My clinic has "compassionate meds" for some clients where they help to alleviate the cost of the medications, and I was able to donate all of my leftover meds to that.<br /><br />Also, my f/s gave us a 30% discount on our second IVF cycle as he knew that we were running out of options and that the price tag was just getting too high. He was amazingly compassionate.<br /><br />I would venture it's worth asking- the worst they can say is no!<br /><br />Best of luck, and congrats on paying off the student loans!<br />T.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714829068066461415.post-64601700773172110992010-11-09T14:58:09.605-05:002010-11-09T14:58:09.605-05:00I am right at the same spot!

I have called about 10 clinics about their trials. Go to www.clinicaltrials.gov and you may get lucky and get some help. Some cycles are fully covered! Some are partially covered. Some don´t even exist! but it´s worth the try. <br />Good luck!!La locahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188455556179312562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714829068066461415.post-31867451462342866112010-11-08T15:18:10.661-05:002010-11-08T15:18:10.661-05:00I don't know much either but I'm having a ...I don't know much either but I'm having a similar sort of panic. We get our first cycle free (on the UK NHS system) and we have just about enough money to pay for a second. After that, who knows but we're keeping positive.<br /><br />Well done on paying off the student loan!MyTTCstoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839462668028243733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714829068066461415.post-14360259283049870072010-11-08T09:41:32.439-05:002010-11-08T09:41:32.439-05:00Well, I don't really have any advice for this ...Well, I don't really have any advice for this area of things, but I wanted to say a "Heck yeah!" for paying off student loans! that must be a giant relief!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714829068066461415.post-90458103686647206062010-11-07T20:21:14.978-05:002010-11-07T20:21:14.978-05:00Please let me know if you will be using Follistim ...Please let me know if you will be using Follistim because I have a lot of it left that my sister (she was our egg donor) didn't use. I would be happy to donate some to some what elevate the cost of meds. I wish I could do more. <br /><br />I was going to recommend grants as well and all of the ones I know are on your list.<br /><br />Wishing you all the best. *hugs*Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11725206633751351133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714829068066461415.post-42787250262184157102010-11-06T20:54:36.777-04:002010-11-06T20:54:36.777-04:00Another one I found when I was researching this wa...Another one I found when I was researching this was Bumps, Inc.
