Bunni - I'm so sorry for your loss :hugs:

Jo - yeah, they don't seem to fussed to see you so early. Suppose there isn't much to do that early on anyhow!
 
Yeah I know but all these girls in America seem to be getting well early scans and all these hcg level tests and everything!! Not fair!!! Or do they pay for what they want?
 
It really depends on the doctor and how good your insurance is. I had a ton of hcg tests and scans because I was seeing a fertility specialist so I had 5 hcg tests and 3 ultrasounds in the first few weeks.
 
oh right.. i dont get it at all.. what if you dont have insurance and need treating for something serious? preg related or not? Do they just let you suffer?
 
No there are programs you can use to make sure you have proper care. Medicaid helps low income households with medical emergencies and lack of insurance
 
Ah i see.. I thought you were just thrown out on the street lol! So you can go to emergency room and get treated regardless, then work out how to pay for it after??

If you wanted early scans and blood tests, could you request them?
 
Could I please be added? Will be testing just before Christmas Day, I think.
 
I'm sorry to hear Bunni.

Congratulations to all our new BFP's H & H 9 to all

if you are uninsured you would pay out of pocket and ultrasounds and bloodwork are not cheap.

I am lucky the hubby is in the military and Tricare is paying for everything.
 
megan~ welcome:wave:

bunni~ oh honey i am so sorry big :hugs:

jen~ i really hope thats what happens...FX for you this cycle! :dust:

jo~its very interesting to learn about your process over there. it really all depends on the insurance you have out here. not sure about other states but i cali they have a state program that helps with food and healthcare if your preggo

afm~i have a dull crampy pain on my right side. which is weird cause it feels more like ov pain then af pain. still not sleeping through the night and im super tired. dw is sure im preggo still:dohh: but after my bfn on 9dpo im thinking im out this month...but we will see i guess
 
@Jo - Like the other gals said out here it totally depends on your insurance. Like for me, on my insurance anything that is not specifically for getting pregnant can be covered, so scans to see why I'm not ovulating or if I have ovulated can be covered but my hcg test, clomid (femara next month), my trigger shots and all that are out of pocket. I also have to pay a copay, so covered items still cost $25 per item/ visit. I think we went out of pocket about $700 last month for all the tests and prescriptions. This month and next will be less because we have fewer tests. We had to save up before we could consider fertility treatments because we arent wealthy enough to normally be able to fork out that much cash.
 
Wow this makes me realise how lucky we are to have the NHS here in the UK. I live in Wales so all prescription medicine is free as well as free pregnancy testing facilities. All women are entitled to fertility treatment for free on the NHS... we don't have to pay a penny :) we are so very lucky! Xx
 
Its one of the perks of being a military family. All my fertility meds (femara and trigger shot) were covered as well as all my testing. I have racked up about 10 grand in fertility appointments and tests that I didn't have to pay. Thanks to the Air Force I have a little one growing inside me.

and I won't have to pay anything for the prenatal care of delivery either.

Due to the new "Obamacare" health plan in the US, EVERYONE has the option to be covered for Emergency Services (which include labor and delivery, but not prenatal visits), even illegal immigrants. Whether or not you apply for it if eligible is on you. Although, you have to be pretty broke to be considered eligible. Although, all pregnant women, despite income, are eligible for Medicaid coverage, and children are covered for the first six month of life, regardless of income.

If you're lucky enough to be in that "in-between" income ranking, not low enough for medicaid, but not high enough to afford other insurance, most hospitals (at least in Maryland) will work with you to get financial aid, or a payment plan so that you can still be treated.

Lucky me, I work in medical billing so I get to hear sob stories all day about "How am I going to pay for this?!". :nope:

I agree that you are very lucky with the NHS. My sister has endometriosis and I saw someone post about the NHS paying for IVF and I got all excited, but when I googled it I figured out it was UK, not US. There's no way my sister will ever be able to afford IVF.
