I would like to have Lasik so I could actually see, but that is still sm

considered an elective or experimental procedure by most companies and is not covered.  I guess eyesight is optional nowadays too.  My insurance covers a bit of it, but not near enough to make it feasible for me.  I'm 20/400 in my left eye -- my ophthalmologist asked me to call him and warn him if I go out driving without my contacts (smile)

I truly hope you find a company that will cover at least the most expensive parts of  the IVF.  I have friends who want a baby and cannot seem to achieve that goal, and my heart goes out to them, as it does to you.  Good luck!
