Infertility treatment is very expensive. I used to think that maybe only celebrities and the very rich can afford this. However, I discovered some tips on the internet that can help ordinary people like me afford the cost of treatment.

Read your insurance plan very carefully - you might be eligible for part of the coverage

Use your flexible-spending account - if your company has one

Dip into your 401(k) - there are companies that allow you to borrow

Take out a loan - but weigh your options carefully

hope this helps!

We took out a loan for IUI or artificial insemination. I did not want to put it against our credit card and for months afterwards we were on a tight budget.

We all know how expensive fertility treatment is, that's why for us couples who have very tight budget, we need to shift to the affordable one..herbal remedies for infertility treatment.

Fertility drugs such as clomid, are usually covered by an insurance, if your insurance company also covered infertility treatments.

the "Dip into your 401(k)" sounds good. these are typically future reserves so it can be expendable. i dont really like credit card debt as the interest rates are atrocious.

These are geat tips! IVF is so expensive and draining your savings just to get pregnant is not a good idea to me. Raising a child costs money so the idea of going into debt just for a child is unappealing.

If you are in this case but then you don't have money to pay for this treatment, I don't advice you to do some loans, because you let another problem would enter in your lives.How about lift them up to the Lord and have faith on Him for God knows what is best for our lives. If He allows these things to happen in your lives, then with an open arms accept it.
