Fertility Issues

Just curious if anyone out there has had to go through In-Vitro fertilization to conceive their children. My wife and I have exhausted 3 years in the futile attempt at having children. Not to complain, the trying was the best part. Now we have contacted a fertility specialist and are about to start our first round of in-vitro.

I was just wanting to know if anyone has had a personal experience with this.

P.S. This s*** is costing so much money, the kid better do something spectacular with their life. I have to laugh at my insurance company over this one. If I wanted I can get the insurance company to cover gastric bypass and medication that will give me an erection for 4 days, but when it comes to issues of fertility, that is considered a non-essential procedure. Go figure.
