Hi ladies I think it's time I jump in here as well. DH and I went to the RE for the first time Tuesday and he was actually really nice to us. he addressed all my questions and concerns. He did a sono and he did some bloodwork. the bloodwork was an hcg (to see if I'm pregnant. (Which I wasn't.), pregesterone, and he did genetics testing. which pretty much was to see if i was a carrier for anything....cystic fibrosis...something like that. He's sent DH in for some bloodwork Wednesday. I have to go to a lab for some bloodwork tomorrow. AF showed up yesterday and I got bloods in the office today. He says he feels with DH's morphology and what not surgery really wouldnt help and he thinks we will have to do IVF. but he said he doesnt want to make any guesses like other ppl have been doing. he wants to know exactly what is wrong. he seemed like he genuinely wanted to help and like he was tailoring a plan specifically for us which was great. he wasnt like this is the first step i take with everyone then the second.I have to get blood work againbetween days 21-24 of my cycle. He told us he cant see why we wouldnt be pregnant within 6 months. But he wants to see exactly what all the bloodwork says first. He suggested we skip IUI this month, so pretty much we'll be taking the next month off from ttc. He told us we should have all of our bloodwork back within 2 weeks so we can see what that all says and go from there. Dh's insurance covers 3 IVF's in your lifetime. They cover 75% so we are responsible for 25% of it. Having only 3 in my entire life makes me very nervous but fingers crossed we can get a sticky bean on the first try!!! So as of right now we're just waiting to get back all our blood work results and then we'll take it from there.
Welcome Haj!
Sorry to see you over here but it is always nice to add more to the group for more support. I hope that your RE can help you figure out whats going on and help you guys out. I will add you to the front page. Do you know when your next appointment is?
Ok I just got off the phone with my insurance company and they do cover the consult. At least they cover the 2 codes my re office gave me so hopefully those are the only 2 codes they are going to bill. Anyway I feel much better now
Oh I also just joined an infertility support group in my area. I never knew they existed but I looked online and there are a few around where I live. It's just peer lead so not professional or anything but the next one is 3/18 so I will be attending that. Hopefully it will be a good place to let things out and meet some people with the same issues. Same as here but face to face
I'm so glad they cover it. I was about to reply to your other post and I felt so sad that you were going to have to hold off on this.
That they will at least cover some of the first appointment!! Oh and the questions you added from Springy are great thanks!!
