The Money

This is where I start to break down the amount of money we have spent so far - out of pocket, and paid by insurance.

I managed to get quite a lot covered at the beginning because of my endometriosis, and a bout of possible PID, plus the fact that we hadn't been trying yet (I just had suspicions it wasn't going to be easy).  It has helped quite a bit.  I've marked in light green where we start to go completely out of pocket.

Below our costs so far are the estimated costs and fees from the RE.
