I, Ashley, have created this blog in hopes of not only helping our best friends struggle through infertility but also to help raise awareness!
Our best friend and her husband have been struggling to conceive their very first child for 3+ years. They have tried naturally; they’ve tried with fertility medicines, and even IUI’s. Unfortunately none of these have been successful. The time has now come for them to be sent to an actual fertility clinic.
They will have to travel to Austin ( which is about 1.5 hours from where we live) several times a month to go and see a specialist. When the word FERTILITY clinic was mentioned, we could see the fear in their faces and the hurt in their hearts. This was a step we were all hoping they would never have to take. They are extremely excited but also scared for that next step and chapter in their lives. The cost of an infertility clinic is outrageous. Insurance will not cover a dime!!
Just to put into perspective a general estimate for the clinic is as follows:The initial consultation can cost up to $900. They will have to pay for ultrasounds ($150) ,blood work ($125) & actual procedures will range from $300-$20,000 as well as shots she will have to take which can cost up to $1000 each round of shots…keep in mind sometimes it takes more than one round.
We have created a Pifer Bean Fundraiser in hopes to help The Pifers through this infertility journey!! We will be selling wristbands & key chains to help raise money for their upcoming fertility clinic appointment in July. Not only do we want to help the Pifer's but this will also help spread the awareness of infertility.
