My best friend whom I love and adore, went through IVF and the month I was having a cycle off said to me "maybe you will get pregnant naturally" I'm like "really??? Your saying that to me??? after going through it 8 times yourself, your really saying it to me". We both looked at each other and burst our laughing...
Jane yep we are all normal :)
I went for acupuncture today and we did a bit of a debrief about ivf cycle. She asked about cm which I have to admit I was a little curious about where it has gone as I have nothing! Anyway she has given me some Chinese herbs... Yucko they taste bad. I am just taking them for the next 7 days which should cover o time :) because I am soooooo going to get a natural bfp before the end of this cycle lol as if!!!
Hi ladies I am still around stalking while having my break which will be for another few months for sure.
Just wanted to say keep your chin up and positive thoughts to everyone still trying. I feel a bit jealous cause I wish we could still be trying at the moment but life has other plans for a while for us......still hoping for a natural miracle on our break lol
Also wanted to congratulate all the wonderful ladies that got their bfp's. So happy for you and hope you have a happy healthy 9months.
Hugs and stickyvibes to everyone
Do any of you lovely ladies have PHI?
Does it cover anything to do with IVF?
It's all so confusing!

Emma, i only have extras cover. PHI only helps with egg pickup and transfer costs (costs of day bed). Otherwise nothing else is covered. Oh, except some medicines i think, depending on your cover.
Oh ok- thanks N2L.

I have hospital and extras - and I don't pay anything for the hospital bed for the EPU & ET - same as N2L - but it's all done without me having to fork over the money for that bit (at least)....
Your IVF clinic, should be able to tell you what is covered and what is not.... so maybe give them a call and see - they broke everything down into small parts and explained everything for me, so that helped me know what the costs were going to be every time.
Thanks myturn.
We don't have PHI- we should, and always think about getting it.
So now, I just wondered if it would help with this huge cost we are facing :-(

I think it would take 12 months before you could use it.
waiting period i mean
Ahhhhhhh- ok.
I'll save my money then- I think I'll need it!

It would only save you about $1300 a stim cycle.
Oh ok- think I need to read my booklet properly to see exactly what the FS has planned for us.
I think the cost is daunting as we have no idea how many cycles it may take!

I have spent over $50k :(
But then, i am the Queen of the BFNs ;)
WOW!
Do you mind me asking, how many cycles is that?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
six cycles of ovulation induction and nine ivf cycles (so far)
Oh ok- you've been through a lot.
I seriously, honestly, positively, hope you are the next BFP I see being announced :hug:

Thanks Emma :)
i think any bfp in this thread is a good one.
Agreed!
It's so hard when nobody IRL knows what we're going though.
People that haven't had issues with conceiving, just don't get it.
I know I didn't, before I found myself here- with no explanation.
