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.

Oh Jasmine you poor thing I know those meltdowns not nice :( hope you get some answers and a good plan in place today.
Thinking of you today Juniper hope you're ok.
Bestrong I suffer with reflux on and off and I found just taking a really good probiotic, half teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a drop of water and liquorice tea helps as I didn't want to be on any meds while doing ivf and its worked for me.
Hi Awesy. Yep I think all in with IVF, icsi, anaesthetist, hospital excess and meds we paid around $11000 upfront for our first ivf and got about $5000 ish back from medicare

awesty, that sounds right. You have to have an appt with a nurse before you can start IVF with QFG. If you contact the clinic, they should be able to provide you with a fact sheet that outlines basic cost estimates. You can also find some estimates on their website.
Jasmine, hoping you get answers. :hug:
Bestrong, we always preferred to have more than one available for FET, but we only ever had 3 embryos to freeze (out of 5 fresh cycles), so our second FET we only had 1 to thaw and I was so worried it wouldn't make it (one 1 of the other 2 had survived the thaw), but it thawed without losing any cells (perfect thaw). Still BFN though...
Bunnyfeet, it's still saying you're only a Registered User, which means I still can't send you a PM. Not sure if a mod can explain that for us? Or tell us who to ask for help? If we can't get to the bottom of it by today, I'll just put the name of the place in a post here and then delete it after you've read it.
Afm, had some light bleeding last night (after a BM), but hasn't progressed to full AF yet. Still spotting though and feel like crap (crampy and, therefore, irritable)! Just want it over and done with for another month... :(
-
Juniper I'm not sure what is happening with that. I can give u my email address or if you want to post it here and we can delete after. Did u go for BT?
-
No, didn't go for b/t. Stayed up until 2am, didn't get to sleep until almost 3am, wasn't getting up at 5am for b/t... ;)
If you're around now, we can do the post and delete option. I'll check back in 5 mins...

Juniper I'm so sorry about af I was really hoping you were wrong:-(
CatyO I'm sorry hcg is taking so long to go down. I agree with juniper acupuncture is amazing
