Finally A Plan!

We met with Dr. Corfman and he agreed after looking over our charts that Invitro with ICSI was the best way to go! Dr. Corfman only does Invitro in MN the months of March, May and September. (He has other clinics around the country that he travels to the other months.) After talking with Brian and Dr. Corfman we decided that May would be our month. No particular reason why, our guts just went with May. And as you all should know by now, I trust my gut! He informed us that we would have to take an injection class because there are going to be a lot of medications that I will be taking the month of May and most of them are injections. We went over the costs and different plans that we could do. One plan, the VIP plan, was guaranteed 3 tries or you get 90% of your money back. You have to qualify for that, which Dr. Corfman didn't think that, that was the best route for us. So we went with the regular plan. One shot to get it right! Dr. Corfman warned us that there is an 80% chance that this will be successful and out of the 80% there is a 60% for twins and a 10% chance for triplets. (triplets could only happen if one of the implanted eggs split) We decided that we would harvest the eggs and sperm that we didn't use this round in case we wanted to use them further down the road. In which case we wouldn't have to go through all the medications again. *Invitro with ICSI is when they take Brian's sperm, wash them, and pick out the best ones. Retrieve my egg(s) drill a hole in them, chop the tail off of Brian's sperm, put it into my egg(s) and incubate them for 24 hours then re-implant them in me the next day.
