It is so worth the deduction on taxes. YOu can claim anything above 7 1/2% of your medical costs--i believe(each state might be different). So say you make 10000 a year the first 750 dollars you spend on medical costs you can't claim but the rest you can. If you do use IVF as a deduction make sure ...

Your beta might be a bit low--but i wouldn't be to worried--i know way easier said then done. I have seen alot of ladies with lower betas go on to have perfectly healthy babies.

However, i have learned wiht ivf that each doc and each clinic has their own opinions and ideas. We transferred two day 3 embies and ...

Each state and each ins. policy is different. I would suspect since your tubes are tied that is considered a preexisting condition adn they probably will not cover IVF--but i could be way wrong too. The best thing to do is to call your ins company and talk to them.
I too had my tubes tied after my ...
