We are lining up for stim cycle #5. Last year was a little easier with the medicare rebate but still hard financially.

My clinic fees for this year are 1st stim $6,400 with out of pocket $1979.10 and subsequent cycles $6,400 with out of pocket $1,469.10. This does not include ICSI, blastocyst and other meds (Lucrin, Synarel etc). So we are out of pocket about $3K for our Jan cycle. Great way to start the year.

Basically we have extended our mortgage to cover these costs, but funds are running out.
