Sucess Rates

The doctor called J this morning to actually talk him out of purchasing the 3 cycles at one time. At first I was a bit skeptical. The doctor - calling to talk somebody out of saving money. Is this for real?

But in the long haul, if we do the discount and we get pregnant in cycle 1 or 2, we would lose $1k. If we pay per cycle and we do all 3 cycles without getting pregnant, THEN we lose $1k. Probably confusing to anybody who hasn't talked to their billing department, so I apologize. But (after J explained it to me three times), it actually makes sense.

The reason the doctor called? Their NC-IVF program is only about a year old (maybe a year and a half). People are apparently taking to it and signing up left and right before they try conventional IVF. Patient friendly, less expensive, no recovery...who wouldn't?

The clinic was offering this discounted program because at first they were having a hard time retrieving eggs. During NCIVF you're not on drugs that manipulate stimulation / ovulation. Well they are apparently nailing down some pretty impressive procedures for egg harvesting:

They now have a 90% success rates in harvesting. Hence the doctor's call: Don't blow your money, we've got this shit down.

Damn right bitches...bring it on........
