Does anyone know of any charities that help pay for the cost of fertility treatments?

Question

I have a friend who was asking.

Answer 1

There are several grant programs that may help.

From INCIID the Heart
The InterNational Council for Infertility Information Dissemination (INCIID -- pronounced "inside") announces an ambitious new program -- From INCIID the Heart -- to provide free In Vitro Fertilization to couples in need. INCIID, a non-profit organization, provides information on Infertility and Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) as well as support to thousands around the world hoping to build a family.

Affording Hope Infertility Foundation, Inc- They do not have their grant program finalized yet. However, this is an organization to monitor. One of biggest hopes for this Foundation is to be able to afford financial grant giving to those couples pursuing infertility treatments who do not have infertility insurance.

FertileHope. Fertile Hope is proud to present Sharing Hope, a program to help increase access to egg, embryo and sperm freezing for cancer patients.

Partnership for Families. The Partnership for Families Program at the Cleveland Clinic Fertility Center at Beachwood provides funding for a second cycle of IVF to couples who otherwise could not afford another try. The program was founded by 23 couples whose lives have been affected by infertility. Each recipient of a Partnership for Families Award receives $8,000 worth of IVF medical services. In addition, Serono Pharmaceutical’s Helping Hands Fund provides $2,000 worth of medications to each recipient. I believe you have to be a patient of this clinic- but if you're already in Ohio, you should check it out.

Fertility Assist- New program offering all Serono fertility medications free of charge to eligible patients through Freedom Fertility Pharmacy™ for your third OI or IVF cycle if you have not been successful after the prior two attempts.

The Origins Drug Benefit Program Through this new program, GIVF (The Genetics and IVF Institute- DC area) will be able to provide free Gonadotropin drugs to most Donor Egg, Shared Risk and self-pay IVF patients who begin their cycle(s) by September 15th 2005. The per cycle savings for these drugs is approximately $900. By providing these drugs to our patients at no cost, the cost of prescription drugs for a typical IVF cycle will be reduced by approximately one-third. GIVF is pleased to offer this program to benefit both new and current patients.

Answer 3

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

Giving birth to a new life is indeed a blessing which almost every woman would wish to have. How to get pregnant naturally https://tr.im/ouET6
Enjoying the feeling of motherhood and raising a family would surely be a couple’s dream. Some get it naturally, while for some others things don’t seem to work as they desire. These reasons which stop a women from conceiving can be due to either physical reasons or truly physiological.

Answer 5

None that I know of. Have your friend check into traveling to India to have her treatments. We considered that but ended up pregnant on our own. The cost is about 1/3 of that here in the US, and their doctors are trained here. People magazine had a big article about the new medical tourism trade this past summer. Have her check into it!

Answer 6

You should follow the method "Pregnancy Miracle" ( available in electronic format at http://get-pregnant.keysolve.net )
It's a clinically proven holistic system for permanently reversing your infertility and your partner's infertility disorders and getting pregnant quickly, naturally and safely within 2 months without drugs, dangerous surgeries, side effects, or expensive infertility treatments.
It worked for me, me and my hubby were struggling for years and this book changed our lives. We now have a 1 year old beautiful daughter and we feel like the happiest people that ever walked the earth.

Answer 7

Unfortunately, most charities don't want to help for stuff like this.

They feel that if someone truly wants a baby, they'll adopt...and even though we're a successful adoptive family now, adopting is not for everyone.

Answer 8

When you can't get pregnant, and things look good from the outside, it can be extremely frustrating.
The first thing to consider is how long have you been trying. About 80% of couples will get pregnant after six months of trying, and about 90% will be pregnant after 12 months of trying to get pregnant. Anyway this is a great methid to get pregnant fast https://tr.im/f87e9

Answer 9

Tell your friend to adopt. There are plenty of children in the world already that need good safe homes and good parents. If it is that difficult to conceive, perhaps she isn't suppose to have her own child. In Vitro Fertilization and the likes seem selfish to me when there are already so many children, through no fault of their own, needing to be adopted.

Answer 10

There are plenty of physicians' offices who have different studies from time to time and your friend may want to get on that band wagon.
