[quote=Anonymous]Well, My husband and I have separate accounts and i paid for my IVF as well.
We have been married for 14 yrs and I have been working for 10 yrs.  I make a lot less money than my husband.
 So far, my husband has always paid all the household expenses (mortgages , bills, insurance everything) and I was able to save up all my money.
This arrangement worked well for us. As I was able to buy a house in our native country by using saving and now using my saving to have a baby.Also I hope to keep saving in the future for my child's college funds as well.
I like our arrangement and dont feel anything is unfair in our case.
While we have our separate account, and he pays all household expenses. I save, but I in return use those savings to do things for the family.

I paid most of the 3 rounds of IVF at CCRM (Pricy)+ saving money for surrogate as I cannot carry a child.
Its not like my husband did not pay any in this process, he did pay the 34 travels, plane fare, hotels to Denver CCRM, all meds+local ultrasound and many other costs so far we did for 3 retrievals. But the bulk of the IVF cost was paid by me and now saving more so I can pay 70% of the surrogate agency fees. He will pay the rest 30%.

Each couple and their financial decisions/needs are unique. only you will know what is fair and best for you
