Need some advice on infertility money issues...ladies/dr q???
March 06, 2008
Ok, so we originally had $15,000 inf coverage. Now its down to $9500 left. This month we are doing injectables/clomid/iui and will use $3000 roughly for that. So..we had planned on moving to ivf right away. Which at my clinic is $15,000. So I need to come up with the other $9000 to do so. So...if you were in my shoes...unexplained secondary inf..had a chemical 5 months ago...would you do two more shots of minimal stimulation with iui...then pay all the $15,000 for ivf out of pocket if iui doesn't work...or would you move right to ivf next month and shell out the $9000?
Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated...of course will be asking my doc next wk his thoughts. Does anyone know if clinics generally accept credit cards and / or payment plans? We have some of the $9000, but not all.

your welcome but I would. It is a hard thing to decide. The dh and I are doing the same thing also. I have really putting preggo in the back of my mind and just trying to get him health.
What are your %'s of getting preggo with what you are about to do with these shots???? What are your %'s of getting preggo doing IVF????

Angela..yes we did dbl iui a few times..but that was with my ob and wasn't monitored well. They did no ultrasound or hcg shot..so my re thinks that he can do a better job w/ monitoring it better.
Thanks, ladies..its a tough decision. Dh wants to try all 3 cycles of iui..but we need to see what the doc says next wk. I just don't want to waste the infertility $....

Sweetie it is your and the dh's decision. My heart goes out to you and I support you 100%. This is hard to matter what. I'm here for you and I know you are here for me. Money is a concern and plus making the right decision. I understand how you feel we are dealing with it also. You are in my prayers and sending you ***babydust***
Ok, so now I'm reading on the website of my ivf clinic (we are using a satelite dr. and only going to the actual clinic for retreival & transfer)...anyways..they have a $ back warranty program. You get a portion..I thought my doc said almost 50% back if you don't get pregnant. BUT that is only good if you aren't submitting to insurance.
So, back to the drawing board.....
