Any inf would be great. Thanks!

Last year the cost was about $4200 per cycle. That's not cheap, but a LOT cheaper than getting it done with a civilian specialist (I wish I had known about this when we were trying for our son) I hope this still helps. Good Luck with everything.

I guess it depends on whether you are in the military or not...The only airforce base that offers invitro is Lackland Airforce Base in Texas. They have a year waiting list ...I dont know of any for free. At lackland you have to pay $5,000 and thats basicly for the meds.Its still alot cheaper then civilian rates.Last time I knew it was harder for dependents to get on the waiting list. We are at the same crossroads on whether to adopt or go thru invitro. Invitro is such an emotional roaler coaster...I dont know!
