I *might* for 30/month, and there's a good chance I would for 20. You have to balance that versus having too many people for the amount, but since I have no reason to suspect fertility issues, I would be doing it for altruistic reasons (mostly, also partly to cover my ass if things went badly). I don't think I'd be the only one either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-app#post-990632 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 14:10:00 +0000 spaniellove 990632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LizSmith: Those guys are smart but I'm thinking they got their hook wrong here - $50/month is a lot! People are altruistic but when they have to weigh the likelihood that they'll donate it or need it for infertility, I'm not sure how many people think they could donate $50/month to another couple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-app#post-990610 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 14:03:52 +0000 spaniellove 990610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sunshine1810: Yeah, I think that would drain the fund faster than the creator might have anticipated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-app#post-990595 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 14:00:16 +0000 Torchwood 990595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Agreed. As much as I'd like to, we would never spend that much money on something like this unless we had strong reason to expect a problem. If we won the lottery or something, hell yeah I'd do it. I'd love to have the advanced app, and to know the money was going to help others would make it totally worth the ridiculous price. But we don't have that kind of money sitting around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-app#post-990560 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 13:49:04 +0000 Sunshine1810 990560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I was talking to DH about it last night and he said the exact same thing that you did. If that is what happens (and I suspect that it might be) that would kind of screw up the system. There would be more people getting money for treatment than not, I would think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-app#post-990177 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:54:50 +0000 Mrs.Someone 990177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Good point. I don't think I would've done it in the beginning. I don't tend to spend money on things I think are unnecessary, and I have a family history of this thing being easy :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-app#post-990165 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:52:42 +0000 spaniellove 990165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had a chance to think about it after the previous thread and wonder if the group of users will be skewed towards couples who have reason to suspect they will have fertility issues, because who else would be motivated to put money towards possible treatments? I would have done it, but only because we knew when we started that there was a medical cause for our MFI. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-app#post-990102 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:34:53 +0000 Mrs.Someone 990102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I posted about it a while ago, here is the link:</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glow-ap" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glow-ap</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-app#post-990049 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:22:28 +0000 mrbee 990049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LizSmith: I hadn't seen it, looks interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-app#post-990048 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:22:22 +0000 Sunshine1810 990048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I just saw another post about this as well. Not sure what to think about it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-app#post-990046 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:21:49 +0000 pui 990046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes this was posted a while ago. It sounds nice. Earlier I heard they were actually going to fund treatments. If that is still the case, I am skeptical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-app#post-990027 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:19:05 +0000 Torchwood 990027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone posted about this yet? I think it sounds really good! And the bit about helping to fund fertility treatments is really exciting to hear about, if it really helps people!</p> <p><a href="http://qz.com/111398/the-founder-of-paypal-wants-to-put-a-baby-in-you/" rel="nofollow">http://qz.com/111398/the-founder-of-paypal-wants-to-put-a-baby-in-you/</a> </p>
