What’s the Financial Cost of Infertility Treatments?

Written by Arpee on July 3, 2008 – 8:34 am -

How much have you spent for your infertility treatments? I imagine that we all start out thinking “whatever the cost”. As women though, we do worry and obsess about the financial cost of our infertility treatments. For some of us, it can be a real financial burden.

I did an analysis of just this year’s cost of our infertility treatments. For half the year, we now have spent about $4,500 since we started with our new Reproductive Endocrinologist due to our relocation. That was the price for infertility baselining, laparoscopy, 2 clomid cycles and 1 follistim cycle. Check out the Cost page for the detailed breakdown of our expenses so far for our infertility treatments.

With half a year to go and no baby yet, we will probably be incurring at least $3000 more for 1 IUI cycle. If we need to go beyond that - whether another IUI cycle or graduate to the more expensive IVF treatment, obviously the infertility treatments is going to cost even more. Oh my!

Will you share how much you have spent already for your fertility treatments and how you coped with it?
