I read online today that some of the military hospitals (Walter Reed and Madigan) do IVF at a reduced price. It's only $8,000 (only! ha!) for a cycle, as compared to our $18,000. Joe is in the inactive reserves, so he's going to look into whether we can get on the waitlist at Madigan, which is not that far from Seattle. He's not sure he's eligible since he's not active duty, and the wait list is, unfortunately over a year long. It's only something we would do as a back-up plan if we're eligible and should our IVF cycle with our current provider not work out.
Nice to have options, though. Any military people out there should definitely look into the military hospitals for IVF.
I need to figure out how to put a little box to the side of my blog for the tracking of the money. So far, still $0.00.

Just wanted to let you know that at Walter Reed, it's $4600...I read all over the place various prices, but when we actually WENT to the orientation, it was $4000 and going up to $4600 in the next year or two...that was a about 2 and a half years ago, but I just recently looked again and it's still in that range. WAY better than $8000...BUT don't remember the policy for guard or reserve.
