[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 608670"] She should apply for insurance thru the new exchanges. Illinois is one of the few states mandated insurance coverage for infertility treatment. She will likely qualify for a full or partial subsidy of premiums if her income isn't great. The premium cost will be far less than even a basic infertility work up out of pocket. Has she been diagnosed w PCOS? It has a lot if symptoms including weight gain, body & facial hair, thinning head hair, cystic acne, menstrual irregularities... There are many things to rule out before contemplating PCOS and the VERY FIRST STEP is HIM. A semen analysis is the place a work up starts. Least invasive, lowest cost test first -- and the procedures build from there. Next step is a metabolism blood panel measuring hormone & thyroid function and those results may or may not direct further testing. We desperately wanted a 4th babe & I conceived my first 3 super fast. I had a work up after years of trying because I was concerned that my infertility could indicate a medical condition. We paid for the work up out of pocket because WI does not mandate infertility coverage. It was nearly 10k just for the work up and that was 10 years ago. We never did get answers & I didn't opt for infertility treatments beyond clomid. Encourage her to consider becoming insured first. [/QUOTE]
