dear anaywilmer,
in vitro fertilization, or ivf, is quite
expensive. On average, each cycle of
treatment can cost $4000 to $10,000. And
many couples take more than one cycle to
get pregnant.
Some health insurance plans will pick up
part of the cost, and in some states
health insurance is required to cover
fertility fees, at least up to a point.
In addition, some women do what is called
a shared cycle--where they donate some of
their eggs to another couple that needs
them, who can share the cost of the
cycle.
For more information, talk to your doctor.
Fertility specialists know that cost is a
concern for most families, and will have
lots of information for you about your
options. Good luck to you!
