My DH has a good job. I have known of people doing this that make very little though. It's about what you can save and what things you can cut back on. There's always a credit card too. Works like a loan essentially. And finally, some people are able to use insurance even when infertility is not an issue.

Added a poll for you. I'm not sure if the Dream Member gals will see it here but we can try!

So far have spent all our savings and now borrowed $10,000 off Mum. On very slightly above average Aussie income. Only slightly though.

Gizmo, are you thinking about HT in the future?

Just out of interest how much roughly does it cost?

**nuthinbutpink** · November 25th, 2012, 08:30 AM

$11,200 at HRC plus medication. They are on the more affordable end. I paid closer to $15,000 which is closer to average.

How much were the meds nuthinbutpink? x

I cycled at a different clinic close to home. $11,200 is HRC's price. Meds range from $1500 to $5000 maybe. The difference for Meds is due to how high the dosage of stims it takes to get your ovaries to respond. They are very expensive.

Wow, that is a lot of money! xx
