I consulted with Dr.Silverberg before trying for baby number four. I was given reassurance that with ivf and pgs testing I would get a positive outcome of 4-5 healthy pgs tested embryos. The purpose was not to have excess embryos but to prevent a heart break of first trimester loss and have one healthy child.
During my two weeks of ultrasounds, I was seen by different physicians from the group. This brought some concern about the type of care I was receiving, I requested to make a physician switch several times. Due to my nurse not following through the request was never communicated to both physicians.
Over confidence in my outcome should have been a big red flag. I should have run the other way. After egg retrieval, with over 80% immature eggs, I was left with zero embryos to pgs test.
If you are willing to dedicate time, side effects from medications, financial obligations over 20k, emotional roller coaster from all the uncertainty, this may be an option. Trying on your own and being disappointed by not getting pregnant that month or miscarrying only causes emotional grief. Save yourself from this ivf gamble, its very infuriating to say to the least.
