Hi all!
I've just got back from my initial nursing and financial appointments... Even though my clinic is lots cheaper than others, because of the up front fees required, DH and I are not going to be able to start our ICSI cycle for a little while... I'm guessing this is the world's way of telling us to take time out (again) and make sure we have everything organized... We are still going forward with our counseling session but then putting off treatment until we have the monies required...

Hope you are all doing well!!! xxx

Jo i'm really sorry i know you must be really disapointed sending you lots of :hug:


AFM - i got my trigger this morning, i had 5 follies 4 were a good size one was medium size and going in for my first iui this afternoon and
my 2nd iui tomorrow afternoon. If this does not work which i dont have much hope of it working with clomid the fs will put me on injections
next month. So fustrating all my blood tests and scans come up good so not sure why i'm not falling pg :wall:

Jo xx hugs to you xx i know the waiting and wishing and waiting kills me. hopefully you can start soon . was it dandenong? can i ask what the fees are like? we may need to go down that road in a few months if nothing happens

:hug: Jo. The waiting game due to finances is one I know all too well. Hopefully you get everything sorted very soon!

If it helps, when I made my appointment at Dandenong Fertility Centre in December they quoted me a little over $2,000. Was something like: $2,136.90.
I've also got an appointment at RPA in Sydney and they quoted me only $1,408. I remember thinking that once you add flights/accommodation (if required being we do have family in Sydney we may be able to stay with)/hire vehicles onto the cost of treatment in Sydney, both would be a total cost of about the same amount....so I'm crossing fingers Dandenong works out for us cause then I don't have the stress of all the travel during treatment.

Thanks everyone, it is a little disappointing but we may have actually come up with a solution! :) Just hoping it all goes ahead!!! I'm still waiting for my nurse to call me back and let me know exactly what type of cycle we will be doing as yesterday she wasn't sure because my FS hadn't told her... She said it will be either a down reg cycle or an antagonist cycle but she is leaning towards thinking it will be a down reg one...

Kbudgie- yep! I have the price list for there for all procedures so if you want, pm me and I can let you know what the costings are! :)

Mel- I'm at TFC in Dandenong and it is around $2700 - $3300 out of pocket (if you havent hit the safety net and after you get your medicare rebate back) which is AMAZING but you need to pay the full amount up front which for IVF with ICSI is $7690... Someone had told me that before and I was unsure as well, but it turns out that they were right...

Can I just ask whether that price includes egg pick up and transfer?? That is usually done at a private hospital so is not included in the price of IVF. At both MIVF and Monash it is an extra $1200 or so (not rebateable unless you have PHI).

That's really odd cause I very specifically asked whether or not I had to pay everything upfront and then make a claim with medicare, and the person I spoke to said that no, that wasn't how it worked, I pay the GAP and they claim with Medicare the rest. Very strange.

I guess I'll find out when we go to our appointment there on February 8...

Yep n2l, it does include pickup and transfer, hospital and anesthetic fees- the procedures are done at the royal women's hospital in the city... :)

Mel- that's exactly what I thought until my appointment yesterday, and I was hoping and praying that I would only have to pay the gap... TFC will apply for the rebate for you but it isn't done until the end of your cycle... Fx'd you get a different answer though xxx

Bugger Jo... I hope you can make something happen quickly, it sucks having to wait when you're raring to go!!!

rai :hug: fx this is the one and you'll be UTD soon

AFM.... The dreaded witch just arrived.... Wouldn't you know it.... Day 28.... Never comes this early.... DH said about an hour ago... maybe you are pregnant, as I said I wasn't feeling well.... Ah.... No.... There's your answer honey... Anyway, I'm okay about it, even though secretly I was hoping something natural would happen.... At least she'll be gone by Monday when DH and I are off to a Japanese Mountain Retreat in the dandenongs for two nights :) I bought a 'romantic package' which includes massages, private bathing in a hot spring, Japanese banquet on one night and just all round niceness.... Now we will be able to take 'full advantage' of it :) :)

as for TTC.... I don't know what to do next... We are not doing AC for a while, I don't know when I'll be ready to get back into it, although I have in my head if I was ten kgs lighter at least, that would be a good start..... Maybe after April.... But that means ill be 37 when I have my first baby :( never wanted to be a first time mum at that age... But as DH keeps telling me just be happy if we get one... I'd just love three or four... But no chance of that now, I'll be pushing to get two... Lets hope that's a possibility....

Feeling a bit dizzy today.... Probably should go to bed, but..... :dunno: Now I'm babbling so ill sign off.... Till next time ladies xox

Bugger Myturn about AF :(

I was 4 days late this month and I didn't even think about being pregnant :(

I'm in the same boat as you TTC- I have 2 embryo's in the freezer- but I'm not really 'feeling' it at the moment.

I feel all blah and disappointed about IVF these days :(
Need to lose weight and get my head in the game.
I've started thinking about my DD being an only child- preparing myself in case I can't fall pregnant again....
I hate that LTTTC is so complicated and robbed us of 'normal' feelings!

myturn i had to accept i will be at least 37 when (not if ) i have my first child. i also want at least 2 so maybe we need to start wishing for twins :lol:

But, for the record, 1976 was a good year! ;)

Pfft to "37"!! At this rate I'll be 37 before I even cycle again!

bugger myturn ((big hugs))
i know how you feel Emma im over it too!

with our IVF Monash let us Just pay the Gap up front and we signed the forms for medicare which was a god send! (whinge...but useless after all that being it didnt achieve even one lil BFP for us lol) ( sorry but my situation is differnet to you so keep ur chin up its allways worth a chance.... and ill do it again :-)!)

does anybody know their AMH levels after 1 yr???
i got mine back and last yr they were 5.4 and a yr later they are now 5. is that ok? or are they dropping slow or quick? i dont know i gotta chat to FS i guess but we want to wait to do IVF for our private H.I to kick in which wont be till NOV. but not if it makes it sooo much harder!

any way my update is im 7DPO after a natural CY , DTD 2days before O so not much hope here lol ( er dont have much hope these days anyways!) ... no symptoms!

so id fall over haha if it happened, and then id run out of the house in my nightie with my peestick shouting to the neighbours BFP BFP! hahahahaha
good luck girlies xoxoxoxo

Hi ladies,

I'm tentatively dipping my toes in here again :hide: It looks like we are doing a cycle in March. We have finally settled on buying a tatts business where we trained at last year (a bit further away than we would have liked, but it was considerably cheaper). So I am getting a tad excited, but not too much excited as we have had plans last year and they all went to poo. So I look forward to catching up with you all again! I might not be on here too much as when I start doing some hours in the shop, plus doing some extra things with DS, I might be a little tied up than usual. I am sorry to have gone awol for a while, lol.

I really feel in my bones that this year will be great for many of us in terms of getting that lovely, long awaited BFP. For the first timers and for the rest of us too!
