What movies do you have planed to watch?
Also do they tell you to drink lots of water or eat a special diet or anything?
I'm picturing you on the sofa with your feet up, with a blanket, eating pineapple core and watching Gone with the Wind or something
I started heparin on transfer day and holy hell it hurts!! My abdomen is covered in giant bruises, too. It's very colorful....
Here's a pic of
I thought you were going to show us a pic of your bruised belly!!
Not to make light of your pain, but I was interested.
HA so did you transfer all 3?
It would seem that way, but it actually seriously sucks because up until now we've had absolutely no lifetime limits (either $ amount of # of cycles) on infertility treatment. And double when you consider that the new healthcare law was supposed to eliminate lifetime limits! But nope, the new law doesn't consider infertility treatments to be 'essential' health care. And because the new law increases costs to insurance companies, our premiums have gone up every year for two years now, and now they're instituting new limits to our coverage.
Moral of the story: every single law comes with unintended consequences, and Aetna are total assholes.
Well I have no maternity and certainly no fertility coverage that I know of. Would be nice if with the 2,500 deductible increase we just got we also got some of those things included... Sigh
When I had my first son, I had unlimited infertility coverage for 1 year. I obviously used that up, (I have a great lengthly story about a coworker that worked that insurance magic!)
Then, our policy switched and we now have a lifetime limit of $12,000. I wanted to go see my RE again but seriously did not have the cash to pay for any out of pocket. I was sure that my insurance would tell me that I had already used up my infertility coverage, or some other nonsense. I was hoping that since the policy changed, I could wiggle myself in somehow under a new policy.
Anyway, I called them and they had NO record of any fertility treatments I had ever done!! They have records of my prenatal care and delivery following my fertility treatments, but no record of infertility treatment of any kind.
Last summer, I started with a blank slate!! Can you believe it? The one time EVER that insurance companies screw up and the patient benefits!
I'm still waiting for them to catch on and send me a bill for those last 4 cycles.
I'm imagining the frowning one is thinking " oh man you mean I have to share"
