It's just so damn expensive

Covered by public health care where I am. Just mentioning this as a reminder to look into it wherever you live before assuming it's expensive.

£500 well spent. Though I'm still annoyed that my local NHS trust wouldn't fund it.

For me its something like 2500 in the private hospital because public system doctors will refuse to do it if you are "young" and have no kids
