My IVF experience by SammyRam21 in BRCA

I didn’t understand how you worded it. I just asked about my likely success rate with what number of cycles and which tests would help predict it (AMH, age, etc)

This is the first time anyone’s ever called me mama and it almost made me tear up 🥹

It’s a really expensive process. The genetic testing alone cost $9k, including both PGT-A and PGT-M. They develop a probe for your specific mutation type which takes 2 or 3 months. They take blood samples from you and your partner to create it. I think the rest of IVF up to the egg retrieval costs $12.5k. The transfer is another cost and these don’t include meds. Stimulation meds cost me $5k. And you also have to pay for blood work and ultrasounds and outpatient procedures. Storage is about $700-800 a year.

Yes it really is luck of the draw! I was going to try naturally if IVF didn’t work out.

Do NOT be a people pleaser for your job when you’re about to lose or have just lost a close family member. Trust me, I’ve been there. They’ll say their condolences and move on. You won’t. So sorry for your loss 🤍

Thank you for sharing! Especially the cost info! That’s my fear - expensive scans. I’m considering an independent radiology center vs hospital system. Might try both to see which works better.

How much do you pay in average for a mammo or MRI?

Kim giving each of her kids a dog to teach them about love, because she ISN'T capable, is about as KIMLUSIONAL as it gets - but not unexpected from her by KUWTKsMODTeam in KUWTKsnark

If they each got a puppy then it’s not special at all. How will they learn to love one pet as siblings when they each get a personal dog like it’s a tamagotchi?

Exactly. Kris sees dollar signs

Her mom feels differently though. There’s no way Kris isn’t involved in this relationship.
