Hey Nae,

When we did IVF through Monash Clayton it cost us $4800 but after about 7 weeks we got about $2700 back. I've also got Medibank insuance ( which I chose because it covers some of the IVF cost ). So when I was booked in for egg collecton I had to pay the $200 excess on my insurance and then the same again at embryo transfer. We also registered for safety net, so now we get back 80% back from the out of pocket expences. Believe me it's very handy.

I heard one friend say that she was looking at doing IVF through a public system but apparently they only let you do 3 cycles, whereas if you go private you can do as many cycles you want ( or can afford !! ).

Hope this helps.

Beata xxxxx
