[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you marry and do gender selection with an asshole, OP? He sounds awful.[/quote]
I think OP is a troll.[/quote]

IVF for sex selection isn't covered under insurance and costs like 50k. OP do you have that kind of money? This is a troll. [/quote]

I’m not sure what the cost was 8 years ago but it’s not necessarily 50k.  Our insurance did cover IVF and genetic testing.  Without insurance 1 cycle was 30k, including testing. A lot of people do genetic testing and gender select (although most do not do IVF to gender select).  It’s not terrible unusual in the IVF community.

Not saying it’s not a troll but I notice there tend to be a lot of misinformation about IVF out there.  If OP got lucky and had a healthy male embryo from one cycle I’m guessing 30k.  And this is DCUM, 30k isn’t much to many of us. [/quote]

Insurance covered it for you because you needed it. It doesn't cover it u less you have a medical need for IVF. "Wanting a son" isn't a medical need. Additionally, OP's husband is in the military. Unless he is an officer most military families with two kids don't have 50k lying around. [/quote]

Are you from the 1950s too?

Why are we assuming OP doesn’t work?[/quote]

Where did I assume that? Do you think she earns hundreds of thousands of dollars a year while married to an enlisted service member? Maybe! But higk u likely. [/quote]

I’m a ICU nurse and my insurance covered three rounds of IVF.  It did not cover genetic testing though, we had to pay for that and the majority of the meds our of pocket.

I definitely do not make hundreds of thousands of dollars.  I don’t think everyone who does IVF does.

I will say that I was also 39 and DH was 42 when we got pregnant with our son, so that was also a contributing factor to why we chose IVF.   We had been trying for a third for a few years and it wasn’t happening. [/quote]
JFC you people are thick. If you decide to do IVF solely for the purpose of sex selection insurance covers NONE OF IT. Not just the cost of genetic testing, they cover absolutely nothing. You are out of pocket for all of it. 
Insurance will cover IVF if you have a medical need. Wanting a son isn't a medical need. Genetic testing has nothing to do with it. [/quote]
