[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will your insurance company allow that?  At 40, mine made me try IUI three times before they’d cover any IVF services.  [/quote]

This. What makes you think your insurance will cover IVF right now, especially since your tubes are clear? [/quote]

Some do.  Mine did.  Just had to be recommended by the doctor.  [/quote]

Was the diagnosis male infertility?[/quote]

OP here. My insurance covers IVF even before IUI. I recognize how lucky I am but at the same time I may not be at this job much longer so I figure why not maximize the benefit the most I can and jump straight to IVF. DH was never formally diagnosed with male factor but the morphology is the only potential issue from his side that we are aware of.

But I am hesitant to jump to IVF so soon because i’m scared we won’t be successful and that afterwards I would just be extremely discouraged from trying anymore at all. [b]I also wonder if a failed IVF will impair my fertility permanently and preclude me from a natural pregnancy in the future[/b].[/quote]

What is this thinking based on? Why would you say this? [/quote]

I might be dense but extracting multiple eggs would automatically diminish ovarian reserve and make natural conception incrementally more difficult? Also I worry about any long term side effects of the medications[/quote]
