Can you give me an estimate of how much your IVF cycle cost you?
We have MFI and were told we would definitely need ICSI. Would RGI tell me what meds they think I would be on, so I can estimate that? I'm worried we're going to start and not have enough money saved up and I hate putting money on the credit card.

3 IUI's, 2 IVF's , 1 FET , 1 IVF w/ Gestational Carrier, and 1 FET using adopted embryo's = ALL BFNs
We are adopting!

I am going through IVF now, but have some insurance coverage so i'm not sure exactly what the OOP cost is. If you call and ask to speak to Jessie, she can give you all of the costs.
If I had to guess, I'd say the procedural part of the IVF (ER/ET/Embryologist costs) is about $6500. I am not sure about the monitoring appts as those haven't posted on my insurance yet.
lmc is OOP so you could always page her on PAIF.
GL, hun!
Edit: We aren't going the ICSI route, so I don't know the cost of that...

I went to the Columbus office (except for my transfer and retrieval).
They will give you a good breakdown of costs when you have your consult. I don't remember exactly but I think the actual IVF was around 7,000 and meds were about 4,000. We also did assisted hatching which I think added some. I have my paperwork somewhere that has the actual costs but I don't know where it is.
ICSI will add some $ to it as well.
I loved RGI! Moved to MI from Powell in June (got our BFP in May). If we ever try again, I want to go back to them!
Good luck! You can always page me with questions, I lurk on here but am on the PAIF board the most.
Yes, I go to the Columbus office
Thank you! Yea they did give me a break down, I guess I was wondering how close the estimate (espeically for meds) was to what they give you.
That's great news! Congrats!
Yea they did give me a break down, I guess what scares me is the estimate of $3-4K for the meds. Could it be higher? Could it be lower? We're not planning to have all the money saved until March/April but what I'm scared of is that we will Rx more meds than $4K (which is what we are budgeting for). I wonder if they would give me the name of the drugs so I could look up the prices.

I did end up stimming for a few days longer and needing more meds but they actually gave me a vial of Follistim someone donated to them for free so I don't think I went over the upper end of the estimate. We had to add a med into my protocol early on b/c I wasn't reacting but it wasn't an expensive med like the Follistim.
Also, try to get donations. A fellow nestie donated some Follistim to me so that helped.
This. Even with ICSI, Dr. J told us it would be around $12K. (Up to $15 depending on meds.)
