January's IUI's anyone Else

[sugarpi24]

Oh my goodness mrstruth! Hope this one works for you!! Ttc to so stressful and sometimes I wonder why I even go to the doctor!

 

[sugarpi24]

Well woke up to my period coming full blast...and called the doctors and they said my insurance may not cover any u/s or meds or injectables this cycle since we will be doing cd3 lab work on Monday...it may be to late for it to process...so I may have to wait til next cycle to start the medication! Which is such crap!! What a way to start my weekend!

Oh my goodness mrstruth! Hope this one works for you!! Ttc to so stressful and sometimes I wonder why I even go to the doctor!

I know exactly how you are feeling Sugar. My doctor waited until the day of IUI to tell me that my insurance wasn't really going to cover the IUI and monitoring may be rejected . Why do we have insurance if our employers won't help select plans that fits the employees needs. And fertility is one of them

my fertility chart with fertility friend states that I ovulated on cd 15 which I had believed due to on Saturday cd13 my scan confirmed a mature egg at 16mm and it was at the very tip of my ovary preparing to release. Now according to countdown I ovulated cd 17 instead, which this wouldn't be the first month, because Clomids made me ovulate later. Can any of you take a look at my chart and tell me what you think?

 

[sugarpi24]

I don't chart mrstruth due to it not being right...stressed me @ut cuz my temps were everywhere. So I'm not sure what to say about your chart. I would go by the u/s I believe that is more accurate than temps.

No one told me my insurance required me to register is I was doing fertility treatment...I had no clue...so when I called last month to get my injectables they said I needed to register and its like okay so I did...they almost had me pay back all the u/s and meds and IUI and testing I had done in the past!!! its like are you serious?! But they finally got it straightened out and they said they would cover everything.

My insurance made me register as well and I didn't find out that I had to until Monday at 8:15 a few mins before the IUI I was hot and ticked. I didn't think that was fair or right. We all go through so much with TTC

 

[sugarpi24]

Yes I agree!! I registered after my IUI...after my hsg...after everything I have been through for the past 6 months I believe...its like wow...and the insurance or my doctor didn't say anything about it not being covered since I didn't register before hand... :/ I have aetna insurance...and I'm happy that they cover everything pretty much but dang! They are a pain in the butt! when do you go back to the doctor mrstruth?

OMG we were just switched to Aetna as well! And this is exactly what happen to me

 

[sugarpi24]

Lol yeah they only cover 6 iuis a lifetime...gonal f and ovidrel...they don't cover follistem like the doctors wanted to do...and they told my doctor that I have unlimited iuis well found out that isn't true...and they don't cover IVF... its like ahhh! My nurse said she has never had so much trouble with insurance before as she has now with mine! They had her on the phone for over an hour!!

 

[angelmom27]

Oh ladies the crap we go through!! I'm just sitting here hoping we all get our happy news sometime in the near future!! I know iui and IVF are so expensive and I spent the first four years trying to avoid IVF but we have just come to terms that doing IUIs would probably end up being more money in the long run :s Patients at our clinic have taken out double mortgages on their houses just to afford IVF... It's nuts what we have to do and I seriously just wish there was another option but at least iui and IVF is available to us.... Just think fifty years ago women had nothing

 

[sugarpi24]

Exactly angel! Its crazy all the options we have now!

 

[Christina78]

Sugarpi24.. Im sorry hun that the witch got you.. She just never stays away when you want her too yucky

What is your next step, are you trying IUI again. Im still thinking on what Im going to do if this IUI didn't take. Should I take a month off and do another cycle or go right into another cycle. Im hoping that we caught this one eggy but one doesn't give me high hopes but Im still hoping !

I know how you feel girl.. I tried IVF twice with chemicals both times but I always say hey its possible, you just have to check out all possible options. There is so much help out there but you have to go through lots of hoops but if you even get a chance to try it - its worth it

I hope you get your sticky bean soon

 

[sugarpi24]

Well tomorrow I go in for day 3 blood work for my insurance....and u/s to check for cysts...and then if all is good...start femera tomorrow night and hope insurance okays the injectables...if not...depending on how many follicles I get this cycle...we will try another IUI...not sure yet...I'm thinking for sure another IUI... :/

When do you test Christina?

Im happy to see youre not giving up yet I go in on Thursday for my betas !!

 

[sugarpi24]

Nope! I figured it wouldn't happen this last cycle anyways... so all is good. good luck Thursday!!

 

[angelmom27]

I'm right before you Christina.., I think I'm
Going Wednesday for blood. I've had sore boobs and been tired but had a negative this morning so who knows. How are you feeling?

Good luck sugarpi today at ultrasound

 

[sugarpi24]

Well bad news I have a small cyst on one of my ovaries and so we have to take a "break" this cycle from meds so we can still try just no femera or injectables or anything they offered to put me on bcp this cycle since my cycles vary...but I said no that if I don't get my period then we can try provera or progesterone... so guess it'll be another month

 

[angelmom27]

Sorry sugarpi I've been there and it sucks! With any luck provera will help you get your cycle and you can just try the old fashion way this month

Had a negative this morning and blood work done .... So just waiting to hear then into IVF :s seriously terrified it won't work hoping we are all cut a break sometime soon

 

[Brayr08]

Sugarpi, what size was your cyst?
Angelmom, I hope your bloods come back positive! IVF scares me as well. So much money wasted if it doesn't work.
AF finally showed up today. I'm going in Thursday for my internal ultra sound. I'm praying that pesky cyst has disappeared. I also think I'm going to ask them to up the dose of Follistim I've been taking. It's only produced one good sized follicle & I wouldn't mind one or two more to increase our odds.

 

[sugarpi24]

Idk what the size was...they said it was small...and nothing to worry about...and that it would be gone by next cycle...so I guess its nothing major...just they don't want to take any chances...
