I'd be personally offend by being denied insurance because they are assuming that you want to conceive and that your condition is preventing that from happening.

I wonder if the same denial exists for a man with ED? Would they deny him because he couldn't help in conception? Probably not. Insurance companies can be so sexist.

Hope you find a company soon. I have my own private insurance that I obtained through my college Alumni Office.

I guess they knew that since I did not have children - it might be an issue. They do not want to pay for fertility if they can help it.
Company insurance to my knowledge (here in CA at least) does not/cannot exclude.
