Response to Re: If you have insurance coverage, how does it work for DE?

I did an IVF cycle with my own eggs October of last year. Had 7 embryos & PGD testing showed chromosome abnormalities in all of them. They also all grew abnormally. We did a DE cycle with a different clinic (ours didn't offer financing) in January this year. She was a 21 year old proven donor with her own child. She gave us 13 eggs, 10 were mature. I requested ICSI be done because we got good results with it the first time. The doctor said DH's SA was adequate so it wasn't warranted. Only 4 of the 10 fertilized, then they all stopped growing. No explanations or offers for a discounted cycle. We were devastated. The donor cycle was financed through the ARC program. Looking back, I wish we had gone to a different clinic. Hindsight is 20/20 I suppose.

So now that he has some coverage, I'm rethinking the donor cycle in case our second & probably final FET with donor embryos is a bust.
