TTC after a Tubal Reversal ~Come Join Me~

[Sagapo75]

A few question- what does FX mean? And frer? Been on a few boards and have never seen those ones!

Reedsgirl- Congrats! Very exciting!

MommaX3- I had mine done locally, at a place called GYFT.

The doc previously told me 3 months, but that we will discuss it more based on my healing at the post-op. If I try during my Feb cycle it will be just over 2 months...but i feel pretty comfortable with that. My healing has gone great- the only sensitivity I have left is topical, my skin feels stretched and mad and aches.

You might have said already...but when was your TR? Mine was 10/15/10. And FRER is a First Response Early pregnancy test...they are usually the ones I use...

FX means fingers crossed and FRER is a First Response Early Result pregnancy test

Thanks!

Welcome Dash! Many new faces YAY for the TR ladies!

I had a scan today and had levels checked, scan was clean no signs of anything, and levels are now at 6. So I do not need to go back for more bloods, she said if they are below 10 then I do not need to be retested. I think the levels went down pretty quickly, I started at 173, 243, 238,156, 50, 6 . I am glad this is over, bleeding has stopped, was told to wait a month (regular cycle) and try again. We will see... I am kinda drained from it all and glad to move on but never will forget.

Thank you all for your support ladies!

Welcome dash....I am Carole. My TR cost close to $5000 with hospital fee's etc. All of my hsg, bloods etc are totally coevered by health care in Canada, I am shocked that u ladies have to pay out of pocket for them. Wishing u a short TTC journey.

 

[tatertahelon]

Glad to hear your doing better Super. XX

What are the US ladies paying for their TR>..every SINGLE one that has mentioned so far are WAAAAAAAY less than what DH and I paid...

and are you paying out of pkt for your HSG in US???
That's my next step and really should call the doc to find out for sure, but am just wondering
thanks

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Tater I paid 5800 for mine but all in all with travel and everything it was about 7grand. My HSG was covered by my isurance but I think it just depends on what your dr puts it in for and what if any that your insurance will pay for feritilty issues.

 

[tatertahelon]

well, that'll be Sa WEET if ins will cover at least something...if not we'll have to save for it and not sure how long that may take~depending on the cost...I don't wanna owe the bank anymore..they are scammers...and hate getting $$ from them...

Thanks tho girl..wonder why my TR was SOOOO much..hmmm?

 

[tatertahelon]

I just called doc and made an appt...not FOR the HSG, but just to see what's going on and WHY he thinks sooo many pregnancies that don't stick...He may wanna send me for HSG, and HOPEFULLY b/c it's NOT considered a fertility or infertility issue it WILL be covered by our insurance!!!!
I think I feel better ALL ready!!!!!

phew
thanks for letting me rant and vent reeds!!!

My TR was $6500.00, but it covered everything, all my tests, before and after surgery...

If I have to have an HSG in May, I am 99% sure I will have to pay for that on my own...and that's ok. My doctor said that they will file it anyway, just to see what happens, but that I will most likely have to pay...either way, I hope I won't have to go back...

All places are different. I had to drive to North Carlina to have mine down. Here in Mo it would have been 12000 with a 3 day hospital stay that I would have also had to pay and for the anathisologist.

You may have said already...and if so, sorry...but how much was your TR??

 

[Superstoked]

Wow, you ladies paid more than I did! I paid 2200.00, 1000.00 for Doctor, 800 for anathisologist and 400 for one night stay. They first told me 3000.00 but when I paid everyone seperate that's all it came too.

Yeah, mine included the cost of the anesthesiologist... Mine was a full, open surgery. Not laprascopic. Is that what most of you had? However, even though it was an open abdominal surgery, it was done in my doctor's surgical suite...and after some time in their recovery suite...I was released the same day and had no complications whatsoever. I was SOOOO worried. I was scared that I would not be able to walk after having an incision that was the SAME as my two previous c-sections...but I did and it wasn't that bad. My husband was the best nursemaid ever and recovery was fairly quick.

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Where I went covered everything. And was a full open as well...same day and I stayed in their hotel and the nurse came the next day to check me and released to me to go home.

Did you go to Dr. Berger in Chapel Hill? I remember seeing that someone in this group had. I live in South Carolina and am lucky that there is a fertility specialist in the town where I live...Greenville. And they will continue to follow me when and if I get a BFP...

 

[needafriend]

I was thinking and mine wasn't $5000...it was about $4200... didn't stay in the hospital over nite as i knew I would never sleep and other than being nauesated from the anestetic, I felt like a super model afterwards. Some of you ladies paid a ton...WOW we got to use it as a tax right off and got back abotu $3000 of it.
