IVF Questions
Well, I was hoping for a Christmas miracle, but AF just arrived. I was on my last injects/IUI cycle before moving to IVF. I am trying to look towards the future instead of feeling sad during the holidays. I scheduled an appointment with my RE for the middle of January to discuss the next steps. I'm wondering what questions to ask during my appointment. I'm planning to ask about the percent of live births in my age group with my diagnosis, and how many embryos will she plan to transfer. I feel like there a million more questions to ask, but I'm at a loss. I'd really like to have a list put together for the appointment so I don't miss anything. Any insight from you ladies is much appreciated.

Re: IVF Questions
"I DO NOT love that you think so many things revolve around you. I know you're bitter. I get it. But I'm over your feelings." The best person on the internet ever!
I don't have anything to add, except that I'm sorry AF had to come at all, especially NOW. Big ((hugs)).

No pro (for you) and the only con is probably just having to wait longer to start than you would otherwise.
