yup..i believe so..i am going on Dec. 8th to get all the exact details..
but i believe that even if i get my own donor i STILL have to pay them the $5000..
which is bull crud... if i get my own donor that donates her eggs for free...why do i still have to pay?
But i will know more after next week...
What you're paying for when you pay for "donor eggs".
BIGGEST cost: meds cost $2-3,000. No bull.
Other costs: screening for STDs, screening for genetic problems, screening bloodwork (you don't want crummy eggs!) - several hundred (even with a contracted lab)
monitoring of donor while she's on meds - several hundred - thousand
fees paid to donor - around $1,500....or so.
and it's a BIG pain to donate eggs - it's not convenient, not painless, and a big commitment of time. Most donors only donate once or twice. Like I said - it's a big pain. But God bless the donors, it's the only way my sister got pregnant!
You might look at Attain IVF for some financing options...they have some good options: http://www.integramed.com/inmdweb/content/cons/shared.jsp Basically - if you don't get pregnant in 6 attempts, they refund you 80% of you monies...but there is a catch - Attain is not available at all clinics - the tend to align themselves with the more successful clinics. They have a list of clinics in your area.
Let me know if you want info - I have TONS and am glad to help...
Yes, please! Any help i will be so thankful for! Thanks so much!
they told me the donor costs for my case are..
$5000 to pay the donor... NOT covered by ins, because thats her pay for doing it.. (thats whats killing me here.. that amount of money..i cant afford..)
about $2,500 for donor testing... (NOT covered by ins. )
and if my ins wont cover HER meds..another few thousand... So 7 to 10 grand for my case..
My ins. will cover the donor medical part...doctor visits.. any ultra sounds, blood work.. ..egg harvest..etc...
just not sure about covering her meds because they wont be in my name...
so most likely i'll have to pay for those also...
Also..i wanted to say..i do know how hard it is to be an egg donor..i went through 3 cycles of IVF...(with one egg harvest and embryo implants..) and i remember the pain..how difficult all thos drugs and needles are..it was 6 yrs ago..and i still remember it..
so i do appreciate the donors..it, for sure, is not an easy job...
