Saving money

Male factor infertility with mild endometrosis:

Well, it looks like hubby and I will be doing IVF-ICSI in the future. Right now we are currently going throuhg natural IUI until we save enough money to do the IVF. We need to save 10,000-12,000 dollars. UGH! Anyone on the same boat as me??

OH, yes, I'm in the exact same boat as you. We just finished 2 cycles of IUI trying to cash in on that 5% chance we were given.

We won't do anymore of those, so we're also needing to save/borrow $10,000 - $13,000.

And I don't know how we're going to do it.

Second Chance,

Ugh! I am sorry to hear you have to save money also. Of course we can't save fast enough either...

I will keep trying IUIs until about June or July, then I am taking a break while saving money. We won't be able to do the IVF-ICSI until winter 09 most likely, but who knows...

Best of Luck to you and your family,
Casey

Just thought I would post that midwest ivf is doing a trail study so the cost might be lower. They have 4 michigan locations.
