If I was in your shoes, I will buy 2 cycles since the 2nd one has a huge discount. Also, it will give you a peace of mind. d

I only purchased 1 cycle with my clinic since they only give me 10% discount if I bought 2. My single cycle cost is double yours and it is a hugh sum of $ upfront if I bought ...
