The Financial Challenge

The Case of the Disappearing Bank Account

Infertility medicine is a lucrative field because treatment can go on indefinitely and because many desperate couples believe money is no object as they try to resolve their infertility. New discoveries are always in the news, tempting infertile couples to gamble on yet another potential solution. Thus, infertility can pose an economic crisis for infertile couples.

You may want to consider establishing an “infertility budget” to guide your decisions about what medical procedures you’ll pursue. Will you go into debt, if necessary, to pay for infertility treatment? How much debt? Will you ask family members for the money or go to a bank? Some medical expert will always offer one more promising treatment or medicine. It’s best to remember the old adage of “buyer beware,” difficult as it may be and desperate as you may feel. Ask the doctor and read up on the “odds” that a particular treatment will “pay off.” The U.S. government tracks success rates for infertility-medicine centers across the nation. Visit the resources mentioned at the end of this pamphlet to find out more.

Also ask yourself, “Would the money be better spent in pursuit of an adoption?”
