IVF here we come!

Yes you read that right... we have decided to move onto IVF. And we're very excited! It's funny how you can change your mind about things! We never wanted to do IVF before adoption... but now things are different. :-/

We are planning on doing the shared risk plan (pray we qualify!) so we'll get 3 fresh tries and 3 FETs.... so it seems like a great option.. and if you don't have a live birth after 3 you get 70% of your money back! So we're really at peace about all of this!

I have never heard of the shared risk program... is it something in the US? or your state? I live in Canada... I haven't heard of anything like this before?

Good Luck with everything!!!

Wow, what a shock! I mean, not that you can't change your mind, but I'm surprised, given how sure you were about adoption. I hope it works out for you on the first try! I think it is really wise to not pursue something as huge as adoption (or IVF for that matter!) without being extrememly sure of your choice.
