Infertility Insurance Posted: 10-10-07 17:06pm
Since I have been on my journey to
motherhood; I have learned so much about
my body. Although things I am learning
now, I should have been looking into a
long time ago. Fortunately, I am now; and
now hopefully isn't too late.
One thing i have noticed is that
infertility is really, really more common
than I would have ever thought. I just
read a story the other day by an MSNBC
reporter who is personally going through
'infertility'. I don't quote the term to
lower its importance. Rather, because the
term 'infertility' includes such a large
host of complex possibilities.
There are things I just never knew about!
My periods have never been regular but I
never knew that could I wasn't ovulating.
I thought since I was at least getting a
period; then I was releasing an egg every
month. I am finding out this is not the
case; and also I am not the only one who
had that mindset.
Being able to start looking for patterns
in my basal body temperature has made me
more aware of this monthly change in my
body. I haven't quite been tracking it a
month and I am already able to make some
observations.
Generally speaking:
To have a baby, you have to have an egg.
To have an egg, you have to 'ovulate' one.
If you have sex between the time the egg
is released and it dies, you will get
pregnant. That is a very, very, very,
very plain way of explaining conception.
But if you break each part down you have
an enormous event where the pieces must
fit just right for it work.
Looking in forums and blogs, I have see
that conception is a mystery to those
without the education and/or financing to
understand it - including me. I started
wondering why isn't this area deemed
important enough in society for there to
be easier access to diagnosing and
treating.
I have Googled, Asked, Live Searched,
Excitedly searched 'infertility insurance'
until the word 'infertility' didn't look
right anymore.
Does anyone know of a company that offers
insurance for infertility? Not a health
plan that covers some things. But how
Geico is to car insurance - is there any
company that is dedicated to helping
people with costs due to infertility?
Please if you read this, respond and ask
your friends, mothers, sisters, daughters.

I don't believe there is a company like
that. There are finance companies that you
can go through though. Most reproductive
endocrinologists have a finance company
that they work with it.
