We are talking about doing IVF at the end of this year/beginning of next year. We are looking at going to Frodert Hospital since our original fertility doctor passed away. Frodert has some very good deals. Their pay as you go program is $12,000 which includes ICSI, freezing of embryos and everything in between (meds are not included).
They have another program called IVF Attain. Deal is you pay $26,000 (meds not included). For this price you get 6 attempts at IVF. 3 fresh and 3 frozen and if you do not walk away with a baby they reimburse you 70% of your money! So I believe if you were to get pregnant and miscarry you get another attempt...I need to verify this but that is what I understood from reading the info.
Now we have to make our first consult and decide which program we want to go with. The Attain program is nice because you pretty much have a guarantee. However we got pregnant our first time so if that were to happen again we would actually be paying $14,000 more than if we paid as you go. We are thinking about using the pay as you go instead because even if we didn't get preggo until the second time we would be saving money....however then you don't have that guarantee. Lots to discuss!
That is so exciting. I will be praying for you guys as you make this decision!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!! So many options and so many decisions to be made! Good luck deciding which one to go for! Cannot wait till you get started again!
ReplyDeleteThat is so exciting! We looked into the Attain program, but I didn't qualify. Your FSH level has to be below 10 and mine was 11. :( But since you got pregnant your first attempt last time hopefully that will be the case this time for you as well! :)
