In Vitro Advice

[jessjo]

My wife and I want to start a family using IVF. We are both women. I will carry her egg. Has anyone else done this? What are the financial options and how did your process work?

I am looking for information on the shots, check ups, harvesting the eggs and the carrier.

Thank you!

I wanted to say Hi and welcome. I just started up on IVF myself, I don't have any specific advice for your situation. The whole process so far has been so overwhelming and I've had so many questions. Luckily my RE and their nurses have been so helpful. If you are working with an RE they should be able to help answer most of those questions. I believe most IVF plans are tailored to the specific couple and their needs.
Good luck too!

Hey jessjo ! Check out the Third Party Reproduction board: www.goodbyecb.proboards.com/board/214/third-party-reproduction-parenting  They may have some helpful tips for you!

Also, the Trouble Trying to Conceive Board has many women doing IVF who can answer a lot of your questions about meds, costs, etc.

Hi jessjo! Welcome to TCF! There is a great TTTC & Infertility IVF board that might be better for this question, as that's where a lot of the IVF ladies hang out. There's also a third party reproduction board, which might be helpful. Good luck!

Welcome! I agree with PP about checking out TTTC and the Third Party Reproduction board.
