This is costing HOW MUCH?!?

Ya know...when you space the spending out you don't really get the big picture of just how much making a baby costs for the LGBT community. You also don't realize the enormous costs when you are using a KD and trying at home. Sophia was fairly inexpensive to make, basically just the cost of a hotel and if you want to throw in the OPKs and other incidentals to get the sperm to the egg...totalled less than $250.

I am going to break down what we have spent for this ONE cycle using the help of Dr. Fast talker. Excuse me while I pass out for a minute.

OK let's do this.

Femara - $4
Progesterone - $40
HCG Shot - $90
Bloodwork - we think the hospital Court works for covered these charges.
Sperm - $350
Overnight Shipping - $314
Ultrasounds - $470
IUI - $250
Dr. Fast Talker - $255
TOTAL - $1,773

All we can say is thank goodness we just got our tax refunds back, and we don't have to put these costs on a credit card...we are trying to make a baby, not go into more debt.

This is the main part that SUCKS TTC as a gay couple. But we want to grow our family, and this is what it takes to do that. So we will do it.

Let's hope this is a one and done go with the RE :)

Baby Dust!
