Hey there all,

Firstly, a Q for you all. Anyone heard that DTD more with DH etc increases estrogene levels??? Think we need to try this to increase mine :P

Nix - Im not 100% at the moment what the cost of just the IVF and ICSI would be but I know our bill all up which is IVF, ICSI and PGD before any Medicare rebate etc is $12250. Thats with a little taken out from private health insurance (before starting I looked into it and it wasn't worth paying the extra premium and waiting the 12mth waiting period, only to get back almost exactly the same amount as what the difference we would pay between the standard cover and increased cover over the waiting period time. E.g. would cost us $1300 in extra premium for the 12mth waiting period just to have ivf covered by them but would then only get back approx $1300 from health fund). Then on top of that we had to pay for the PGD work up which was $1545 and can only be claimed through tax, no rebate from medicare or health fund and then there is the cost of the Lucrin $295 which again is claimable from no one other than at tax time, provided you hit the $1500 threshold!!!
So hopefully you can see why I want to get lots and lots of eggs and sort it all out.

Spoke with the Nurse earlier and she has all my Q's written down and when she speaks with FS tomorrow about my BT results (have a BT tomorrow) will ask him. If its something we can fix, I want to fix it now and hopefully salvage this cycle. I even asked about another one before the end of the year. She said it was certainly an option but need to see what FS says. FX though that we can start straight after this one if it goes belly up again!!!! But its not going to, Im going to stay positive.
