Your planning tools

Check your own figures

Use these page-specific checks to work through inputs that can materially change the decision. They supplement the decision framework and do not predict approval or replace a lender’s written disclosures.

Eligibility & Route Input Worksheet

Live results from your figures.Open

The primary comparison separates each treatment stage and vendor. It prevents a clinic retrieval quote from being mistaken for the full IVF journey and keeps recurring or optional services visible.

Add the separately priced items and subtract confirmed offsets. Compare written totals on the same scope; deposits already included in the price are not an extra cost.

Planning only. These calculations use your inputs, do not check live provider terms and do not establish approval or available funding. Nothing entered here is saved or sent to a lender.

Comparison Item Check

Live results from your figures.Open

ASRM describes refund or risk-sharing programs as higher upfront packages that can include multiple cycles and return part or all of defined fees when the stated success outcome is not achieved. These programs can reduce financial uncertainty, but screening and medication are often outside the package, eligibility can be selective, and success in an early cycle can make the package more expensive than pay-as-you-go.

Add the separately priced items and subtract confirmed offsets. Compare written totals on the same scope; deposits already included in the price are not an extra cost.

Program Check

Program	Current official structure	Decision guardrail
Shady Grove Shared Risk	Current program says eligible patients may pursue up to 6 IVF or donor-egg cycles and subsequent FETs for a flat amount, with a 100% refund if the program-defined take-home-baby outcome is not achieved; exclusions and eligibility apply.	Get the exact written inclusions, eligibility, withdrawal, medication, storage and refund conditions. Do not treat 100% as all fertility spending.
ARC cycle packages	ARC currently lists one-, two- and three-cycle packages, clinic-specific package availability, pharmacy options and an ARC Success Refund Program. ARC says not every member clinic offers every package.	Use the actual clinic package quote; identify whether medications, PGT, storage and external vendors are outside it.
ARC Success Refund	Current ARC program describes up to 2 retrievals/4 transfers or 3 retrievals/6 transfers depending on package, with refund of remaining unused cycles after Current birth under program terms⁵.	This is not the same as a full no-baby refund. Compare exact refund trigger and unused-cycle value.

Eligibility & Route Input Worksheet — 2

Live results from your figures.Open

This comparison compares cash exposure under one, two and three retrieval scenarios. It does not predict how many cycles a patient needs. The clinic and CDC tools can inform discussion, but the result remains uncertain and patient-specific.

Calculate the actual amount still needed before this deadline, after confirmed coverage, reductions, arrangements and available cash.

Each offset must be separate, confirmed and available in time. Do not subtract insurance, a discount or assistance twice. Expected money arriving later belongs in a timing/bridge calculation. A payment plan changes timing; it does not erase the debt.

IRS Publication 502 currently lists IVF, including temporary storage of eggs or sperm, as an includible medical expense when performed to overcome an inability to have children for the taxpayer, spouse or dependent. Surrogacy expenses paid for an unrelated gestational surrogate are not included under that rule. Tax-free HSA/FSA reimbursement and an itemized deduction cannot be claimed twice for the same expense.

Frequently asked questions

What is an IVF loan?

Generally personal financing for verified fertility-treatment costs; the clinic controls medical decisions.

What costs should I include?

Clinic, medication, monitoring, lab/testing, anesthesia, transfer, storage and relevant travel/other vendors.

Does a fertility benefit reduce the gap?

Only after eligible services, authorization, amount and timing are confirmed.

Are package/refund programs always cheaper?

No; compare written cost, inclusions, eligibility, exclusions and refund triggers.

Can this page estimate success?

No; it must not turn population data into personal odds.

Should I borrow for another possible cycle?

Use a labeled stress scenario, not a prediction or automatic principal.

When should I stop?

Stop when cost/benefit/contract facts are incomplete, clinical conclusions are implied or budget fails.

Quick calculator

Payment & total-cost check

Actual APR, fees, payment timing and total repayment come from the provider's written disclosures. Add origination or other required fees separately where applicable.

Assumes a fixed contract interest rate, equal monthly payments and no balloon payment. Do not use fee-inclusive APR as the interest rate. A deducted fee reduces cash received; other fees and payment-date differences can change the lender’s final figures.

Notes & explanations

How fees affect the comparison. A fee may be deducted from the amount sent to you, financed into the balance, or paid separately. These treatments change the comparison differently. Check the written disclosure and count each charge once. ↩ Back to text
Expected reimbursement is not cash today. Verify what the policy covers, any deductible or limit, and when reimbursement could arrive. Until confirmed, keep an expected payment separate from cash already available for the bill. ↩ Back to text
Check the full cost of the planned cycle. A quoted fertility treatment package may not include every medication, test, storage charge or later procedure. Ask the clinic for an itemized scope and payment dates before deciding which amount needs financing. ↩ Back to text
Keep the scope and price together. An estimate should identify what is included, what might be billed separately and when payment is due. Financing an incomplete quote can leave a second cash gap even after the loan is funded. ↩ Back to text
Term versus contract terms. The loan term is the time allowed for repayment. “Terms” can also mean the complete agreement, including fees, due dates and other conditions. Changing the repayment period does not change all of those conditions automatically. ↩ Back to text
Money actually available to use. Here, net proceeds means the cash left after any amount withheld from the loan at disbursement. A $1,000 principal with a $100 deducted fee leaves $900 to use; the debt is not automatically reduced to $900. ↩ Back to text

★★★★☆

Solid overall

I had been putting it off, but I needed to cover a health expense before my next paycheck, so I finally started looking. I liked that I could stop and read before moving to the next screen. I didn't finish everything in one sitting, which I actually preferred. I took a few minutes and compared the cost with another option I had open. I called because I wanted to make sure I understood the next step. No pressure, just an explanation. The wording on one question could be a little clearer. One email took longer to come through than I expected.

Did what I needed

I wasn't planning on applying for anything, but I had a medical bill come up. I went through it after work and didn't have any trouble following the steps. I started on a Saturday morning, which was convenient for me. I had to think about the payment overnight before I was comfortable. Simple enough, and honestly that was all I wanted.

Read the numbers first

For context, I was trying to catch up without missing another bill. That's why I checked Just Right Loans. I liked that I could stop and read before moving to the next screen. From start to the point where I could review things, it felt fairly quick. I liked being able to think about the total cost instead of just the loan amount. It wasn't perfect but nothing major went wrong. Overall I felt like I could make the decision without being pushed.

Straightforward process

I came across Just Right Loans because I needed to cover a health expense before my next paycheck. I had my info ready, so the form moved quickly. I wasn't interested in borrowing more than I could realistically pay back. I had to think about the payment overnight before I was comfortable. Simple enough, and honestly that was all I wanted.

Better than I expected

Just Right Loans was one of a few sites I checked after I was trying to catch up without missing another bill. I've used online loan sites before and this one felt less cluttered. I wasn't in a rush to click accept. I wanted to know what the payment would do to my month. The experience was better than I expected.
