First off I want to say hello. I have not been on here for a long time. I do miss all of you!!!!

I have come to a strict realization that hubby and I cannot get pregnant on our own like so many of you. Its so frustrating and emotional draining.
I am at the point of calling fertility clinics getting prices of treatments. As most of you know the treatments areso expensive. I have no idea how we are going to afford these treatments.
I feel so emotional right now I feel as though I am going to burst!!

What have you done to be able to afford these treatments?
Do you have any ideas for me on how to raise money?
I only have ghpp and medicare and they do not pay for any of it! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

I need a clever fund raiser that people would feel inclined to donate to, mostly famliy members.
Thats the only way I know of that we will be able to fullfill our dreams of being parents.
I am at a loss of words to discribe how painful the thought of giving up my life long dream just because of money!!!!!!

Is there any other cysta that is frustrated with the fact that these treatments are so expensive. I mean having a child naturally is expensive alone but then we have to add this extra expense just to make it all possible.

I was thinking that maybe there is a way to raise money to support us in need of assistance. I am brain storming on the idea. Maybe start my own website.
It would be great to come up with something to raise money, with the money going to help other cfers become parents.
I know this subject is controversal to some and im not looking for opinions on whether or not cfers should be parents.
I am looking for your input on whether or not this could work. From personally being affected by the cost associated with infertility treatments, i understand how it can be a financial burden. I am willing to put myself out there to help others in need.
Please if you have any ideas please let me know. Ive never started anything like this.

You might try posting this on the adult forum; I think more people visit that one.

Also, you might want to PM Julie...I know her and Mark did in vitro, so she would probably have some good info for you.

Sorry I'm not much help and that you guys are having to deal with this. Best of luck to you and your hubby!

I know you can get a loan for assistance with adoption fees-are there services to help with fertility fees....Something in my memory is saying I've heard of that.
For me personally I wouldn't feel comfortable about gathering funds-thats just me. I feel that its my life and I couldn't put that financial situation on others. Again-that is JUST me. I would definitely be ok with a 'loan' type situation though.

To me its different from fund raising for an immediate medical need or emergency. And I do know what it is want a child SO badly-so I'm not trying to downplay that. Believe me-I know.
But I base alot of my feelings towards this on my circle of friends, my family and my community.

It sounds like you are confident and ready-so if you think its the right thing, go for it. I SO wish you the best, however it plays out.

Definitely talk to your clinic about infertility costs and payments. You ARE NOT the only patient to have infertility concerns, and you're not the only patient without the means to pay this astronomical amount. You never know-there may be a away around all this. Talk to your cf clinic and to as many fert clinics and forums as you can about payment. You're not alone. There's been thousands of couples in your shoes.

Wish you the best!!
