 IVF, IUI, Adoption, Oh my!
Gentlemen (And lurking ladies),
My wife was diagnosed in September of last year with PCOS. She stopped taking OCA's around the same time and we've been actively trying since. Her endocrinologist put her on metformin and dexamethasone and she's been peeing on sticks for a while to figure out when to try. Now her endocrinologist has said that because she also has low ovarian reserve (lucky us) he doesn't want us to try too long (like more than 6 months) without help. His recommendation is to do 2-3 rounds of clomid followed by IVF. Apparently that's a rather expensive proposition. So, the question is, what do we do? We're concerned about spending money on clomid without success (not especially wealthy people) just to go on and spend 10-20k on IVF. Opposingly, what if we spend the 10-20k on IVF wihtout success? Then, no money left for adoption (option 3). And, do the hormones associated with IVF really turn your wife into a she-devil? Any info or experiences would be appreciated.
