This is a YouTube video titled "Doctor's $100,000 IVF Fertility Journey #doctor #physicianfinance #financialplanning #fertility" containing an English conversation recorded in June 2024. The discussion features Jim Dahle and another speaker talking about the financial and emotional challenges of undergoing IVF treatment to start a family, highlighting the high costs and personal impact of the process.

The cost of having kids as professionals and this is a big deal and you spend a long time in training and then you finally get around to starting a family in your 30s and it doesn't always happen.
That got expensive pretty quickly just with the testing we did wind up going down the IVF path. Also also expensive. Not only is it expensive but you know, it's not a guaranteed thing. You know that thankfully was was finally successful and we had a son in late 2021 and we are immensely grateful and happy that our IVF TR journey was successful. But you know, that was a trying time, you know, for both me and my wife.
How much did you spend from the time you started until your son was born?
I don't know, 100% for sure, but really adds up. So I think in the end probably you're looking close to $100,000.
Yeah. And nothing covered by insurance.
Correct.
