[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP--it really varies.  We had a lot of our testing done at the Rosalind Franklin lab because they're a participating provider for BCBS PPO.  A few other tests were done through Quest/LabCorp (all covered) and a few had to be done at other labs and were out of pocket.  All told, I'd say we spent $1,000 or so on tests.

On our first cycle, we did LIT in Nogales, Mexico, which was not that expensive for the actual treatment (maybe $400?) but the travel costs are also a consideration.  We were lucky that IVIG, Lovenox and steroids were all covered by my insurance with co-pays. Intralipids are significantly cheaper than IVIG if you end up going self-pay (although it's somewhat unclear if they are equally effective).  I'm not sure about the cost of Neupogen.  I think Dr. Braverman is currently the only doctor going this route.

If you conceive easily on your own, you may not need to do IVF, but it will depend to some extent on the cost of your medications.  If you are prescribed something very expensive and not covered by insurance (like IVIG) it may make more sense to do IVF so you have better odds of conceiving immediately and not having to repeat your dosage over multiple months.[/quote]
