Hi Cherie & Baby Wish,

I just had an appointment with my specialist to discuss this all on Tuesday. We are Brisbane based. My DH & I were thinking it would be way out of our budget (sounds awful planning a baby around a budget but after 4 yrs to TTC and 6 months of no success on clomid & IUI we have had to seriously consider it)...well we were pleasantly surprised. Looks like we will only be out of pocket about $1600 for IVF (my understanding it is extra for ICSI) that is only if everything goes according to the plan our specialist has set out for us. The killer is the initial outlay of $4400 to the QFG upfront. This includes most costs including drugs etc and is all claimable.
Sorry I cannot be more specific but I'm at work and have left on the paper work at home (not something I want to go brandishing around the office)
If I remember I'll post from home this weekend.
Cheers
Happy Easter
