    Hey there girls X

    When I requested for my Biopsy, my FS told me " I don't qualify for the test unless I have had 3 failed fresh blastie transfers".
    I pretty much told him unless he was willing to pay for my extra cycles and a psychologist, I wanted it done NOW. Of course he gave in and agreed to it, but was assuming I was waisting my time. Well look who had egg on their face!! The nurse that assissted with the biopsy too made me feel like a hypochondriac for requesting the test, she told me I was going through a very invasive and painfull procedure for nothing.
    For nothing, yeah, that's why I'm UTD now.

    The cost of the Biopsy is different, depends on what your FS charges, mine was $100, yeup, broke the bank!!!! And I got $65 back from Medicare.
    My friend is having NKcell biopsy tomorrow in Adelaide and she is being charged $300.
    But I guess in the whole scheme of things, it is a lot cheaper than an IVF cycle and it puts you in a better headspace for when you do go ahead with another cycle.

    My motto was, if it came back negative, I would put my confident hat back on and know I asked for everything this time, and if it came back positive, well everyone can go suck on an egg!
    The thing is, to start another cycle you NEED to be in a good confident headspace. If you have doubts at the start, don't go through with it, because it's not worth starting behind the eightball, it is stressfull enough without doubts in your head already.

    I say well done to the girls that are putting their foot down and requesting the Biopsy. Hey what do we have to loose?!

    Love to all X
