Don’t have fertility issues but was browsing my coverage for some other stuff and went down a rabbit hole. I have really really good health insurance that is probably better than 99% of Americans so I’m sure it’s true for everyone else. This is honestly super sad considering I have several coworkers that battled with infertility and spend THOUSANDS of dollars out of pocket to finally have their children. But they’ll pay for you to mutilate your body and even fly you to have the procedure done. Unbelievable.

Yep. My wife and I have been struggling with infertility since we got married. So far she's had laparoscopy for endometriosis, 3 round of clomid and shots, experimental platelet rich plasma treatments, a d we're currently looking at stem cell injections. So far we've spent probably $50,000 out of pocket, and the stem cell cycle combined with invitro will probably cost another $50,000. Also, the general lack of research surrounding female fertility is appalling.
