    Is there a reason why you don't want to just apply and see what happens?  The process isn't hard at all, and I think it's worth at least trying!  FirstSteps is another discount program as well that you could try.

    09/4/13 - 4/16/14 -- IUI #1 - 6 = BFNs :(

    I wish I knew also, we were denied - I appealed the decision because my hubby and I both had a lot of OT Last year which is not guaranteed income and they recently denied the appeal :(  We are 100% OOP and appoaching IVF #5 - we have drained every ounce of money we have, I feel like in order to get approved you have to make close to nothing :(  We are in Philly - I also asked and they would not disclose the limits.
