IVF Insurance

I got wonderful news yesterday...I asked my boss if there was any way we can include IVF in our insurance policy and he said YES....I had done some research on IVF insurace and found that my state is one of many that have a mandate to offer clause.....I told my boss that I would pay the difference in the yearly premium which is about $1500, which is nothing compared to the costs of IVF......I knew it would be a shot in the dark by asking, but i figured it couldn't hurt....Thank God i asked...This is such a huge weight off of our shoulders b/c we knew we would be in even deeper debt if we tried IVF again.....I wanted to post this so that everyone out there that is in the same boat might try talking to the person that handles your insurance, b/c like i said it cant hurt to try.....you know I will probably end up pregnant now with this burden being lifted...wouldnt that be nice....baby dust to you all...

Oh my gosh you are inspiring me! We have been toying with the idea of approaching my DHs boss but have been too chicken. Message me with the details--you're in Texas, too, right??
CONGRATS!

Congrats on this wonderful news! It's always wonderful when you can have insurance cover IVF...we are very fortunate that our insurance covers the state mandate in Illinois of 4 retrievals in a lifetime. I have no idea how others do it without insurance. Good luck to you.

GREAT WORK! Way to take charge of your situation! I am so happy to hear that your boss was willing to do that...you really used some creative thinking/financing there. I hope you will be sending us good news about a BFP very soon!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
