New Grandbaby Program Will Help Grandparents Help Fund Their Child's IVF

Fighting fertility problems can be overwhelming for future parents – emotionally and financially. And the support of the family can make all the difference.

To help grandparents cover the costs of in vitro fertilization (IVF), Future Family has put in place a "Grandbaby Plan".

This plan allows prospective grandparents or other family members to take out a loan for IVF and egg freezing, paid directly to their child's fertility clinics.

Future Family's funding offers cover clinic visits and procedures (including egg retrieval, fertilization and transfer); medication; lab work; and fertility coaching 24 hours a day. The level of care is as complete as the fertility sector has ever been, and it's a great way for grandparents to contribute to the next generation.

From a typical price of between $ 300 and $ 475 per month over five years, each plan depends on your credit score and the prices charged by the clinic. Some may be much more expensive than others, but it is not unusual that a successful IVF pregnancy costs more than $ 60,000.

Many embryo transfers note "take" on the first try, and when they do, it's still not guaranteed to survive until the second trimester (when all other pregnancy costs start to s & # 39; accumulate).

The good news is that many cycles of IVF can produce more than one healthy "embryo" (a fertilized embryo that can be frozen after cell division and taken back naturally during thawing and returned to the uterus).

With several stepladders on the ice, you basically have a whole pipeline of grandchildren on the deck, and your child will not have to endure the difficult (and expensive) part of their creation.
