........ When DP & i were about to embark on the IVF journey about 6years ago my Gyno (IVF specialist) who worked at the private Monash in Melb i told him we simply couldn't afford it (this convo was over the phone) i was astounded that he said " Ok then i will recommend a clinic in Sandringham they will DO it cheaper for you " ... and when i rang this Sandringham clinic i was shocked by the rudeness of the receptionist when i asked how do i go about finding out about costs$ involved ... needless to say i got put off when i rang to tell my Gyno of the rude outcome in which he just didn't care about and said he would get back to me and never did !!

******* So my SUGGESTION is could you ask your Gyno if he knows of a IVF clinic that charges at a lesser cost then others IYKWIM
