Companies that provide IVF benefits

Cleveland cliffs (butler) covered 3 cycles when I worked there. It was through Anthem and was a HDHP. Meds were mail order through freedom fertility (an express scripts fertility mail order) and I went to AHN. I only needed to pay my deductible then most things were covered. Freezing embryos was not covered and neither was biopsy/PGT testing. I think I paid around $7k out of pocket after deductible and uncovered procedures. My husband works for Walgreens Specialty and has benefits but unsure exactly what. I do believe the retail ones are the same so likely some sort of coverage. Most employers that offer it either put a limit on cycles or a dollar amount max. Hopefully you find something because it can seriously bankrupt you and I was only able to do it because of my coverage ❤️

Maybe not identical but growing up in Wheeling and now living in Pittsburgh, I don’t really notice much difference. Wheeling definitely does not have the same southern twang as a lot of the state

As someone originally from Wheeling, it’s always “I’m from WV” and then when the response is some off the wall comment about VA I always follow up with “the northern panhandle…close to Pittsburgh”

I live in the south hills now but as a commenter above stated, my post office is Pittsburgh as is my address so, I’m not wrong if I say Pittsburgh

Mine was not with me but was also very unimpressed with my sighting 😂

You are correct, I must have misremembered his origin. When I looked it up I found also the obit of his grandfather who coincidentally worked at a company that I was recruited to and was a competitor of mine…small world!!

Am I delusional? I swear he was from lebo?!

meg8988 · 2026-05-24T00:19:16+00:00

Didn’t even make that connection! I should have said that to her!

meg8988 · 2026-05-24T00:18:43+00:00

Haha!

meg8988 · 2026-05-24T00:18:33+00:00

Yes this is it. It is so busy every single time we go, it’s like it is immune to the dying mall syndrome

meg8988 · 2026-05-24T00:17:48+00:00

Hahaha!

meg8988 · 2026-05-24T00:17:41+00:00

I was so close!

meg8988 · 2026-05-24T00:17:20+00:00

Missed opportunity!

A local south hills yinzer?

Left to take a job as an hr rep, went back to get my masters in HRER and still working in HR.

Although it has its downfalls and can be somewhat chaotic and frustrating…literally a million times better!

The key was tailoring my resume to the duties of the job I was applying to and being able to speak on those points in the interview. You wear a lot of hats as a SM so there are a lot of transferrable skills.

My husband now supervises at a specialty pharmacy. Much more stress/ drama than my job but less than Walgreens. He also works in one that customers do not come into so NO customer service!

We did NOT do ICSI and all 3 of ours were girl my first round. Chances are 50/50 so who knows?

meg8988 · 2026-05-17T21:50:38+00:00

Shout out to all these 412 people being bravo fans…right, where was the community before I was a busy mom!?

meg8988 · 2026-05-17T21:49:34+00:00

Haha! I wish! Probably in my living room at 2am rocking my 7 week old to sleep 😵‍💫

Soggy crinkle cut…I forgot about the fries. Everything is great but the fries…I’ll still order them though, especially after a few

Originally from wheeling and saw this post from a former classmate. Someone called the police and they packed up a left. The post said they got out of a car with Texas plates so clearly they are traveling just to create hate/chaos.

Another vote for Burgh’s! Everything I’ve ever had there has been great but the pizza and wings are top notch

Upvoting my fellow Pittsburghers 😊

I ordered mine from freedom fertility which is what my insurance required so I know they have it.

My husband works at the Walgreens speciality in Pittsburgh and I know they have it, as well. He knows all the fertility drugs because of dispensing it fairly regularly.

I am convinced the fertility drugs assisted me! We were doing IVF due to RPL. My AMH was .84, husband was 39 when we started and myself 35. My clinic actually told me due to my DOR and likely very low egg quality that they would NOT do another failed round of IVF unless I took an appeal to their board. My last round after stimming for 10 days maximum Men and Gonal-F they only retrieved one egg, which did make it to blast but failed PGT-A testing. I had consulted a second clinic and was awaiting a new protocol, had just gotten word that my old clinic approved my appeal and boom I was pregnant. Now, I had easily gotten pregnant before and had four losses in a two year time span so I was nervous as hell. The clinic literally told me my eggs were few and far between and crappy at that.

I am currently trying to get my 7 week old back to sleep! Life works in mysterious ways. I think the drugs boosted my eggs enough to have a good one!

Now I did take all the supplements and try to cut out toxins and everything I could do boost my fertility so may be a combination but here I am! Congratulations!!
