My insurance was decent but definitely didn't cover our 5 IVF cycles. We jokingly refer to our babies as "million dollar babies" at times.

We itemized our taxes in 2011 and we spent $29K in 2011. In 2010 we spend about $10K. Fortunately for us, our insurance was great for everything EXCEPT infertility....so those 3 times I had to go to the ER for OHSS - all covered. And once I got pregnant, I had several complications (including a hospital stay) and it was covered 100% too. It was really expensive but worth every penny!!Sybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12248213208248129767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355053179502250232.post-62033490832528262632013-09-05T10:14:49.912-07:002013-09-05T10:14:49.912-07:00Our insurance covers NOTHING and we will be starti...Our insurance covers NOTHING and we will be starting IVF in the next few months (God willing).

Seriously they meant more then you can know and gave me encouragement when I so needed it! Thank you!!<br />Next, wow you are SO lucky you guys had coverage previously and have some now! We've never had coverage and have had to pay for everything out of pocket, it sucks!!! rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480554666969330506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355053179502250232.post-37284972176963936402013-09-04T08:39:07.753-07:002013-09-04T08:39:07.753-07:00Girl, I hear ya.

The timing of our IVF couldn't have been better -- getting pregnant with twins on my husband's company's insurance plan which covered 90% of IVF and 100% of the birth. And then he was laid off when they were 2 months old. We are now on my company's insurance PPO, which is very good, but has ZERO infertility coverage. We aren't planning on having more kids so I'm not going to stress about that 0 coverage. I do have 4 frosties I'm not sure what to do with though... and what do people do without coverage? My best friend just cashed in her 401k and now she's pregnant with 1, so it was money well spent. Her husband has a military pension so having to use up her 401k wasn't as difficult as it could have been.

When we heard $15K we thought wow, that's a lot. Turns out we are at $14,500 of the 15 and we are out of pocket close to $30K. I hope that soon IVF will be available to all!Janet Off Kilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18064947474835725800noreply@blogger.com
