First IVF

Alhamdullilah...I never thought I can go into this step due to the financial issues. IVF extremely expensive. But after long research and non stop determination, I managed to find a place that willing to help. I found a place in Albany, New York. Yes, I will be traveling to New York for my IVF, but after all the cost, it still cheaper than Austin, Texas. Furthermore, none of the fertility clinics in Austin willing to work with the payments. The most they can do is to make you get a private loan with extremely high interest. This loan not only expensive, but it also will put you into debts for over 5 to 10 years. Imagine if it failed, and you still have debt about IVF until you're 50?

I am so grateful and thankful that this facility so willingly to work with the payment and the medicines. I able to get 3 IVF cycles with them. The cost so much cheaper than other places. Not only I managed to split the payments for 12 months without interest, I also got free meds which really ease the burden. The only meds I have to buy for my first cycle is the Cetrotide for about $800. That is consider a lot less than $5000.

Few days ago, the Fertility clinic ordered my meds which are:

Bravelle
Menopur
Cetrotide 0.25 mg - Injection
Dexamethasone 0.5 mg - Tablets
Estrace 2 mg - Tablets 2 mg
HCG 10,000 U Vials 10000 units - Injection

If everything go as plan, I will be having my first IVF around mid March. I am so excited and also nervous.

I pray to Allah that this will be a successful journey.
