Fertility treatment?
I do too.I do...I would love to be able to afford them as I have been infertile for about seven years now. I have only been able to do a little bit in the way of treatments b/c my insurance won't cover them :(fertility treatment??
Well, this is a delicate question because I'm sure the majority of responses you are going to get will run along the lines of "what are you thinking?!"
Why are you concerned about your fertility would be my first question. Do you have irregular periods? A family history of fertility problems? If so then I would definitely suggest talking with your doctor about those things so that you can possibly get on the right road.
To be honest with you, no doctor is going to help you get pregnant at 17. Period. But they can help you figure out your body and reassure you that everything is working properly. I won't lecture you on unprotected sex, you know that schpeel. But I do think if you are mature enough to make that decision, you should definitely be mature enough to talk with your doctor about it. At your age, especially if you are having sex you should be getting pap smears and all that good stuff. An STD now could affect you getting pregnant and becoming a mother later so make sure you are confident that you are both clean by getting checked out by the doctor. Your fertility and health is too valuable to take for granted or let slide out of fear of being judged.

COVERING THE COST OF FERTILITY TREATMENTS
Article by Sheila M. Robinson
Covering the Fertility Treatment Cost
Infertility therapy can be emotionally taxing and a financial burden. The cost of fertility medications can vary, depending on how much patience and what costs are involved. Some insurance plans will cover no infertility services, some pay for all of it and many cover partial infertility services. Factoring in the cost of the consultation visit, fertility medications, and fertility procedures should be taken in to consideration.

First, contact your insurance company and ask if fertility treatments are covered and at what percentage. Second, ask for a list of "in network" fertility specialist. Some third-party insurers provide infertility benefits, however coverage is not universal. In some states, infertility coverage is mandated by law. Insurers usually limit treatment to a distinct number of attempts or place a cap for fertility care.

You can go to an "out of network" provider but the coinsurance will be higher. Third call the list of fertility specialist and ask what the consultation fee is. Some insurance companies do not pay for a consultation fee.
If insurance does not cover your fertility:
Many clinics offer shared risk programs that guarantee a baby. Some fertility centers offer programs that helps make the cost of IVF treatment convenient. With these programs, you pay a single, discounted fee for multiple IVF cycles in advance of treatment. Then, if you don't have a baby, you receive a refund. These programs alleviate you have about the costs associated with IVF treatment and lets you commit to a course of treatment plan in order to increase your chance of success.
There are several companies that offer treatment loans. The ARC Affordable Payment Plan, helps make infertility treatment reasonable; it provides an extended payment program for dividing the cost of treatment into manageable monthly payments. IntegraMed Financial Services also offers healthcare financing for any type of infertility treatment. Beware: The interest rates are usually pretty high and you might be paying for your child until you send him to college.
