Just to clarify

So I've had a few people ask me some questions and I'm very sorry if I haven't been more clear. But just to clear up. 1. The question of multiples keeps coming up? The deal with that is the since MA state covers everything for their people, the doctors have become less and less inclined to implant anymore embryos than one! With special circumstances, like us, visitors from another state that have to pay out of pocket, they will listen to your reasons why you think they should implant more (and look at the quality of your embryos) and go from there. My doctor is very big on not implanting more than two. So two is the max Brian and I could have implanted,,and we're hoping we get that, ie, with doctor's consent on board, and with good quality embryos. It just seems like you get a better chance of at least one taking. But the most taking and being successful, would be twins. There has been major studies done recently, that the more embryos implanted, doesn't mean success (as the theory is that the embyros are all fighting for implantation space). Most clinics these days will not implant more than four. Most clinics also don't want you have multiples, even twins scare them. The reasoning behind this, is that most multiple births are high risk (ie. bedrest, early births, prematurity which can leads to problems later in life, etc), so they do everything in their powers to make sure that doesn't happen. 2. MA covers everything - The state of MA is one of five states that covers all IVF. In fact, IVF is a $20 mere co-pay no joke! Idaho is not one of those states, and since Brian and I are Idaho-ans we have to pay out of pocket. You give them your credit card pre-IVF and they charge it up for both the surgeries and the daily visits. If they need anything else while you go through it, they charge it right up. The only upside - Brian and I better be getting some first class miles out of this for some place special!!! 3. Retrieval and Implantation - These two dates are two separate surgeries that I will undergo with light sedation. The retrieval day is the day Brian has to give his deposit as well. This day is not scheduled and will most likely be unknown to all of us, including the doctor, until a day or two before. It's all how my body will be reacting to the meds, and the most optimum time they can stick a needle up the uterus (while I'm out..thank god) and puncture the follicles around the ovary, to hopefully get great quality eggs and a good amount of them too. That's when they mix it with Brian's deposit and let them co-mingle for three days in a petri dish or test tube (aka test tube babies, back in the 70's and 80's), and then the implantation is timed out precisely in 3 days from the retrieval, at a time, the embyrologist says is good (as they are the ones that keep an eye on the co-mingling). So there are a few questions. If you have any more...please ask. Blood test tomorrow and then we'll find out a little better schedule for check ups next week.
