The Cost of TTC

Here I'm going to track the costs involved with our TTC journey. I'm not going to include the four failed TTC cycles from 2011, as I never got around to tracking all of the money I spent on testing sticks, insem supplies, and of course the sperm shipments - but I will say that it was in excess of $3000.
