I'm starting my IVF cycle soon, so I got lots to learn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-ivf-packages#post-1550630 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 11:12:51 +0000 Cait1 1550630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: Meds aren't included but ultrasounds/monitoring are so I think we might pursue it! I agree, seems to be a pretty good deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-ivf-packages#post-1550522 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 10:43:26 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1550522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cait1: That's a pretty good deal! I'm sure that doesn't include meds, definitely see exactly what it does include i.e. all ultrasounds, embryology, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-ivf-packages#post-1549629 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 20:08:19 +0000 swedishfish 1549629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cait1: I would ask the clinic if the $6500 includes frozen embryo storage. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-ivf-packages#post-1549618 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 20:02:40 +0000 Cait1 1549618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: @spaniellove: Thanks for clarifying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-ivf-packages#post-1549613 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 20:01:07 +0000 spaniellove 1549613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That basically means you 1) go through the whole medicated process once and do a transfer right away, and then if you have frozen embryos you can do a frozen transfer. Or 2) you go through the whole process and freeze everything for later. Then they'll allow you to transfer embryos twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-ivf-packages#post-1549612 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 20:00:37 +0000 swedishfish 1549612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, it's one cycle of IVF with two possible transfers. If you transfer an embryo a few days after egg retrieval it is a fresh transfer. If you have any embryos left to freeze and transfer them later on it's called a frozen transfer.</p> <p>ETA - sometimes you can't do a fresh transfer because of OHSS so the embryos must be frozen. Therefore they're offering the chance of two frozen transfers if a fresh transfer isn't an option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confused-about-ivf-packages#post-1549607 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 19:58:16 +0000 Cait1 1549607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi, my DH and I have just started researching IVF. A clinic in my area offers the following package:</p> <p>"Package 1. $6500- includes one fresh IVF cycle and up to 2 transfers (one fresh transfer and one frozen transfer, or 2 frozen transfers)"</p> <p>I'm an IVF newbie, could someone translate for me? Does that mean 3 cycles? Thanks! :happy: </p>
