So to make my day worse. I was just told I have a $3,500 bill coming to me for the ultrasounds & blood work & office visits from the hospital since I started going there on 7/23. I am sure my TTC journey is over now.

holy shit... that makes me really mad that its so much money for someone who wants to have a baby... ridiculous

I agree with Jaime it's horrible how you should pay so much for your little one! It's so much different here in the UK. I really hope you don't have to stop TTC x

Lisa, thats ridiculous...your jourey isnt over...hopefully youre pregnant!!

AFM, my progesterone numbers are high as hell I Od 2eggs...but not sure if I caught any...we shall see...she told me to test in a few days...but didnt say that she thought I was pregnant based on my pap

 

[mammaspath]

oh girls i am so sorry for the bad news.........that is so tough.........i don't know what else to say......hugs!!!!

 

[Jessica28]

Krystina - I hope we hear good news from you real soon!!

Joanna - I don't think there's anything I can say that these ladies haven't said already. I am sorry you are going through so much but I am glad you are finally seeing someone who truly seems to care and I will pray that there is something that they can do and eventually you will be back with a bfp before you know it!

Lisa & May - So sorry you ladies are feeling so down. I wish there was something I could do to help. Just remember, storms always pass eventually. Sometimes it may seem like a hurricane instead of a storm but that too will pass. Keep your chin up!

How's everyone? Wishing all testers luck this month. I am anxiously waiting to O. So frustrated as DH hurt his back and knee so he has a hard time being on top when we BD. Last night I had to get on top and lots of swimmers came out when I tried to hop off. I have done everything trick in the book... BD every night, BD every other night, BD every 3rd night, and nothing works!!!! I am so discouraged. I need some pep talk!

May, can you bd on top backwards. then you can easily get on your knees and put your butt in the air.

Wow Lisa, that's terrible. Did they tell you how much each procedure is upfront? I thought you had an impression this was only going to cost $1500? Make sure they aren't scamming you. I think that's ridiculous. You might as well have done IFV!

 

[threemakefive]

May...you know what I have from sex on top and all the sperm coming out??? An almost 7 year old

Lisa so sorry to hear I know ur ttc journey isn't over u will get ur baby!!

Joanna let us know how the scans go and get ur sono records.from old Dr see if they missed it...if so I'd sue!!

The $3,500 is for hospital fees on 7 different days of service provided. My RE office is a part of one of the hospitals. I was given a good faith estimate from the financial counselor and that only included the physician fees. No one ever told me about the hospital fees. And there is nothing on good faith estimate either. I feel extremely misled. I am furious. I've already paid $500 to the physician so all in all this 1 IUI is costing us $4,000. I planned on paying that for 3 IUI's. I am very upset.

So I had 1 Ultrasound. I am there for 10 min. Hospital fees were $960 Physician fee $113 and Office visit $56 = $1,129 for just those 10 minutes.

There is another RE in town so I plan to call them tomorrow and talk to the financial counselor and ask about their costs. Maybe we can go in a few months and give them a shot after we recoup from this unexpected financial loss. What a setback.

 

[krystinab]

Lisa, that's some flipping bs! I cannot believe they didn't tell you about hospital fees! Have you called and spoken to your nurse? Wtf could the hospital possibly charge you for?

 

[armymama2012]

Argh....now this is really putting pressure on me...

 

[krystinab]

Army what's putting pressure on you? Ttc?

 

[armymama2012]

No, some plans we had for back at home just fell through and now I have to go to plan B.

 

[Sunny skies]

Joanna, I feel the same as all the other ladies. So sad your going through this right now and I hope your medical issues can get resolved. Don't give up and wishing you better news soon.

Lisa, that's crazy. Can't believe they can charge so much, I'm praying it's your month and you won't need to dish out any more money.

Krystina, so anxious for you to test. Two eggs... That's a good sign.

Kd, ate you testing Monday too.

Army, sorry about your plans falling through.

AFM, I've been super tired as I've been busy at work. Just trying not to think about The TWW. I'm so tempted to symptom spot, but I can't handle the disappointment. It's tough to stay positive seeing what so many of you have been through and you don't give up, keeps me motivated. I'm so happy to be part of this thread.

 

[Kdk24]

Sunny... I was gonna test Friday at 10dpo but I don't really have any of the same symptoms I had last time. I guess I'll try and wait it out? I'll get a random sharp pain in my nipple which I had before and some weird crampy pinching pains in/near my ovaries but no cold sore or cold. Last time the inky reason I tested was because I got sick, a cold, and that never happens to me!!!

I guess I'll have to wait and see?!?

 

[krystinab]

Good morning ladies.

KD & Sunny its so much easier if you dotn symptom spot. I think it makes the TWW go by quicker.

Lisa, how are you doing Love? Feeling any better?

May, when are you supposed to be testing?

Amy, your gender test is coming up! Whoop Whoop!!

AFM, chilling. I really think AF is coming but I will test on Saturday if she doesnt show...

 

[armymama2012]

I didn't sleep well and my temp took a dip. FF gave my crosshairs and set me back to 3 DPO when I thought I was 6 DPO. Darn! But at least it says I ovulated early still! I guess I will be postponing testing til the 21st instead of the 18th!
