I am pretty sure we are going with NJIVF. I called today to get an estimate as to the cost. It looks like it is going to be around $13,000 which includes ICSI which we will probably need. I did a search on other DR.'s on my plan and noone else seems to have the success rates or quality of practice that IVFNJ has. Mare, Dr. T said she would not use bcp or lupron on me. You know if I go in for a consult with East Coast they won't even listen so I feel why waste my breath. Plus she is going to start me on 10 amps where EC does 8 amps max. I just think with my low egg reserve that I have to go with my gut feeling and not worry about the money. My DH agrees but I feel bad since I don't work! I guess I am just looking for some reassurance that I should just go for it and not worry. I feel I will get what I paid for. We will probably cash in some stocks and if we pay for this we will not be living in the street. What do you think???

It is hard for me to say what I would have done. I have NJPlus. Everything I have had done is covered.. from the $700 consultation on down...

I can say I like IVFNJ... I only had to go to somerset once on a Sunday and it was Dr. Natofsky and I was comfortable cause I had met him already...

Personnally I believe you get what you pay for/or is paid for LOL. I am glad I chose them over another group that is in my plan...
