yes they are expensive, but I dont think there are public funding. I tried going to the Local business bureau in my state to look for companies that sponsor but did not find anything. I also checked with the local government run clinic and got nothing.

I dont know if there is public funding in the US. In Australia, they have public funding for consultation and for treatment but there are special criteria that has to be met before a couple qualifies for public funding.

In Denmark, they have cut off public funding for IVF, probably due to the global recession.

Wow... good for the Aussies then! But I saw one of their criteria that the couple has to have an "extreme case of infertility". Its pretty vague and they did not put a definition to that phrase.

We need to search for countries who can provide a funds for fertility treatment. But as of now, I really don't have in mind.

Im not too sure about this in the US but in Canada, there are govt sponsored clinics that do this. But like in Australia it is for extreme cases only. I guess they do this for study/research.

I dont think there is public funding for this in the states. I have heard of clinical trials but that is very rare.

clinical trials are hard to get into not to mention that they carry high risks since usually the drug is still in the experimental stage.

AFter being ttc for some time, I still have to find public funding for infertility. =(

Ive never heard of a public fund for fertility treatment before. I dont think it is possible too considering the state of the us economy.

In countries with free medical care, such as Canada or UK, does it include fertility treatments and the likes?

This makes me think that only those who can afford it "deserve" the treatments.

what about private funding? like you get someone rich enough to sponsor you. thing is, what can you offer that rich someone in exchange?
