She posted over on mine and told me about your 50 Good Deeds thing (because of a similar post I made yesterday). I think its awesome. Its something that really gets my goat as well, and I'd love to do it as well. I think I just might. Theres so little we can do in the grand scheme of things, but so much little, if you know what I mean. Well Done on sticking to it, the world need more like you.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000365791603789983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25184159.post-89804318616075276422007-01-26T05:02:00.000+10:002007-01-26T05:02:00.000+10:00LOL, that's exactly what I was planning to say the...LOL, that's exactly what I was planning to say the next time one of those pesky environmentalists harrassed me over a subscription.

I am lining up two more IUI's and then In Vitro with ICSI if all esle fails. And I have no clue as to how I am paying for all of it! Have you been onto So Close blog? It's a South African woman who had 9 IVF's. I think you're very brave and wish you success!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602506060731650727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25184159.post-22704982078435976902007-01-25T23:34:00.000+10:002007-01-25T23:34:00.000+10:00I understand.

Aside from being cheaper, you're not stressed out being in a different country and you'll be surrounded by family and friends. The treatments are stressful enough. So it would be better to be around comfortable and familiar surroundings.<br />So go were you know would be less stressful and more familiar. And yes, nothings beats full coverage! I'm excited for you already.Baby Blueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09283845137728737575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25184159.post-28369390288050037312007-01-25T22:03:00.001+10:002007-01-25T22:03:00.001+10:00But thanks!

And Babyblues - thanks for the thought also, but...<br /><br />Nothing's going to beat full insurance coverage.<br /><br />The FET all-up is costing about AUD$800-900 out of pocket. (That's $600-700 US.) It gets cheaper once we reach the medicare "safety net" and our annual insurance excess limit. I'm thinking you can't beat that.<br /><br />Also, transporting the embryos.<br /><br />BeaBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877513815828460269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25184159.post-33549918755910002232007-01-25T21:30:00.000+10:002007-01-25T21:30:00.000+10:00I have friends who went to Singapore for their fir...I have friends who went to Singapore for their first IVF treatment. Unfortunately it didn't work. A few months after they got back, they found an abdominal mass on her and they had to remove it including one of her ovaries. They were devastated. So with just one ovary, they decided to try again, this time, here in the Philippines. Now they have twin boys! If you're interested in doing it here, I think it's nearer to Singapore than Australia, just a three hour plane ride. And it's a lot cheaper too.Baby Blueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09283845137728737575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25184159.post-8554924970910604812007-01-25T20:43:00.000+10:002007-01-25T20:43:00.000+10:00I am new to your blog site.

We have a wonerful clinic here in South Africa that does IVF with ICSI amongst other things. Not sur of the exchange rate, but I know that a lot of Europeans come out here as our docs are brilliant and it works out a lot cheaper for them.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602506060731650727noreply@blogger.com
