Infertility is very common. There are lots of treatments available. The total amount you will have to pay will depend on the reason you are infertile.
You need to know that you are not alone. There are plenty of support groups out there and I highly recommend joining one. You may also wish to see a therapist to discuss how infertility is affecting you. It's also important to know that infertility occurs in women and men. So if you suspect infertility is the cause behind not being able to conceive a child you need to know it may be something that is directly related to you or your partner. A lot of times a woman will automatically rush to judgment and assume it's something with her physically that is causing the problem. This is not always the case that is why it is so important to speak to your physician.
Depending on what is causing the infertility your doctor may start giving a woman injections of fertility drugs to help increase the amount of eggs that are released during ovulation. These can costs from several hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars depending on the length and success timeframe of the treatment. Perhaps the man is not producing enough sperm. There are several ways to improve sperm count including something as simple as lowering the man's body temperature around the groin area.
Costs will increase steadily if you need more in depth treatment such as egg implantation or if you choose to use a surrogate if you are unable to carry a child on your own. Again it is important to remember that most health insurance companies will not assist in offsetting the costs of these treatments. You need to be prepared not only emotionally but financially as well because having to go through infertility treatments can be draining on your spirit and your pocketbook.
Should you and your physician determine that you would not be able to conceive through the available treatments, there are other options available to you. You need to keep an open heart and mind. Infertility can, in most cases, can be treated successfully. However, in some cases there will not be a successful treatment for you. This is where doing more research and talking to others who are experiencing the same thing can be most beneficial. As time continues more and more research will be done on the cause of infertility and more treatments will become available.
