are you considering IVF using donor sperm? if you are, please be open-minded to what i have to say:
i'm sure your desire for a child is very great, and i'm not trying to discount that at all, but have you considered the life your child will lead? i'd like to say now, that, as the offspring of an anonymous donor, and from the opinions of many more of us (thousands in fact), this choice really might be reconsidered. we live in a constant identity struggle because most of us will never know our fathers, nor our siblings, despite our efforts. this has been a fight for us for probably over 60 years now (i say that only because the oldest of us i know is in their 60s, yet AI has been going on for over a hundred years now). on top of that, it will be a hardship for you as well if you go thru with it. please reconsider, and look further into the situation of us offspring and our struggles. and please, message me back if you would like more information, because i'd be happy to give it to you
if you're not considering donor sperm, good luck! even with this salute to you though, please keep in mind there is always adoption. there are lots of kids out there who already need love.

We just did it in June and it was about 11,000 but we did ICSI with it so without that it would probably be around 8 or 9 thousand. That's not including the meds. Our meds were close to $4,000.00 so add that on. Do you have good insurance? My RE coded everything as illness so it wasn't applied to the deductible all I paid for was my co payments and blood test and my meds.

The fertility center in Nashville told our husband and I it was $10,000, that was for everything. Our insurance wouldn't cover it, because they don't consider infertility to be a "medical condition". However, the fertility center were we went did have a payment plan, $5,000 before and $5,000 after. Geez, what a plan.

Here are some links to invitro fertilization:
Just remember, you could also have twins. Be prepared.
My twins were conceived naturally. My grandma had twins 50 years ago so it also was hereditary.
Do you have twins in your family?

All I know is my insurance doesn't cover it, but the doctor told me that insemination is only $315.00
