I know I am jumping the gun but ............

After my laprascopy I will know if I can ttc "naturally" with the help of blood thinners and something to lengthen my luteal phase or if we will need to do IVF.

I just called my insurance carrier and they donot cover IVF.

I have seen some of you talk about grants--- how bad are the costs?
I am a bit concerned about this.

Any suggestions? Aside from 6 winning numbers

Re: I know I am jumping the gun but ............

I hear they can be upwards of 25K for the entire thing. The grant requires 5 failed IUIs. That's about all I know.

The rest of the girls can answer this better for you. Just wanted to wish you luck.

My IVF cycles were about 6K each. Meds can run up to 8K but you can find them cheaper on line and through friends.

My insurance covered office visits and some of the sonos but that's about it. I am also on a 3-month payment plan with my clinic. I paid in August for my May cycle, and I started paying this month ofr my September cycle.

the grant info, along with good faq on the nys dept of health website may point you in the right direction.
