Hi y'all. I'm really curious. I want to do an IVF my husband wants me to do it too. I want to know…

do you have time? its ALOT of info. what specific questions do you have

Yes. Will I wanted to know if anything they do hurts? If I have to have my body ready for sertian stuff? Yes I have insurance.

How much is it ?

If I have medi-cal would they do it ?

That's my question too. I would like to know how much it costs and what insurance you have to have?

What's medi-cal? Like a medical card/govt insurance? If so they won't cover anything fertility wise. And a lot of private insurances won't cover it or won't cover all of it. @mommytobe2317 and I'm sure a lot of it hurts lol there's lots of shots and medicine involved. And a lot of doctors won't do it unless you've tried EVERYTHING else.

Okay. Will I'm going to talk to my doctor soon. So we shall see what he has to say to me. @chelseaepley

I wasn't being rude. I was just letting you know. Sorry if you took it wrong. @mommytobe2317

I had no choice because my husband had cancer, and we had to freeze his sperm (surgically took it from him) before he went thru radiation. I had over a year of shots (6 a day sometimes) and only have 3 healthy embryos. That's 3 tries at pregnancy. I just got my first embryo transferred on Monday, and I find out if it worked next week. IVF is super hard on your body. I've gained 26 lbs and it wouldn't go down, no matter how much I dieted and exercised. But unsuperficially, you also go through major hormonal changes. I cry and lash out a lot, I get depressed and fatigued, my face is super splotchy now. I'll have to get it lazered after I'm done having kids. It costs up to $20k the first time, and goes down every time after that. Took me 5 times to get 3 healthy embryos. But I opted to have genetic testing so I wouldn't have to go through miscarriages. I'm 36 and had limited sperm, so I felt gen. testing was necessary for us personally. Good luck!

And yes. The shots hurt.

I know you weren't being rude @chelseaepley. Okay will I hope it works out for you and I'm wishing you good luck and praying for you @mgs
