We are possibly preparing to enter into IVF for the first time, and I thought the cost for that was bad. I can't even fathom what you have spent so far. The whole thing is just unbelievably unfair. <br />I hope you get to bring your baby home soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860472941152174025.post-37499911797910141482011-11-18T07:55:48.098-08:002011-11-18T07:55:48.098-08:00We spent $50,000 on 3 ivfs and a surgery for dh an...We spent $50,000 on 3 ivfs and a surgery for dh and I thought that was a lot. I would have spent hundreds of thousands though to create our family. We too are lucky enough to have the funds as well although the tension was mounting towards the end bc dh is all about saving saving saving. So am I, but what the hell were we saving for if there were no kids to spend the money on? I'm pulling for you guys big time. No one should have to spend this kind of money. And I am just heartbroken when u hear families have to give up bc they don't have the funds. It is all so unfair.siennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16982230898962770375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860472941152174025.post-35906468092648926942011-11-17T14:17:43.269-08:002011-11-17T14:17:43.269-08:00Great post.

We also have been lucky enough to afford to pay mostly out of pocket for our 5 IVFs (the last one worked and I am now 11 weeks pregnant!), but it really angers me that IF treatments are considered "elective." I joke that I will use the cost against our child one day, "Of course you have to brush your teeth - do you know how much it cost to create you?!" ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860472941152174025.post-3458865020191152022011-11-17T13:55:42.376-08:002011-11-17T13:55:42.376-08:00Thank you for being so frank and detailing your co...Thank you for being so frank and detailing your costs. I was seeing donor eggs for 25-30K and was shocked, so your numbers really blew me away. I agree with posters that there should be coverage for IVF. I too live in a state with no mandatory coverage and it sucks big time to pay from pocket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860472941152174025.post-39284885740467044982011-11-17T06:46:31.451-08:002011-11-17T06:46:31.451-08:00Great post!

It's not fair we can't get pregnant naturally, it's not fair that some of the people who do are terrible parents. But then to have such financial pressure loaded on as well... well, it's demoralising. <br /><br />I am doing IVF in Peru, just because that's where I happen to be living. I used to live in NY and I thank God I didn't have to try to do IVF there because even though the expertise is fantastic, my insurance does not cover IF and the costs are mindboggling. <br /><br />Waiting to see if this round of IVF has worked, so I can't tell you a success story from Peru yet. But my doctor here has impressed me so far (compared with first IVF in Australia). This round has cost us about $US6000 so far. In Australia it cost about $11000 upfront, and the government gives you about half back. <br /><br />I have also read about a high quality IVF in India, Czech Republic, Mexico and Spain.. prob lots more besides. If I was an American, I'd be thinking about heading overseas for IVF.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860472941152174025.post-69646689922974357012011-11-16T18:31:26.083-08:002011-11-16T18:31:26.083-08:00The cost is disgusting!!!!

My mom does u/s's for high risk pregnancies in NY and the stories I hear...the state paying for IUI for people on WELFARE while middle class (or lower) people struggle to pay for one IUI cycle. <br /><br />I realize not having a pregnancy isn't life threatening, but it does affect the mental aspect of women and men. It drives couples to therapy ($125 a session), to take drugs for anxiety, depression and there is so many links of physical health problems to depression. Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper in the long run to at least off to pay $20K. That would give most at least 1-3 attempts! <br /><br />Makes my stomach turn. We have spend a fraction of what you have and are at the point we can't afford it anymore given the uncertainty.

Unfortnanetly only 15 states mandate infertility coverage be offered to employees. Oklahoma is not one of them (that is where I live) Sometimes I feel that infertility costs are very biased. How could a couple making under $50,000 a year afford these cost? Why should anyone have to pay $100,000 for a pregnancy? <br /><br />I was reading an article today about couples traveling to India for IVF. The cost of it with medications is $3,000. The cost with donor eggs was a little more, but it definitely makes you think about it.<br /><br />The whole thing sickens me!
