I dont see how having numberous IUI's means your rich. I happen to have
an insurance that pays for all my fertility. And I dont quite think its
socialized medicine. Unless Cigna happens to be one?
Also, where did you come up with 5%? If it only had that much of a
sucess rate, wouldn't you think the dr's would find something else and
stop charging the insurances? Also, I have MANY friends who have gotten
pregnant with IUI, I dont see how it could be 5% unless MOST of my
fertility friends fall under that. Im curious where you came up with
your number.
