The RE said if we did IUI with injectables, we had a 13-16% chance of getting pg. IVF increases our chances to as much as 60%. With insurance coverage either way, it was kind of a no-brainer.
We have so much to do. When I get AF in a week and a half or so, I have to start BCP, schedule b/w and u/s, meet with the IVF coordinator, and take an injections class. In the meantime, there's an IVF class that we're supposed to take online.
Yay! Good luck. Also a hint, there are some awesome injection advice/example videos on youtube of real life people doing them with real life tricks that some of the official videos don't cover, they may be worth checking out (most are less then 4 minutes).
Good luck!!!! Hopefully you get lots of eggs at retrieval and avoid OHSS. That shit sucks majorly, I got a mild case of it. Also T&P to lots of embryos making it to blast <3 <3

I wish you so much luck! That is great that it is covered by your insurance.
Is the injections class required? We never had to take one but our fertility pharmacy had helpful videos. Also, we had the nurses circle the injection site on my back hip area with a surgical pen which was helpful. I was just thinking if it seems overwhelming you could skip that class.
