Hello, I read your post on how expencive IVF is and I totally agree with you but wanted to let you know what I did, well I still consider myself lucky but I did do research for 6+ months and was very persistant before I "got lucky" I found a place that offered a "study" and found out what it was all about and was actually on 3 waiting list for 3 different clinics, all of a sudden everyone wanted me, I don't know your age but the study I was in required you to be I believe under 37, but there are other places that has studies for women up to age 40, anyway, I did my study in San Francisco California and I worked the first time, it was a study on doing a LH trigger instead of a HCG trigger when doing IVF. I found all the studies through a pharmacy place, Serano to be exact, they paid for everything except a few little things that the clinic required but I got some of my test through my insurance, like STDs and HIV etc, which saved me a couple hundred dollars. So call around to pharmacy places that make medicine and ask them if they are having any studies or know of anyone and also tell them where you live and if you are willing to travel, also call the universities and ask them, a lot of them do it to. I happed to go to a clinic about 30 miles from my home so that helped. GOOD LUCK
