Hi Sonya. Wow big bills too, but hey at least you got your lifetime guarantee hehe!!! Yep you can claim everything over the 1500 dollars. So stuff like hospital excess bills and all the stuff related to ivf, and then other stuff like dental and optical out of pocket. It sucks that we only get 20% back but i guess is better than nothing... Im trying to get as much as i can done this financial year hehe!!
Well, had my blood test today- we think is about day 7 in my cycle, getting ready to do first FET. We went in and first prob (damn there is Always something). My referral was out of date. So the admin lady says you need one and it needs to be back dated to day one of your cycle. By this time im frustrated because its the last thing i want right now. She said if i dont get backdated then i cant claim anything from cycle on ivf and then she got frustrated because i said i wasnt really sure what was day 1 because cycle had been bit up and down. Grrr. So went into nurse, and she was ok, but because of all the silly referral stuff i didnt get to ask all the questions i wanted to. Then she said, ok we will take the bloods and check a Beta Hcg too, im like hmmm. There's no way!!! We left the clinic, and i was cranky pants. Rang GP, got in today and got the referral back dated easy peasy!! Yippee. Then ivf nurse called this pm, and said that confirmed about day 7 in cycle yippee!!! And all was good...and that wasnt pregnant. Which i said good to, because it wouldnt be right straight after d&c. Estrogen level was 500 and LH 6. And they said have to see LH at about 20+ before a FET. More bloods on Sat. So all good so far... Wow, day did turn out ok.
Ellie, i read your posts about the immunology testing. Sounds really interesting, i read Flowerchild's post and that was fantastic. When i first started ivf and had initial bloods i asked them to check my clotting profiles as my nan has prothrombin gene mutation, ended up having a DVT when she was young, and had her leg amputated. I asked them to check for the specific gene but am not sure they did, just usual clotting profiles (which im not really sure what ones they do), so asked GP to test for specific gene today. Im a worrier and just want to make sure... Has anyone else tested positive for anything like this and had to be on meds???
Hi to everyone else, hope everyone is doing ok
BW- extra special good luck for tomorrow
