cycle shared risk plan (potentially $20-$23K plus meds), or just do the 2 fresh/unlimited FET multi-cycle plan ($16K-$21K plus meds)? My RE feels we have a good shot for first or second cycle success because of my age and "normal" tests/hormone levels. But I've also read numerous posts on here from women who felt much less anxious doing shared risk, or had unseen problems that led to needing additional cycles. If we budgeted and scrimped (and delayed buying major purchases for oh, another five years) we could make shared risk work, but is it excessive? More cost-effective to do the multi-cycle given the circumstances?

Thanks in advance your poll vote (and advice, of course)! [/quote]
