Anyone find a cheaper way to afford IVF? Our insurance doesn’t cover it. Any tricks?? I’ve looked up private insurance and grants but I can’t find anything helpful.

Get a new job that does cover it. Or pay out of pocket at the typically discounted rate for those without insurance. Insurance makes a big difference though, cost us $5k total and then everything else during the pregnancy has been covered 100%.

Also this is not ideal but join an ivf support group in your area and look for free leftover drugs.

Try to find a job that has a policy covers fertility treatment. If not, some clinics will provide financing options as well. For medications, you would need to shop around. If conditions allow, getting IVF done in Europe is way much cheaper, even if you have to pay for travel. I've looked into Denmark, Greece, Spain, and Turkey in the past. They are so much more affordable than U.S. and have some really high success rates too. Just a thought.

Call around for mediciation! It is very expensive and a cost you don’t think about. I called around 10 different pharmacies and found $1000 difference between them.

I called around for last cycle and found a place in NJ that was $1800 less than the next cheapest! Still spent $5,500 on meds oof

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license.

I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Went through 4 interviews, panel with presentation/case study with mental health startup that has nothing but rave reviews for me. Apparently no TA team until after I was offered something 20K+ less than I make now. Head of new TA team said they’ll work with me to find a position that fits - the process I went through was “grossly mishandled”. Keep telling me that not even managers make what I’m asking for. Asking for 75k min for 30+ caseload. How do I push them on it? is even worth it?
