Advice!?
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
So we had a miracle happen on Thanksgiving day, my grandparents, who I have never really spoken to in my life time, they never really had time for me, called me and had heard Shawn and I were struggling with getting pregnant and were saving for treatment, they wrote us a check for $7000 that day. I still can't believe it!
So now to make a decision, the clinic we are going to (thanks to nellygirls recommendation) offers a micro IVF which starts at $3000 less then a convential IVF. I'm not sure which one to go for, we were just informed my amh level is at .9 which although still in the normal range, definitely low for being 26. My dilemma is if we do the micro they try to only get 5 or so eggs, so we most likely wouldn't have anything to freeze, but if we do the full, with my amh levels, we still might not have anything to freeze....
I hate making decisions.... If you were me, what would you do!?
Hope everyone has a great evening!

I would definitely be consulting with a doctor there to see what to do. My AMH was similar and I did two full rounds of IVF, the first we transferred two embryos with none to freeze. The second we transferred three with none to freeze. I\'m super sad and disappointed we don\'t have any frosties but am beyond blessed with a miracle little boy in my belly now (:
You were given such an amazing gift, so happy for you!!
I agree with LH to talk to the doc there. If I remember correctly, Nelly started a micro but ended up with way more eggs than planned including frozen ones... I think. If you go the micro route, do they have a plan that if you pay a little more upfront, you get more than one cycle? Either way, with the money your Grandparents gave you (which is amazing btw!) you can do two micro cycles which is pretty awesome! Good luck!
Wonderful news about the $$$, thank goodness for generous Grandparents!! I agree with the ladies to go the micro IVF route that way you can get two and that is awesome!! So happy for you!! let us know what you decide! XOXO
YAY! How awesome of the grandparents! What a blessing!! Even though you have a low AMH, I believe you\'ve said you respond well to meds. That can make all the difference in cycles. Just a heads up, Dr. O is not a fan of the micro, and will try to talk you out of it. Maybe ask him if it\'s possible to pay for the full, attempt the full but if you get less to only be charged for a micro? If you end up with 5 or less eggs to work with, maybe they\'d be willing to work with you? I can\'t wait for you to get started!!
