[quote=Anonymous]$22.5k - one cycle ivf. Just had egg retrieval and very few eggs.... so odds are not good and we're waiting to see if we even get a genetically normal embryo to transfer. And then to see if it sticks.... doesn't miscarry.... etc. So like I said, odds aren't good. Not sure if we'll try another cycle after this. Probably not. We have the money but the odds are so terrible and I've always been too much a realist to be a good gambler. But I should admit that having a baby has never been a consuming need for me. I'm confident that I would really love my kid and being a parent if it happens, but that I'd also be really happy without having kids too. DH on the other hand really wants kids which is why we are trying  ivf. I'm afraid of the potential issues with adoption tho I'm also not totally closed off to it - we may try that next if/when this cycle fails. I suppose being a parent requires a good degree of courage and ability to let go control anyway - I don't yet know if my fear of potential adoption issues are debilitating to that effort but that's something I'll have to consider more deeply if/when we get to that stage.
