Assisted Reproduction Technology...IVF, IVM, IUI etc

ahhh,,,nice that its a covered procedure. My follicles are responding to the medication, they were very small previously, and now are the correct size, I just hope they are also being released and that my progesterone is also responding in kind.

 

[Chiles]

I hope it works

 

[LolaM]

me too!

I got ANOTHER dr bill today from my HSG-the dr is charging me a seperate fee from the actual procedure...hes GOT to be kidding, and my insurance doesnt cover any of this, not the dr visits, not the procedures not even consultations. No wonder I've got a migraine!

I feel your pain! My insurance doesnt cover anything to do with infertility. I feel stressed over the money im spending on ttc.

Good luck Chiles!!

So I am cd12 today. My opk was blazing positive yesterday which I found strange because it was sooo early for me. But my u/s today showed my lining was about halfway developed. My right ovary he said had a lot of follies but they were all to small to amount to anything. He said that side looked like I have pcos. But my left side has three promising looking follies. He said they are not ready yet but should be by this weekend. He said he couldnt guarentee how many if any would ovulate but its on track. So its looking like this weekend! He said to start opking again tomorrow. The surge I got on cd11 was just my brain reacting to the meds and was false.

Well here's hoping that those 3 follies grow and release this weekend!!!! FXFX

Oh that sucks!!! How much did they charge you for the HSG? Mine was covered by provincial health insurance...

 

[siblingwishes]

A big hello to all the ladies! I have been busy doing the Holiday visiting so haven't been on here much. I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays!

AFM, not much new...the progesterone isn't having much of an effect on me, which sort of has me worried that it isn't doing its job - I hope it is! I am on CD18, 4 dpo and have really not much new. I had a tiny little something on the tp last night, almost like a small bit of clotting, but like really small. Not really anything else though.

Lola, Tiffany - any twinges or symptoms?

I get twinges all month long. Im gonna go ahead and say that I didnt get preg this month because i have a SERIOUS case of PMS today! I am on CD 19 and FF still hasnt detected my ovulation. I have a horribly stiff neck and one heck of a headache.

Cridge - I hope you feel better. We can't afford to get sick when we're ttc.

Ladies - what is HSG?

Cridge ... you and I are ovulating in 9 days .. looks like we'll be in the TWW period at the same time.

Cridge - I hope you feel better. We can't afford to get sick when we're ttc.

Ladies - what is HSG?

A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an X-ray test that examines the inside of uterus and fallopian tubes and the surrounding area. They insert dye into the uterus. They use it to check if the fallopian tubes are blocked and in my case, to check the shape of the uterus.Mine was very painful and they could only see the left uterus < I have 2> I think I should get a discount because they only did 1/2 the exam lol.

 

[Mommyagain]

Well started opking again today per docs orders and got another blazing positive! So I called and they said to stop testing and to bd daily through 12/31 then to start progesterone 1/1. Im so stressed! If my follies were to small yesterday and my lining to thin....isnt it bad to be surging now? I was so hopeful this cycle now....not so much.

Wow...that's expensive! I'm sorry. Happy f-ing holidays, right?

It sucks to have to pay so much to TTC when its free for most women, doesn't it?

My insurance covers the majority of my investigative procedures (like the HSG), but we're on the hook for IUI and IVF. Fortunately, we do get a discount rate on the ART procedures. My IUI, including sperm washing, was only around $250 with the discount. How does that compare to others in the US?

I think you will only ovulate in about 24 to 48 hrs, and the follies can grow between 2-4 mm/day so I would have faith and BD like nobody's business!!!

Also, if I have anyone's CD wrong, just copy and paste, corrected, in a reply post!!! It's hard to keep up with you all sometimes lol

 

[siblingwishes]

Unproductive day at the office!!!
I just spent an hour uploading a new template to my blog

Cridge - I hope you feel better soon!

Oh yes, I got that too. I'm sorry, but I do have to agree ... that is expensive! If I'm not mistaken, that test took about about 15 minutes.

I got the dye test and another test when they take a swab of your uterus lining .. the latter was painful! I don't know what they are called.

Both tests for me for covered by our provincial health system ... I guess I can appreciate it now.

Hi there all!

I've been having the craziest dreams for the past couple of days! I mentioned them to DH and he said, "isn't that a symptom of pregnancy"? I said yeah, but I don't want to get my hopes up too high.lol

How is everyone doing in their cycles?
