[quote=Anonymous]Shared Risk, no brainer.  I know of ONE couple who did Shared Risk and got the baby first cycle, and they have no regrets.

Also, when you have a package, it often includes things (like frozen transfer, ICSI, etc.) that would be a la carte on top of the single cycle price.  When your frozen transfers are included, you are more likely to go one by one, eSET, which is safer as far as a singleton pregnancy vs twin--because you don't have to pay for the next transfer if you don't succeed.

Even cancellations don't cost you extra other than time and meds under shared risk, with pay-by-cycle you will pay a fee to either cancel or convert to IUI.

You're young enough to qualify, if you fail and can't get into shared risk after that first cycle (as a PP mentioned), you will really regret not taking it when you could.

The age cutoff to start is 38, not as far off as you think, you are young enough now, so take it now.  You may want it again for the second one, and you'd still have time if you succeed quickly this time.

Again, no brainer, Shared Risk.  I don't think the odds are in your favor to succeed first try even at your age, and I think Shared Risk is only the cost of 2 cycles.  Maybe 3 but the other costs that get absorbed that I mentioned will make up for a difference.[/quote]
