Sal,

Yeah, it is very $$$$ over here. I keep hearing about women who go "over the pond" to get PG in Europe because it is a lot less expensive over there. I was able to qualify for a refund plan. I paid $13,800 up front and they guarantee to have me PG in 3 IVF's. If they don't then they have to refund me the full $13,800 back. I'm not sure how that translates in your currency. That does not include any of the medications though. They run about $3,000 per cycle. If all 3 cycles fail then you are out that money for the meds.

I am unexplained, by hubbies swimmers are good, HSG was normal, FSH was a 6.5 (supposed to be between 5 and 7). Cycle day 21 bloodword was excellent and the Saline Ultrasound was excellent. So I am hopeful that this will work. I just have to get hubbie back into the clinic to "produce" on the day of retreival. It was near impossible to get him there for the seman analysis and freeze. So I am not sure how I am going to fanagle this again. I'll have to drag him there. He is a hard core Italian from New York and thinks it is an impossible thing for me to ask him to do that. Geez. I tell him, "Have you seen the PIO needles? Are you kidding me"? I wish my part was so easy. ;(

Thanks for letting me ramble.
