Baby~amore` is doing well
Default

Just to add my costs -Westmead Fertility Centre

Ist full stim cycle $1300
(including Synarel $100 -not claimable)
(Plus BCP $30 approx)

Medicare refund $ 585 approx but we had already a bit of safety net threshold covered

So Out of pocket (OOP)$715 ($745 with BCP)

(BTW - if full medicare rebate claimed OOP is approx $340)

1st FET - $500
Medicare refund $412.35 (we reached threshold on 1st stim cycle)
OOP - $82.65

I added this because I know some people think IVF is out of reach with high costs but it is afordable.

If you need ICSI on stim cycle - it adds another $500 with most of which is not claimable on medicare $100).
