That is the question that I have been posing to myself here lately. In regards to IVF by the way. I have been doing some reading on Natural IVF with just an HCG trigger to ovulate or going the normal/extremely expensive/no insurance coverage so I am giving both my arms and both my legs for payment route. I am of course still doing my research. I have actually found a Dr. who blogs who totally believes in Natural IVF and has had lots of success. My doctor however, does not do Natural IVF that I know of. Well, he doesnt advertise it anyway, so that pretty much leads me to believe that it's his way or you're screwed :)
So my next step is to email them and see what kind of response I get back regarding Natural IVF. I really think it could work just as well. Then you wouldn't have the risk of overstimulation and have all the embryos left over that you have to make a decision to get rid of or do whatever with. I dont know. I guess I'm just going to have to keep doing my research!
Im feeling pretty good after my wreck. I thought that I would be pretty sore yesterday, but I wasnt. The only thing that was even remotely sore was my neck. My legs and bum were sore, but that was from guard stuff on Saturday. Yeah, I actually had to teach something (dance stuff) at practice...lol. Other than that, I have felt pretty good.
So, the rental that I am driving is interesting. It's a Kia Rondo and if you dont know what that looks like click here. I dont really like the car, but it's a way to get around :) I hopefully will only have it for a week and then will have my SUV back. This car kind of reminds me of a station wagon, but a little shorter...lol.
So if anyone has any suggestions on the Natural vs. Stimulated IVF or a personal experience please send your info my way :) I am open to all opinions!! Thanks!!

No experience deciding, but have heard of someone doing more of a natural IVF and it just seems riskier in terms of going through procedures and monitoring for possibly not a lot of eggs - which in turn is not a lot of embryos. Hopefully someone else can give you feedback.

Hey - check out L&F today. I posted your question, but for some reason the link to your blog wasn't included.
"Question: Megs is looking to find out any information regarding natural vs. stimulated IVF or a personal experience with deciding between the two. You can leave her a comment on this post."

I don't have any experience with natural IVF, but it can't hurt to ask your RE his opinion.
Hi there, here from LFCA.
I have PCOS, so not sure how relevant this will be to you, but I've had 5 stimulated IVF cycles and 1 natural IVF (frozen embryo transfer). I have to say, personally prefer the stimulated cycles because the eggs can be retrieved and fertilised, ensuing in a stash of frozen embryos. Saving a bunch as FETs are a LOT cheaper for us.
Ironically, the last natural cycle, with my annoyingly unpredictable PCOS, I gots me over 20+ eggs, and post hcg-trigger, when I ovulated, I was in some kind of pelvic pain hell!
Now what a waste even if there were only 15 "viable" eggs, you know? BUT...I did fall pregnant (with assisted hatching this time, even though my embryos were ICSI'd) and m/c. Not sure if the pregnancy was random because I've had a few pregnancies.
Just my personal experience. Its something to try either way. My doctor will be doing another natural cycle frozen embryo transfer the next time.
good luck mate!!
I have no experience on the natural vs medicated IVF. But, I am glad that you are doing ok after the accident. Sounds scary!
Huh, I guess I don't know all that much about IVF since we aren't candidates for it...sorry I can't help you out there. Maybe on the Mommy Wanna Be Club page someone will know!
Glad you are ok.
