| 623 | 6:36 am PDT, Jun 8 | Mrs. | Female | Florida | United States | I suffer from PCOS and have gone through two IVF cycles with successful pregnancies only to lose otherwise healthy babies to an incompetent cervix. My current insurance covers IUI which is not appropriate for my condition due to the fact that you can not control the amount of embryo’s your body creates. This puts the mother and babies at potential risks and in the end cost the insurance company more money. IVF is the only safe procedure for my situation and others like me. It is a procedure that should be covered. | |

||
| 618 | 4:01 pm PDT, Mar 11 | Mrs. | Female | Missouri | United States | yes | We just had our first unsuccesful ivf and have to wait 2 year to do it again due to the cost. It was the most devastating thing I have ever gone through. | |

We need help to pay for something that all women have the right to have and that is a child! | |

| 608 | 7:27 pm PST, Dec 30 | Mrs. | Female | Virginia | United States | Yes, for the past five years we have been struggling with Infertility...we want to have a child more than anything, but our state insurance policy does not provide for any assistance at all. Please help us have a child! | |
||
| 607 | 10:31 am PST, Dec 3 | Mrs. | Female | Ohio | United States | Yes and it is unethical that the State Of Ohio does not require for any infertilty to be covered by medical. There is something medically wrong and it is already depressing, stressful on a daily basis and puts a strain on your marriage and then to top if all off the financial burden. How can the legislative pick and choose what states can cover infertility? It is like playing GOD. How is that fair to women? Becuase depending on what state you live in determines what is covered by your medical coverage. Because I live in Ohio I may not ever become blessed with a baby because I can't afford IVF. We as Human Beings should not be denied the most blessed thing if life to reproduce a child. We were put on this earth and all dream of getting married and having children. So how can this be if the State of Ohio and many others does not cover infertility. It is so not right. I cry all the time and just think of how this could be in the world today of rights and opportunities that i have no right by my insurance company to try to have a baby. I have to scape together money to cover my meds, IUI's, ultra soulds and other testing and shots. I have to pick and choose if I can pay a bill or have a baby. Some times I just want to curl up and die. What is more important in life than having a baby. I am going to help get this law changed in all states for me and for future mothers. How can we be denied this right? How can my insurance make me feel that there is something wrong with me and they do not cover it. That is like saying that I have cancer and they won't help cure me. How can they play GOD? I heard that 1 in every 6 women have trouble conceiving. How about if they don't have any money to get anything done about their infertility? How is this justified? I just don't understand. Please help me and all the other woman that feel scorned and punished for having infertility problems. |  |

| 606 | 1:51 pm PST, Nov 26 | Ms. | Female | Virginia | United States | Yes, absolutely. Found out my insurance carriers at work (3 of them!) do not cover any services. Across the river in Maryland, it's a statutory requirement. I think this is just downright awful in this era of equality. Isn't male ED covered? Come on... | |
||
| 605 | 12:33 pm PST, Nov 24 | Mrs. | Female | California | United States | yes I do. I have been dealing with it for more than 10 years now... | |

Make IVF covered by all health insurance Companies in all States
There are people out there popping kids out left and right that never wanted them in the first place. People... or should I say ANIMALS that are getting pregnant, having abortions or leaving them to die.
Then there are people out there, like me, who struggle just to have a family of there own. There are others out there like myself that have a disease called Endometriosis or any other infertility problem that struggle to have children of there own.
I feel that insurance companies should help in paying for IVF and other treatments to those who are struggling. IVF is so exspensive there for there are couples who wont do it. Myself, along with others, are not financally set or are but could never afford something like this with out help. I refuse to get a hystorectomy and will forever keep trying for a child. My treatments are costing the health insurance company. If they would just pay for the IVF then it wouldn't be costing them so much for everything else the doctores are putting me through to help me become preganent in other ways. It has been over 7 years now and I have had 9 surgeries along with many other treatments and medication.
THINK ABOUT IT!
