Calling all RMA Ladies (1st page updates)

[DaisyQ]

OMG, I'm confused already! You can explain it to me over pre IVF margaritas on cinquo de mayo! I think I spelled that wrong... I took French...

Turns out the coverage is staying the same but the reason for my concern was that I am not currently enrolled in that insurance, I am on my DH's who does not offer infertility coverage b\c they have privatized insurance (one of those confussing ones) So our open enrollement for insurance at my job is 5/1/12 so they could change what ever they want since it's open enrollment. It just happens our renews at a weird time of year. Most are the first of the year not sure why ours is in May.

Insurances are a nightmare!! I lucked out when my company was purchased by a company in NJ...Aetna...They have an infertility hot line that you have to register with they ask a bunch of questions to you to see if you're "qualified" for their infertility treatments...

Just an update I heard back from my nurse at the RE's office...she told me that my dr is willing to do up to 3 but if I feel that I want to move on to IVF that is fine...she told me to hang in there..
I'm holding out on testing...waiting until either AF comes or Beta which ever happens first

It's officially twins! I heard 2 heartbeats & saw 2 fetal poles! One is slightly smaller than the other but he says its 2 days behind, probably implanted later. I get to cut my pio injections in half but i still have to jab myself everyday so who cares how many mg? The nurse says shes made me the poster child of people afraid of needles who have overcome their fear to have a baby. She said she uses me as an example to new scared ivfers. I have come a long way.
We need some more bfps here! Who's next?

 

[DaisyQ]

Marie! That is amazing news! Congratulations x 2!

As for who's next, well it's Jersey, then Jchic, then me (since we are all going to get knocked up with this IUI!)... I can't remember where everyone else is in their treatment cycle!

I'm up in the middle of the night with heart burn. Happened last night too. I'm not reading into it - progesterone, and I ate a big dinner both nights.

Had acupuncture tonight - the feeling after is so good. I was commending my acupuncturist for making me O early, right in between the two IUIs, and she said, "well, now I'm going to make you pregnant." I love it. If only!!!

[ashknowsbest]

Hi girls, hope you don't mind me joining? I just made my appointment at the RMA clinic in Manhattan and I'm looking forward to getting started there. I've heard GREAT things about that place and can't wait to get my bfp!

Jerseygirl - I have aetna and I loooove it also. So many GREAT benefits!

Marie - congrats on the twins! That is awesome!!!!

 

[Helena_]

Can't wait to be able to really join you girls

Congrats on the bfps!

 

[Helena_]

I think I'll be seeing dr. kim. Does anyone else see him? How do you find him?

 

[DaisyQ]

Welcome Ash!

Helena, JenniferAnn (not on this thread) saw Dr. Kim and loved him. She had success with IVF #1. I'm on a RMA thread on a different site, and everyone loves Morris and Kim (also a few others). Dr. Kim has one of the highest IVF transfer success rates, or so I hear. The ladies on the other thread call him the uterus whisperer.

 

[jerseygirl412]

Welcome Ash and Helena!!

I am officially out on this 2nd IUI came again...just like the last IUI I didn't even get a chance to go in for the Beta test

Keeping my fingers toes and everything crossed for you both Daisy and Jchic

Waiting for the RE's office to call back had to call and report day 1 and I definitely want to start on the IVF process

So now, I'm going to poor myself 1 big glass of Coca Cola since I've missed it so much over the past few weeks...I know the caffeine is no good but just having one....I should have a big ole glass of wine

 

[jerseygirl412]

***pour*** not poor sorry I on the phone while typing

 

[DaisyQ]

Awww, Jersey. I am so sorry. That really stinks! How many DPIUI are you??? It just seems so early for AF to be arriving.

With IVF you will be on progesterone no matter what. At RMA NY it's PIO (boo).

 

[ashknowsbest]

Jersey girl - sorry AF got you! I feel the same way although AF hasn't come yet! It was my 2nd IUI and I'm 11dpiui today and took a test this morning and bfn so I'm pretty sure I'm out. It sucks!

 

[jerseygirl412]

Thank you ladies
I had my first IUI on 4-3 so that would make me 11 days past 1st IUI same thing happened last time on the same day I got my period...so pretty much it seems like I'm getting that every 3 weeks

I'm looking forward to starting the IVF process and hoping that I'm part of the success rates for it!! Now just waiting to hear back to see if I'm still going in for bloodwork and u/s on Monday which would be cd3 since I have no idea what's in store or how they start the IVF process...just happy about the progesterone...at least for now I can say that lol

Good luck Ash you never know you still might get your BFP!!

 

[DaisyQ]

Yes, I'd assume you'll go in on day 3. They will have to decide what kind of protocol to put you on.

 

[jerseygirl412]

I'm excited to start the process
