We received all the paperwork about IVF and costs and what not. I knew the numbers but seeing it on paper just sucks. So I went to the medical financing website to find out terms and interest. Well its not good news. We are looking at a min of 8% and max of 22%. We have good credit but still with that interest and the loan amount we are needing it will be over 300 if not 400 a month for paying this off. We cannot afford to do that plus have the baby plus pay all our other debt and misc monthly bills. Seriously why does this have to be so freaking hard? Why is it that something as stupid as money is going to stand in the way of us having a baby? Right now we pretty much need a freaking miracle. Money falling from the sky or a money tree? Or how about my freaking body just magically get pregnant. Why does my freakish body require this much torture and treatment just to even have a glimmer of hope at actually getting pregnant and staying that way for a 3rd time. 
We are going to go forward with tomorrow’s procedure but its no longer to get approved for the attain program. Its more for my own peace of mind that everything is normal in there. Right now I don’t have a good feeling that it will turn out normal. UGH! I really just want to go run and scream but unfortunately I am at work so all this will get to boil in me. I literally feel sick. :(
I’m so sorry, April. I know exactly how you feel being shut down by money. I was lucky enough to have the money for 1 try at IVF. It sucks that it costs so much and it sucks that most insurance companies won’t cover it. I’m sending you (((hugs))). Have you checked out the boards lately? There have been a few natural BFP’s to pop up….I’m hoping that we can be posting there soon.
Hi April, I found your blog today and can definitely relate to some of what you’re going through because I’m also preparing to have an IVF cycle. There’s so much stress over money, tests, everything. I’ll check in on you from time to time to see how your doing preparing for IVF, since that’s what I’m doing also, getting ready for it. Take Care and I hope you’ll have some positive news soon.
