[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I completely recommend Shared Risk, and this it's a no brainer. Yes, you could end up paying more if you're pregnant on the first try, but peace of mind really is everything when it comes to IVF. Furthermore, it's in the clinic's best interest to get you pregnant. Their money is on the line. That in and of itself really made me feel so much better about shelling out twice what we would have paid for a single cycle (we are doing ICSI and just added in PGS). For me, Shared Risk has been a life-saver. We did get pregnant on our first try but found out in our 2nd trimester that our baby had a trisomy. We chose to terminate, and were told we would still be in the Shared Risk program. It was the one sliver of good news during such a horrific period for us. [/quote]

I am so sorry for your situation.. I hope everything is now as you planned and wished.

As for OP, we are almost in the same situation as you are. We are leaning more Shared Risk and here is why
1. since it is unexplained there is no guarantee we won't have same failed result with IVF (just like in IUI), I have read here some couple went through multiple cycles with unexplained. so it give peace on your mind if it fails you still have another, and another and up to 6 cycles tries (unless clinic will decide to terminate the Share Risk) 
2. Share Risk guarantees to cover until you deliver a baby, so you are again covered if you have chemical, or miscarriage. I have heard many in my family had first as miscarriage so I don't want to risk there too.
3. We file expenses on our Taxes.

It is a difficult decision, I hope you will chose the one that fits your needs. Good luck to everyone! [/quote]
