Can anyone walk thru IVF process? Meeting with doc tomorrow to determine if I move to IVF or iui and want to know what questions to ask. Do they always check for chromosomal abnormalities, or is that extra. Any advice appreciated. Tia (39, almost 40. One child from TI with meds & ovidrel injection 3 yrs ago. 2 failed TI w meds/ovidrel last two cycles)

IVF process is going through a period of stim injections to try and get as many eggs growing as possible - then they perform an egg retrieval and fertilize mature eggs with the sperm. Genetic testing is extra (PGT testing is what it’s referred to usually) and done on any viable blastocysts created from the fertilized eggs. Post that you go through the transfer process (easier than egg retrieval process!) - I’d have them test your AMH and partners sperm and see if IUI is a good option because it’s less invasive, cheaper and easier overall. I did 4 egg retrievals over 2 years and it was overall exhausting! Best of luck!!

AMH is 1.76 , which, I guess is good. No male factor. Doc has suggested IUI 2 rounds but due to my age everyone on here has said straight to IVF.

I had PGT-A testing done on 5 embryos and it cost $2,500 out of pocket, insurance did not cover it, even though I have had 3 prior losses due to aneuploidies. Totally worth it for me for peace of mind before frozen embryo transfer.

Finished my loop for a marketing role 2 weeks ago, and got an email the next day that they wanted to give me an offer. Had my initial call with recruiter to put the offer together. It was lower than I expected, and we ended that call positively as I needed some time to consider, and we agreed to follow up in a few days. It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?
