Thanks, I think that he is cute too but I am so biased....

The Donor IUI that I did through my clinic where my health plan is accepted was a mix of what was paid and not paid. I only paid 10 extra on my co-pay for appointments since it was a specialist and most of my appointments then were covered. medications were not covered and so I ordered my injectiables from overseas where they are much cheaper. My ultrasounds and blood work were somethings that I had to pay some on and of course the sprem wasnt cheap. The site I ordered from had various prices depending on what info you could get on daddy. I am so curious as to what he looked like and such but I wasnt going to pay an extra 150 dollars a vial for that or 300 to 500 extra a vial for a possible meet when he gets of age. I bought 6 vials because it was cheaper for shipping than buying 3 at a time but I now have 2 vials left in storage at the hospital that I will need to make a decision on sooner or later. If I can afford another child and still want another child in a few years then I will try again if not then the little swimmers might just get flushed.

I can say also that the 1st 2 years I tried I went through a clinic in Dallas Texas that is reknown for their getting women pregnant (and I did the 1st year and had a M/C 8 wks later) but I had to pay cash for everything since my insurance wouldnt cover anything and it was about 2000.00 a try. I will add that I thought that they did alot more in my appointments with U/S and tests than my RE at the local clinic. But I am a mommy now using the local guys so who knows.
