Is anyone keeping track of the cost of trying for a baby?

How much does it cost to get a baby? Err, those things like the cost of drinks in a bar and taxi fare home after a one night stand doesn't  really count here.

What I am thinking of is, how much does it cost? Those pre-conception stuff. Vitamin pills, lubricants (yes, there are special lubricants for the purpose), ovulation test kits, pregnancy test kits, basal temperature monitors.. etc etc. Oh yes, how about books? Books about fertility, books about how to do it, books about how to determine your baby's sex etc etc. There is a whole industry there going after our money! There are so many economic studies about how much it cost to raise a child. Anyone costed how much it cost to "create" on in the first place?
