[quote=Anonymous]OP here, again.  We have talked to our doctor about what to do.  And he recommended doing ICSI on 8 eggs and freezing any others.  We considered it, but freezing eggs adds $2,600 to the price, plus the additional $2,000 for ICSI.  And, since we are going to do the Shared Risk program at Shady Grove, we would be considered a "special case" that would have to be presented to the review board.  So we have decided not to do that.

As for alternatives to traditional IVF, like natural cycle or mini-IVF, I'm not too enthralled with them. I dislike the idea of having to go through the egg harvesting process more than necessary, since it comes with its own set of risks (associated with any serious procedure that requires sedation). And since their success rates are lower, chances are good that I would be subject to multiple egg harvests.

There's seems to be no good answer here.  I think we're just going to assume that we'll be like most other couples and have only a few embryos to freeze. And if we're wrong, we'll face that when we get there.[/quote]
