I did not try the IVF. I was told the same thing. I instead got a TR. I had mine on 3-24-2008. This will be our first cycle trying. Like you I thought at lest I want have to pay every time we try. Oh and the PTLS has greatly inproved. Just to let you know.
There is a March 07 girl named Martica that did IVF and it failed- That was in Jan 2007 (I think) then they had TR done by Dr. Berger in March 07 and she was our first PG mommie after TR and delivered a beautiful baby boy Dec 17th 2007- Now they are thinking about Tr baby number 2
I say there is NO OTHER like Dr. Berger - Sure we all have local Doctors in our areas but do they have the experiment as DR. Berger and on top of the newsest and best ways to do a TR? Dr. Berger only does Tr's wanting a baby so bad I only wanted the best...
I had PTLS too really really bad and after my TR with each passing month I woucl feel my body as if it were coming back to life and acting normal again.. After 10 months of TTC we finally got our BFP and are due 09-11-08...
With a tr you can try every month and you have already tried IVF so I say go to Dr.Berger and get your TR done...

We just finished with an IVF cycle that failed. We went in for a TR consult but out local (well, a couple hours away) clinic convinced us to do IVF because insurance would pay for part of it and they were "almost positive" it would work the first time. This is a big and well-known reputable clinic. Anyway, even after a "perfect" cycle (according to the doctors and nurses) we still failed to conceive. Now we are rethinking TR. Yes, it would be more expensive. But it wouldn't cost us every time we try either! Plus, I am certain that I have PTLS too. DH has a low sperm count but I think a lot of that is do to being a smoker (he's now willing to quit), wearing tight undies, etc. So we're thinking that if we can raise his counts TR might be a better way to go.
Anyone else do IVF first and the TR instead of the other way around? Thoughts from you ladies on my situation?
