I too thought the whole money part of your plan would work also with the 5,000 and the cost share, but it doesn't quite work that way. This is what I am talking about: "With the IVF warranty program we are considering, we get three fresh cycles and three FETs. If we are not successful (defined by them as a live, take-home baby), we will be out less than the cost of one fresh cycle, thanks to our insurance." Even though you have insurance coverage, you still have to pay the whole amount of the cost share. You clinic still bills your insurance and they keep the money and do not credit it to your cost share portion. The only way you get some of this money is if you are succcessful on the first try, then you get a credit payment. Make sense - if not e-mail me. Your clinic may do things a bit differently, but I did a little research in the Twin Cities and the clinics I looked into operated like I explained. Now, if this is not what you were meaning with that statement, just ignore my whole entire babble and I apologize for taking up your time. I guess I should add that I agree with your plan, even despite my whole babble that could be percieved as negative, but really, I am not intending that.

It's a good book because it doesn't talk about the science so much, more about the feelings you'll experience throughout IVF. I found it very helpful and have given it to my whole family to read.

Had we dithered around with IUI and been unsuccessful we would've had no money left for IVF. The success rates of IUI just aren't that stellar for us to have take the chance. So unless you're calling me crazy like a fox, I'd say go for it. And my RE left the decision up to us. We went straight to IVF and skipped IUIs also for insurance coverage reasons.

With your insurance situation, I would do exactly the same thing. I personally only mucked about with Clomid for so long simply because I had unlimited coverage for that and limited coverage for IVF. And, though we got lucky w/IUI, if and when I ever decide to go for #2, I would seriously consider going straight to IVF myself. Though I have to say, for the millionth time, that I hate that we have to make treatment decisions based on the whims of whatever functionaries wrote out our insurance policies. Not crazy at all.
