I just paid my bill for all the lab work I had done last month. It was basically cd3 blood work, 2 hr glucose test and genetics testing. $3,300 was the original bill. After insurance I paid $390. Ouch.


Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle!

Re: Why is ttcal so expensive?
Ugh, I am sorry.
This process has completely emptied our savings, the inheritence DH got from his grandfather, and whatever was left over after that. It really, really sucks.
tell me about it. I just started the research on adoption costs and IVF costs so we can do some break downs (and believe me I'm about to have a frickin break down over this) - and it is unreal. We've been so lucky to have all of our testing and IUIs covered so far - but this may not last, and certainly won't cover IVF or adoption.
Yikes...
We're out of savings and whatnot as well. So not fun
