Hi AJ -
So glad you feel good after the phone consult w/Cohen - and thank you for the long post. This is really useful information for the other Cooper girls, and for anyone in a similar boat.
I don't have any IVF experience to draw advice from, but I absolutely can relate to the thought process you're going through. It's hard to decide when enough is enough, and it's really hard to decide how much money to spend in the process. And I think I feel the way you do - if I can try a less expensive IVF or two with a doctor who understands my particular case and has experience with and faith in high FSHers, then I will do it.
There have been women on the boards who only had 1-2 follicles and got PG, so it DOES happen. And I know you probably saw the same Check research that I did - that when ladies with low AFC make it to retrieval, the pregnancy rates are the same.
And last - 600$ for b/w and ultrasound????????????? Holy cow!
Good luck, and keep me posted on what you decide! I don't have travel info, but I can certainly fill you in on all the hot spots near Cooper!
