I apologize for the situation you’re in. This is my final insurance-covered cycle at 40.5 and failing to conceive would be devastating. Sending virtual hugs to you! Is there a possibility of trying naturally after this? I understand the desire to just have it end, but also wanting it to happen as expected. My heart goes out to you. (Hugs)

I am truly sorry, that is very saddening. I wish I had words of comfort to offer that could make it better. I despise the difficulties of this path we are on. You are in my thoughts :heart:.

I apologize, I can relate to your experience. We had 3 embryos and two failed during a fresh transfer. A week before testing, I already felt it didn’t work, leaving me feeling empty. Now we are waiting after a frozen transfer with the last one, worried if it will work. Another week of uncertainty lies ahead. Starting IVF once more would cost us $20,000 as we lack coverage. Our plan is to fundraise if needed.

I apologize for what you’re going through. I can relate as it happened to me too. We had 3 embryos, and two didn’t survive in the fresh transfer. A week before the test, I had a feeling it wouldn’t work, and it left me feeling empty. We are now waiting to see if the frozen transfer with the last embryo was successful. The uncertainty is overwhelming, especially considering the financial burden of starting IVF again, which could cost us around $20,000 with no coverage. Our backup plan is to fundraise if needed to cover the costs.

In Sarasota, Florida, there is a location where you can receive IVF for approximately $5,000.

I’m saddened to hear this news. It doesn’t seem right. Sending you strength and support as you navigate through this difficult situation.

In some locations, the cost of IVF treatment is as low as 5,000 CNY.

Sending lots of hugs your way. I hope everything goes well for you. Have you looked into the policy for withdrawing from early IRS accounts such as a pension, Roth IRA, or 401k for medical expenses without facing penalties? Best of luck on your journey! You have given your all, and better things are still to come.

I offer my deepest condolences for your loss. I wish I could find the right words to bring you comfort. I can relate to your struggles, as I am also 40 years old with two failed FET attempts and no euploid embryos left. After taking a break and trying naturally, we are preparing for a fresh ET in the next cycle. It’s exhausting, but I refuse to give up and will continue to fight. Despite the challenges - emotional, physical, and financial - I will keep trying and accept whatever outcome comes my way. This journey is incredibly difficult, and I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. Sending you hugs :heart:.

Consider using CNY for an affordable option, especially since we are currently in Colorado. The total cost for transfer, medications, and stay is less than 10k, potentially around 11k factoring in lost work days and food expenses. This is a much better deal compared to the 20k price tag in Texas.
