Nickeling and Diming Me To Death!!!

Okay seriously...I know that IF is expense, the IVF is going to cost us close to $15 grand but wow-they really nickel and dime you to DEATH! It's insane!!! I mean you would think when you're paying that large of a sum that it would include EVERYTHING but nope...it sure doesn't.

Let me break it down for you. This doesn't include anything like prenatals, the two visits with my girl doctor that I broke up with, two previous blood work ups, DH's first semen analysis or basically anything prior to April not to mention the time we've both taken off from work but I guess we don't really factor that into the picture. Keep in mind that after our first visit with Dr. Val, we took a break until now when we're getting ready to get down to business!

So the break down:

Dr. Val April Visit $40
DH's Blood Work $7.50
My Blood Work $17.48
My MRI (hospital cost) $318.60
My MRI (imaging center cost) $11.46
Banking Sperm #1 $120
Banking Sperm #2 $120
BC $10

Look at all of them individually and it doesn't seem like that much but add it all up and that's a little over $600 which let's just round that up to $1,000! Seriously, throw me a freakin' bone...I guess I shouldn't complain, our orientation was free, well, free as in $15 grand free. I'm sure they're be plenty of nickeling and diming before this is all over...
