My sister is a country girl doing IVF, not myself personally though.
She also goes 5 hrs away, to Sydney. Sydney IVF do have a consultant here, so it has made it a little easier.
She gets her medication sent to her, and the consultant keeps an eye on her. She did notice that all b/t and ultrasounds have to be paid for too though.
I guess if you live in the city they do them for you??
She can call and have a phone consult with her specialist, and this is also billed to her, around $100 per phone call, which I guess is the going rate for an actual visit?
She drives down and stays with family when she needs to. She gave up work once the time got closer though, so although money got hard, she could do anything she needed to at any time.
Sorry I couldn't help more.
My poor sis pays through the nose for each IVF attempt, not to mention the petrol, food and loss of DH's income for each visit.....
