632 6:36 pm PDT, Aug 9   Female Pennsylvania United States No. My husband and I are both carriers of Cf.    
631 6:16 pm PDT, Jul 28 Mrs. Female Georgia United States Yes, I suffer with tubal malformation and have a high chance of ectopic pregnancy. My husband and I have been trying for more than 6 years with no pregnancies.  
630 7:58 pm PDT, Jul 24   Female Florida United States yes i Do suffer from infertility. i feel like this condition is like any other but it is overlooked by so Many. We deserve a chance to start a famaliy and not to have to pay for a condition we did Not Ask to have! someone please HELP US!  
629 5:00 pm PDT, Jul 23   Male Pennsylvania United States My wife and I are currently dealing with the strain of struggling to have a baby. We have already gone through 1 IVF cycle and were unsuccessful. Currently, we cannot afford another cycle.    
628 1:12 am PDT, Jul 17 Mrs. Female Tennessee United States I was diagnosed with PCOS in 1995. I have been battling reproductive issues ever since, and trying to concieve since September of 2006. www.soulcysters.net
627 8:38 am PDT, Jul 16 Mrs. Female Missouri United States Yes - I suffer from PCOS and my husband has a low sperm count. The only treatment that is available for our condition is IVF which is not covered by our insurance. If I were to have an abortion and kill a living being, then my insurance would pay for that. I believe that if abortion is covered then IVF should be covered as well.    
626 10:25 am PDT, Jul 2 Mrs. Female Tennessee United States Yes    
625 12:11 pm PDT, Jun 28   Male Virginia United States n/a    
624 12:09 pm PDT, Jun 28   Female Virginia United States n/a    
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.    
622 6:50 am PDT, Jun 1 Mrs. Female Florida United States I have had one successful pregnancy, but have been trying for a second child for nearly 2years. Have had 3 unsuccessful IUIs which I've had to pay out of pocket. :(    
621 4:09 pm PDT, May 28 Mrs. Female Florida United States YES, I have PCOS... I believe if you diagnosed with female health problem such as PCOS, insurance should cover the negative side affects it brings to a women.    
620 3:57 pm PDT, May 27 Mrs. Female Georgia United States Yes, I have PCOS and have been unable to get pregnant for over 6 years. Had an IUI done but it was unsuccessful theafa.org, asrm.com, fertilehope.org, resolve.org, chattanoogafertility.com  
619 9:00 pm PDT, Apr 12 Mrs. Female Kentucky United States Yes I have PCOS and have been unable to conceive while I have to watch young teenagers around me have tons of children that I pay for with my tax money. I am very upset that my health insurance company which I pay a lot of money for will not cover any infertility treatments and I do not think it's right.    
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.  
617 11:17 pm PST, Feb 23 Mrs. Female California United States I have suffered from infertility since I was a teenager and since I have been married I've wanted to start a family but can't due to infertility and can't afford IVF because my health insurance does not chose to include infertility insurance as an option to their employees. We need help to pay for something that all women have the right to have and that is a child!    
616 10:19 am PST, Feb 23 Mr. Male Tennessee United States Yes My wife and I have been going through this for four years now and it is hell. NO ONE should have to endure this.
615 5:21 pm PST, Feb 22 Mrs. Female Florida United States yes    
614 8:15 pm PST, Feb 10 Mrs. Female Illinois United States yes    
613 6:36 am PST, Feb 9 Ms. Female Florida United States Yes    
612 10:50 am PST, Jan 31   Female Louisiana United States YES... I have had 2 tubal pregnacies and had to have both tubes removed. The second one just happened three weeks ago and I have cried everday since. The only way that my husband and I will be able to have a baby is IVF... which we can't afford. So i'll keep praying for a miracle.    
611 7:50 pm PST, Jan 28 Ms. Female Illinois United States Yes, I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 18 years old.    
610 11:45 am PST, Jan 25 Mrs. Female Ohio United States Yes, male and female factors.    
609 4:23 pm PST, Jan 20 Ms. Female California United States yes I've been trying for 9 yrs. In 1999 I had a tubel pregnancy and again I had another in 2005 loosing both fallopian tubes.  
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...    
604 3:30 pm PST, Nov 23 Ms. Female Michigan United States yes    
603 6:30 pm PST, Nov 21 Mrs. Female Idaho United States yes, it is by far the worst thing my husband and I have ever gone through    
602 4:24 pm PST, Nov 18 Mrs. Female Virginia United States YES    
601 8:18 am PST, Nov 12 Mrs. Female New York United States yes    

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!
