[quote=Anonymous]We are doing shared risk through Shady Grove, and I agree with many PPs here - if you think it's going to take more than one cycle (and it typically does) then it's worth it. Also, consider even if you DO get pregnant and give birth to a live baby after only one try, there's a good chance that you'll end up with extra embryos for more babies later (if that's what you want).

Another option is to consider "mini" IVF. Fewer drugs, usually a bit less expensive. My wife did a clinical trial out of NYC that studied mini vs traditional IVF. We randomly drew the mini arm for the study and ended up with one embryo....but that embryo is now our happy and healthy 2 year old boy. The name of that clinic is New Hope Fertility, in case you wanted to discuss this with them (doing mini, not the trial [which has since concluded]). We have kept up with many women who did the trial with us, and nearly all who did mini had a successful pregnancy.

Also note that SG shared risk allows you to try up to 6 times without disqualifying you AND the contract stipulates you must give birth to a live baby.
