A little off topic... but confused about the convo I just had...

[[I just called IVF Australia and asked them about the cost of natural IVF through them... lol... they told me it was the same as conventional IVF because "the only diff is the drugs and they only cost around $100"... huh?! I'm sure the drugs cost more than that!! And preparation etc. is heaps less than conventional IVF... maybe I should stick with the clinic where I am at at the moment! I seriously don't think that's right... oh well, I suppose I would find out more detail if I made an appointment rather than spoke to them over the phone.]]

Yes, BW, ICSI makes a diff. I just worked out after the Medicare safety net is reached, the price of IVF with ICSI is about the same at Fertility First and IVF Australia. Fertility First "hide" ICSI in their standard costs, I think - their pre-safety net costs are more expensive than IVF Australia, but when you factor in ICSI with IVF Australia, the cost is essentially the same as FF. So, no big diff between the two clinics when it comes to cost.
