    Beestrong- Good luck at your appointments with your new doctor. Hope it goes well Xx

    Juniper- Thinking of you honey.. How are you going? Xx

    Westy- I think most clinics are reluctant to give out pricing over the phone cause it can vary a lot depending on your needs and also depending whether or not you have PHI. Generally clinic fees do not cover things like hospital fees, anesthetist, treating doctor fees and non medicare claimable meds (like Crinone, Progynova etc). My last stim ivf cycle ended up costing about $11500 upfront and I recieved close to $5000 back in medicare rebates.. But bear in mind the out of pocket costs can vary from one clinic to another. I then pay about $3600 upfront per FET and get about $1400 back from Medicare. HTH Xx

    AFM- Counting down the hours till my FS appointment today. Had an all out melt down last night... I really need some answers!!

    Thanks for all the good wishes.

    Juniper, how are you going? I am thinking of you too.

    Awesty, I think first time I paid about $9830 ( About $8500 to Monash IVF for the precedure; $750 egg collection; $280 transfer; $300 for anaesthetics), I received about $5,300 refund. So you will be out of pocket about $4,500. Maybe different clinic has different price.

    I feel very gassy and acid in my stomach for a while, I was taking Zantac for more than 1.5 month, it seems not much help, so today I am going to see my doctor again to ask for the other tablets, hope it can help. I want to do the other stimulation cycle because I don't want to prepare for transfer and embryo is not surviving by defrost.
