Trouble TTC

Update. IVF is a no go. :( (long)

MH and I had planned to do IVF around the beginning of October. Today I found out that we were expected to pay $480 up front to our anesthesiologist, and almost $700 for the initial freezing of our embryos. This is on top of the $250 we had to pay to have them moved to the facility that we had chosen to store them at. (Because it was cheaper than the lab where we were doing our IVF.) 

I broke down in tears as soon as I hung up the phone because we just can't come up with that kind of money in such a short period of time, only about 3 weeks. I called my RE's office and she said that they couldn't see any way of working around it. Fortunately though, we could convert this cycle to an IUI cycle, so at least it doesn't have to be cancelled all together. We're a little disappointed but still hopeful.

  • Being 100% OOP sucks....  I know from experience.  Could you use a credit card and just pay it off?  Or maybe a small bank loan?
