Calling all RMA Ladies (1st page updates)

[DaisyQ]

Thanks Jchic.

I made an appointment today with Dr. Morris, since she is so ahmazing. I like the idea of seeing a woman doctor, I think I will be less intimidated asking my questions.

The only (BIG) downside for me going to RMA NJ will be the copays. $50 a pop, vs. $10 at my current place. I will need to find out if a copay is required at every visit or just office appointments.

I am also very frustrated with my hubs right now. Yesterday he was OK with me making an appointment at RMA NJ, given their higher success rates. He gave me two (ONLY TWO) dates he would be able to go, April 12 and 18th, with a strong preference for the 18th. I made the appointment on the 18th at 11:30, and now he is telling me that he can't go. He can only go to an early morning appointment because he needs to be in the office that day. !!! I just sent him a strongly worded email that these doctors are not usually available in the early mornings because they are doing monitoring, IUIs and IVF procedures. I was being kind of a brat, but I told him that I'll go alone and he can "call in" from his office, since he is too busy and important to be there in person. There needs to be an eye roll emoticon.

And Marie, I looked but they only report the total number of FETs and percentage of which result in life birth.

Hi!!!
Thank you for all your kind words!!!
Dh called today, but he needs to see a urologist first.
He goes on Tuesday, so we will see where we go from there.

 

[jchic]

YAY! So excited you will love Dr. Morris, you can tell her I sent you LOL
She is great, and I love that she is a woman and totally understands.
The copay is for the consult and if you go for blood and u/s. If its just blood, I think its less, depends on the insurance.

 

[DaisyQ]

Thanks. I just looked it up, and I think it's a $40 copay for the labs. Blah. I will see what my current doctor has to say about IVF success rates and protocols and see what Morris says... and then make a decision.

I may stay with my current doctor and try one round there. If it doesn't work then I'm shit out of luck (pardon me), and will need to get new insurance ANYWAY, either through a new job, or I will take classes if I have to, and get student health insurance. I think if I take classes in NJ, I will get a decent policy that covers IVF.

Thank you ladies for all of that information

Reading everyones posts I hope that we all stay positive for this cycle and maybe none of us will have to go any further and we all get our



Well, off to go get some pizza with the family and home to bed early, have to be up @ 6 AM to hit the road for my bw in the morning!!

Have a great night ladies

 

[DaisyQ]

Sorry Jersey, I don't mean to be a debbie downer. I just try to focus on what next to keep my mind off of the current cycle. Also, I was so crushed last month when it didn't work out, so I am trying not to hope too much.

But I have plenty of hope for my other ladies!!!

 

[jerseygirl412]

Aww Daisy don't apologize you're not a Debbie Downer
I know it's so frustrating and heart breaking and that's what we're here for to lend our ears and be each other's cheerleaders and pep talkers
I am kind of the pot calling the kettle black, because I'm already saying that I don't want to do another IUI if this doesn't work this cycle, I want IVF.. I
was so upset last month, that my period showed before I even had the chance to go for my beta test...trying to stay positive is easier said than done, but maybe just maybe all our positivity can band together for a great outcome for us all

 

[DaisyQ]

Yeah!! At accupuncture now. Hoping to relieve some of this stress.

 

[DaisyQ]

So second iui was yesterday, with 81 million/mL post wash. I think I o'ed right in between the two iuis, early this time. My acupuncturist said she was going to try to help me O, and I guess it worked! We also dtd yesterday afternoon, and again late night (1am), and once more around 10 am today, so hopefully we've got it covered!! Officially in the 2ww.

 

[Stinas]

Daisy - FX!!! Where do you get your accupuncture done?

 

[DaisyQ]

I go to a place called yinova, in the city. It's most convenient for me to go in the city because of work.

One more week! So nervous, but can't wait to take this step.

Question: at your first appointment, what does the financial lady go over?

 

[jchic]

Hi ladies
Hope everyone had a beautiful Easter! How was the wknd?
Afm- all is well! At rma now to get b/w then off to work! Dr morris and I have a consult on the 17th to discuss ivf and perhaps a lap prior but she is still on te fence abt it since my cyst is stable. She just wants to make sure its nothing since I have never beem officially diagnosed with endo. Either way i trust her plan completely. Shes even doing the consult pver the phone since I am not missing work to drive down to summit lol. I do my beta on the 20th

Any updates?


Helena- they chat with you abt ins coverage etc

Helena-

 

[jerseygirl412]

Daisy those are some great numbers and looks like you definitely have everything covered
Good luck Jchic hope the consult goes well for you!!

I had my bloodwork on Saturday morning my progesterone level was a 24 the nurse said I don't need any supplements that if the IUI worked it was a good level to support a pregnancy. So, the 2WW continues, and as always it's taking forever.
Helena, yes they go over insurance coverage, what is covered and not covered under your plan, we only met with the financial advisor one time that was it. Lots of luck on your first visit!!

Jersey! I just got a call that my progesterone was a 23, lol. We are progesterone twins!

Me too How are you feeling?

 

[jerseygirl412]

Me too How are you feeling?

I'm feeling pretty good this time around, my bb's are really sore ( Ovidrel) but the cramping isn't nearly as bad as the last IUI.. every once in a while I'll get a couple of twinges. I'm exhausted but that's just the lack of caffeine

How are you feeling? Fingers, toes and everything crossed for this month that we get a
