[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My IUI cycles were $1500 each.  For MOST mere mortals, that is NOT cheap.  I mean, it isn't an IVF cycle, but it is still a chunk of change.  If you did one, ok - but most people need to do more than one.[/quote]

I guess that's true, but I can't remember if they charge you for the full cycle if you don't do the actual insemination. For me, IUI was covered by insurance but IVF was not.

My opinion is that risking high order multiples was irresponsible. She had two children already, and the wreckage of that type of pregnancy could have been severe.  But my perspective was shaped by being a patient at a conservative fertility clinic that tried to avoid high order multiples. I'm not suggesting that she would have wanted to abort any of them, just that the took a huge risk. When we did our second round of IVF, there is no change I would have taken a risk like that. What would happen to my other child if  I had babies in the NICU for weeks.

Times have changed since them, but the risks associated with high order multiples is one reason to advocate for insurance coverage for IVF (and IUI). People should not gamble with their lives and the lives of their babies. The risks associated with prematurity are tremendous, including pain and suffering for the babies.[/quote]
