  • You can click on my blog in my siggy below. I have listed everything we have spent money on.  We have been VERY lucky that my RE and a friend donated meds to us, it would have been 2-6k more if they hadn't.  

    Your RE will probably have a handout that breaks it down for you.  GL!

  • Thanks everyone! I think we are going to try supplements for SO and give it at least 6 more cycles after this one and then look at other options. We just can't afford it at this point. It stinks because of insurance changes and IVF was covered on the old plan. Sorry to get religious but I know in my heart that God wants us to be blessed with a child so I will give it to him. It's hard though. It was tough when it was just me with IF issues but for both of us to have issues is just a double blow. Thanks for all your advice, help and support!
