Tuesday 24th - IVF Finances

I think we must be pretty straightforward patients, just absorbing the information as it comes! It's strange to have to go through the process without having any current fertility issues. It's so great that the service is even offered to us though. I do worry about the cost of it, now that we've switched to being "private" patients at Eve Health. But apparently we're still on the public system for most of it and because it's related to the cancer, a lot is highly discounted. The most expensive thing this side of it will be the "egg pick up" (EPU), which is about $800 plus the anaesthetist's fee. It's nice to know that the government is looking after us financially (as much as possible) during this time.
