I am so ever grateful to you ladies who've donated meds to me. Without your donations this would not be possible for us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Wow! Why the huge increase?? That's such BS, like they aren't already charging enough.

HA! That made me laugh out loud.

I really don't think that is that bad. It is less than $200 a cycle. In the grand scheme of IF treatment and the per cycle cost it isn't worth getting worked up about.

mrsgcal · January 2010

I'm so sorry

On a good note, "No wonder we're not pregnant, I'm taking it up the ass."

This made me chuckle a my desk

It's horrible isn't it?

mrshoppy_1231 · January 2010

It's crazy. My RE office actually decreased their prices a tiny bit but the price of meds has gone up a bit. IF is expensive!

Meh. I think it all depends on how much money you make. To us, this is a lot of money. Not worked up about it, just surprised that it went up so much.

madelyn07 · January 2010

It'll be ok! Like Lindsey said, it is only around $200...while it sucks that it went up, it could be worse..don't freak out!

I laugh every time you say that. lol

SweetDahlia · January 2010

I think that's expensive and a pretty crappy price hike. Being OOP sucks. I was just getting used to actually saving and spending money on things we need want and not IUIs and u/s. I am sure we all feel the same way.

SunMoon&Stars · January 2010

I'm sorry, Tarah. OOP bites the big one.

I think in the grand scheme of IF treatment that that is a lot. She is already out of pocket and has done multiple cycles. Especially when you are planning for a cycle, knowing it is one cost, and finding out that it's another price and more expensive to boot.

It is. Especially if you're OOP. Sorry, dear.

They should be giving you a discount for needing to keep coming back!

I like this!! We need a like button on here! Yes Or some sort of discount if you're OOP.

Jill070707 · January 2010

I'm sorry. That really sucks. The heartless money-grab of the IF industry makes me so upset. I think that is a huge increase for something they're making a huge profit on anyway. Anything more than 5% a year is pretty douchey. :P

I hope the lube for the butt-job is free! And I hope you don't need more than 1 more!

I know this was meant in jest, but .. seriously... my RE gives a discount for subsequent cycles.

Sorry you had a price hike - but at least you were smart enough to ask for the new prices... a lot of girls i know would just have been surprised when they were writing the check.

LOL Tarah, you should have a punch card for all you've been through. Y'know, buy 5 IUI's, get the 6th one free Big Smile

Blasianlove · January 2010

Man, that sucks especially OOP.

I am OOP but I would love to have your prices over my RE's prices anyday.

Rachael07.07.07 · January 2010

I'm sorry hun. That's around what we pay too. Plus then we have the costs of drugs. I'm praying that this cycle works.

shipoopiisforme · January 2010

it sucks that any prices have to go up but it is less than a 10% increase. unfortunately re's offices are businesses too and they need to increase their prices to cover costs.

Hell, isn't that the truth! If I can get a punch card at the coffee cart for all the money I spend I should be able to get one at the RE's office too! Maybe I'll suggest this!

QuiltingBee · January 2010

The financial aspects really do add to the stress...as if there wasn't enough stress related to IF. I'm sorry.

I understand the pains of being OOP and trying to plan for it. We are 100% OOP. I just don't see the big deal in a 10% increase in price (and less that $200 - that shouldn't be a problem for anyone to come up with in a a few months time). As much as it sucks, REs are in the business to make babies AND money so, like any business, they will most likely increase prices every year.

Genie0120 · January 2010

Is it wrong that I would die for your rates? Our office charges $518 for each ultrasound. On my first cycle, I need 4 ultrasounds,,,I paid a little fortune in ultrasounds alone.

OOP blows.
