Op here - I'm not sure if insurance will cover this...I can check though.  Anyone with MDIPA have experience with this?

I don't believe that pregnancy 'resets' my body - the RE said I would have no trouble getting pregnant...spouse getting me pregnant is a different story.

I think, honestly, we would be happy with 1 or two - I don't like the idea of spending all that money on #2 when we know #1 will need it (college among other things).

[b]If I'm OK with 1, should we just forego IVF and see what happens? [/b]
I can't go the RE yet - I'm not physically ready (I need to lose weight) and we don't have the money right now to pay for a cycle even if we were ready physically!

This is all just in my head as I watch my guy grow - I think we would be happy with 1 or 2, I just don't want to get caught up in a financial downward spiral for #2 at the expense of #1, if that makes sense.

I know we are SO lucky it worked the first time (IVF w/ ICSI) and I was on basically the lowest dose of possible drugs.  But still, seeing my guy not be a tiny newborn is sad![/quote]

OP, I think the fact that you are posting these questions at all probably meand you're not yet truly ok with just 1.  You might get there, but you're not there now.  But as many people have said to you, I think living in the "see what happens" camp is not a great option.  Figure out if you want the second kid, figure out your financial situation and how much you can realistically spend on IVF again and not affect your #1 or the rest of your life, and then if after all that you want to do IVF, get cracking and have a plan and do it.

I think if you drift along and "see what happens", you may possibly regret it later.  [/quote]
