I was curious if anyone has tried IVF??? Me and my hubby have been TTC for about 2 and a half years. The doctors have now recommended that we try In Vitro so we are debating between IVF and adoption I know that I looked into it around here which is in Iowa and im finding that it is about $15000. im just curious what other people have seen for prices because I had a friend tell me they knew someone who had it dont for $8000. I was just wondering what other people expierences have been with it and about the cost that they have seen. Any and all info would be great!! Thank you!!!

Points: 7,963.19 Bank: 0.00 Total Points: 7,963.19 | Well I'm gearing up for IVF #3 it's going to cost $15,000. That's $10,000 for the procedure and $5,000 for meds. Plus there's the other pre-cycling testing I need to get done. I have to get an saline ultrasound for the tune of $800 then lab work. I'm going to try to get my regular doctor to do labs on me for the other stuff. My first IVF was a bust but my second cost me around $20,000 and now I have a wonderful 3 year old. This is my last IVF though positive or negative I can't mortgage the house again! Good Luck

My Mood: Points: 33,558.13 Bank: 0.00 Total Points: 33,558.13 | In my area the IVF cycle costs around $6-7K, and then meds on top of that (cost depends on how much you need). I spent a total of about $9K for the whole thing. It worked for us first try so I'm a big believer in it. And it wasn't nearly as stressful as I had feared. It's pretty similar to a plain injectable cycle if you've ever done that, just with the extra egg retrieval procedure. Any specific questions, ask away!

I'm estimating that the meds will cost $3000, but don't know for sure yet.
There's a cyster on SC who lives in Mexico, and has said a lot of positive things about her clinic (and it's all a lot cheaper, she says). Just an idea!
