But you can also switch the insurance coverage to your spouse's if you end up exhausting all the coverage in yours. So it's at least 6 cycles. And normally, if there are no issues that dictate that IVF should be tried right away, you get some number of IUI cycles first, and you would generally have to fail 3 of those to start IVFs.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745262857388007041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214358853640360621.post-8726282617363713772007-11-08T11:42:00.000-05:002007-11-08T11:42:00.000-05:00Your letter is great, Julia.Does mandated coverage...Your letter is great, Julia.<BR/>Does mandated coverage mean that they actually pay all of your IVF cycles etc? I know that it is limited to 3 in Germany, and I haven't figured out the public coverage situation in Spain. Given that private insurances offer fertility treatment in special plans, though, I'm not expecting too much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214358853640360621.post-83160959124607586362007-11-08T10:44:00.000-05:002007-11-08T10:44:00.000-05:00Yeah, your letter is amazing.

Without it, it's extremely likely that I wouldn't have done IVF, wouldn't have conceived the twins, and, obviously, wouldn't have lost them. <BR/><BR/>So, just speaking for myself, the lower financial costs are more than offset by the higher emotional costs. For many people -- in fact for most people -- the balance would probably work out differently.niobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315267454529454063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214358853640360621.post-53927931925168950712007-11-08T09:36:00.000-05:002007-11-08T09:36:00.000-05:00I'm applauding you virtually!
