We have decided to try 1-3 treatments of IUI and then pursue IVF if we are not successful.
We are hopeful but not disillusioned of our chances of success. It is daunting to think of taking on the financial burden of IVF.
The cost of IUI is about $1,000. Totally worth it for having a child! IVF with ICSI on the other hand is about $10,500 for ONE treatment and that does not include the several thousand dollar cost of medications! There is also a financing program through Intergramed called the "Cost Share Plan". This program is about $25,200 and also does NOT include the cost of medications. The benefit with this program is that you get up to 6 attempts to conceive and if you do NOT take a baby HOME or you opt out at any time, you get 70% of your money back! The minor downside of course being that if you conceive the very first time you just spent $25,200 instead of $10,500 but what is the price value of a new life???
We hope to start our very first cycle of IUI in December ... your prayers and well wishes is much appreciated!
