[quote=Anonymous] [quote=Anonymous]The bloodwork is critical to IVF.  You are on serious medications and the monitoring and bloodwork help the doctors know when and where to adjust.  It also lets them know if something is going awry and when you are about to ovulate.  When you think about the money you are spending and the potential harms of ivf on your body you really do want to make sure you are following what the doctors say. You have to treat this like any serious medical regimine.  You might not feel ill but you have to remember IVF is serious stuff.  It is the last option for most people TTC.

This is coming from someone who hates needles and getting up in the morning.  [/quote]

There are a number of foreign clinics in reputable countries that do monitoring via u/s rather than b/w.  While success rates aren't quite as high, neither are costs, and women aren't dying left and right or getting seriously ill in droves.  It just isn't the equivalent of other "serious medical regimes," and it isn't inherently dangerous or irresponsible to question or push back.  While I appreciate that you hate needles and getting up in the morning (really, who doesn't  :)), I doubt either one cause you to faint repeatedly, have a panic attack, or worse.[/quote]
