Gaia funding / insurance? Any recent reviews

[ttcsolomummytobe]

Hi, I'm looking to start my fertility journey again soon, moving from IUI to IVF. Gaia popped up on my Facebook feed so wondered if anyone had recent experiences with them? Noticed a post from 4 months ago and 8 months ago but thought I'd see if more people have tried it. Thanks in advance

Hi tccsolomummytobe,

I wish I could help but I’m in the same situation. Our first IVF round failed with two chemical FET transfers and now we’re considering how to finance the next round. We looked at Gaia but for some reason weren’t totally convinced as it feels like you could end up paying a lot more than if you went directly, but we do need to look into it more. There is also Access Fertility which work with a handful of clinics so might be worth looking into that as well. It’s all such a minefield isn’t it? Hope someone else can provide a better answer for you x

Hi Pintu88, yea it really is a minefield and starting to look at figures/rounds/packages fills me with dread and like I don't want to do it but obviously need to. Yes I found that will Gaia, how I read it it suggests you only pay the insurance figure up front until you have a baby but they guarantee you for a certain amount of cycles and if you don't complete them then you have to pay the full amount anyways and if you don't have a baby you've only paid the insurance but the costings did seem more than with the clinic directly and meds are included but not sure what happens if you have to be given additional ones etc. So much to think about. Hope you get the answers you need any next cycle is a success for you x
