Anyone LTTTC in Australia :) ?

[Farrar_xo]

Thanks ladies - I have asked to do the beta Wednesday and again Friday and they said I'll still have to do one Tuesday but I'll feel better then I think because we are going to tell my mum and dad and I'd prefer 2 results before we do! Cramps have been around today - little worse than yesterday but they just come and go. I did a frer digi today and it said no! I was so shocked. Couldn't believe how upset I got even though the normal frer was positive Wednesday can't come quick enough!! X

I was wondering the price for a FET privately with glen? As I am wanting to do the fet in February and wanting to transfer my last 2 frosties and I don't think they will allow that through bb. And I would really like to speak to glen and get the best possible treatment.

I think we paid close to $3000 for our fet but I can't remember what Medicare gave us back - haven't looked to be honest but I think we are waiting on a cheque to give to the clinic?? We told him we were doing 2 and he agreed so I'm not sure if that was based on our case alone or what. Ring and ask for an appt. he really is great!

Wow that is so cheap compared to our clinic for a FET. We paid close to $6000. Whatever we got back was just spent again on any medications for the cycle (synarel spray, progynova, crinone and pessaries for 12 weeks, etc and blood tests). First pregnancy scan even cost us as cycle is considered over after transfer.

From memory mine was about $2000... because I came from a freeze all cycle the FET was slightly cheaper for me (I was meant to do a fresh transfer but that got changed right before egg collection).
Then I spent about $1000 on Crinone alone... so glad that is over and done with lol I have half a box if anyone is looking haha that stuff is worth more then gold I swear. My private health gave me back $20 a box haha
Jillie ... Life Fertility is a cheaper clinic. Not sure who you went with but we were going to go with QFG originally but we found them just way to expensive and if the first cycle didn't work we wouldn't be able to go again with out loans and things. They still arent as cheap as their website makes out though lol

Farrar good luck for tomorrows blood test. Have you done anymore tests at home?

MissCassie how are you going? Glad to see you are still around

As for me I am having trouble with my blood pressure still.. the GP seems to think its white coat syndrome because after half hour or so at the clinic it calms back down... .but I have another appt at the hospital today to see what they want to do. Might end up having to wear a BP monitor for 24 hours to see what is going on. Pretty scary

 

[Farrar_xo]

Yeah same with ours - we had a fet right after fresh and it was $6000 for the fresh then a further $1000 for the frozen transfer then this transfer was $3000 so I dunno. They are well priced! We looked at QFG as well and they were just way too expensive! I have stopped testing coz it is driving me insane!! Analyzing everything! Beta tomorrow will tell us what is going on anyway. Xx

We went through Monash IVF here in Rockhampton. The convenience of them being in the same town and their success rates were enough for us to go with them. Fresh cycles were about 12 grand all up for everything (but meds were included in that). Got more back from medicare and private health for fresh cycles. I was spending well over $300 every fortnight for all my crinone and pessaries in my FET cycles. Private cover gave us pretty much nothing back because they only covered in hospital stuff. In the end we were successful so that is all that matters. Just our storage fees to pay them for now. We will keep our embryos til the 5 year mark then decide what we will do with them.

 

[MissCassie]

Thank you ladies for all of your responses it really helps with the planning of the FET. I'm very excited to do this and I'm going to do as much as possible as I can to make sure I have a successful pregnancy, so from now until February I am going to be on a massive diet and try to lose as much weight as I can.

I hope your all doing well

And I hope you had an amazing Beta today Farrar.

 

[wantingbubba7]

Had my nuchal scan yesterday all went really well, everything came back with a nice low risk !! Bub wasn't playing very nicely though haha just wanted to curl up in a ball!

Heres a little pic of bub xx

 

[Farrar_xo]

How amazing is it to see your bubba wantingbubba!!! So cute. Love seeing yours and jillies scan pics! Waiting on the clinic to get back to me with the second results! Waiting waiting lol xx

 

[Jillie89]

Lovely scan pic Wantingbubba. Glad the results were good news too.

Can't wait to hear your results Farrar.

I had a 32 week scan today. Frosty is 1800g and measuring right on track. Went for an appt after with another obgyn. He was lovely. Good news is my blood pressure is good and the trace protein in my urine is gone for now!!! Looks like Frosty is going to stay in there for a bit longer thank goodness. Back in 2 weeks for another scan and appt to check it all again.

 

[Farrar_xo]

Brilliant news jillie! My second beta was 250 at 11dp5dt so happy with that!! X
