So around this time last year, I'd called up UCSF where I'd had my eggs frozen to confirm the annual cost for continuing storage. I'd been quoted $232, which seemed quite reasonable.
Fast-forward to last week when I got a bill for $700.
Nothing to be done except pay out the nose since apparently their policy changed in October of this year, but I was given ZERO notice of the change. It's due on the 16th of this month, and my future children hang in the balance.
Such a lovely time to have to find an extra $470, when I'm under-employed in a pandemic.
Consequently I set up an appointment with a doctor (cuz apparently I can only consult with and have my questions answered by a doctor at the facility) to talk about what next steps I might be able to take and their associated costs. Paying $700 every year I don't have kids isn't maintainable. Not that getting a surrogate will be cheap either. Basically damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Why Not?
