We do not have coverage for IVF, but office visits and some meds are covered. Of course, that doesn't help much because the important stuff is not covered, including FSH. My RE prescribed me Follistim and I just found out that he actually prefers Gonal-f but since I'm paying out of pocket, they gave me the cheaper drug. Not sure about you, but I would prefer to pay for what the RE thinks will give me a greater chance at success, even if I have to pay more. I ended up getting the Gonal-f donated, but I would have paid for it too. Hope this helps. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146438889466307609.post-73735712086186481392010-01-10T13:21:31.251-06:002010-01-10T13:21:31.251-06:00Christa, thanks for the info.

Some of the trials give a stipend for participating, like $1,500 or free meds or something like that. Check out www.clinicaltrials.gov I found alot for PCOS-related IVF, ISCI, and all kinds of stuff.Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713898564060672421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146438889466307609.post-6407853890224876082010-01-10T08:43:03.125-06:002010-01-10T08:43:03.125-06:00That is a great list of questions.
