    Hey. The other clinic emailed me back and they charge about $3050. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm trying to find insurance that covers fertility and I have talked to 3 different places and none of them cover any part of AI treatment. I don't think I will be able to afford to do this anytime soon. I might have to wait a while.

    My insurance doesn't pay for "infertility treatments." However, they do pay for labs,ultrasounds and office visits...that has help to curb the cost. Maybe you can do it that way.

    mommy87,
    My insurance doesn't cover an AI treatments either. I went to my OB/GYN for the first time the other day just to talk to him and see what to do. He suggested that if I don't have any issues with fertility to do the ICI and come back to him when I get my BFP. After a BFP, insurance will cover my visits and labs because they cover maternity costs....


    So that is what I am doing. I am someone who likes things to go right and I am scared about doing it myself at home for there's a chance I could mess up, but it's worth a try. That way, it's more affordable (babies are already expensive enough and I don't want to go into it broke!) because I only have to buy the sperm and pay for shipping. I have enough money to do about 4 cycles if I need to.

    I would love to be someone to support you and your decisions even though I live in AZ. Send me an email if you want! rwhitfield4@cox.net

    No problem mommy87, this forum is for us to help each other and be a support. I've found this site to be extremely helpful, sometimes just reading other people's thoughts put things into perspective for me.

    Hey hon, I'm from Illinois too. Our state has a fertility mandate... look it up... that means that fertility treatments HAVE to be covered. Check and see if it applies to you... even at my age... I'm 46... I HAVE to be provided four IVF cycles and, thanks to my insurance, my IUI's are unlimited.
