I'm just over half way through my 2WW not that I hold much hopes. I've made an appointment with Dr W DeAmbrosis (QFG) for February to consult about possible IVF (lap results permitting anyway) have any of you ladies had him for a Dr before?
No it doesnt cover at all. But I've had a lot of feedback from people saying that they dont actually give much back, majority comes back from medicare. One of the reasons I decided to go on the basic cover.
Hey emily - chin up i can only speak from my self but im sure the other ladys feel like they get set back after set back, at least now you know hubby has an issue also and you can work on that side of it. I was watching a documentry not long ago and they retrieved sperm from a man that either had no sperm count or had a vasectamy, they actually went in through the scrotum (sorry about spellin)i think and they actually got some swimmers so there is deffinately hope for you there
Morning Emily, well I’m glad to hear that I am not the only person without full health over that may need to use IVF. I have been procrastinating with it for months. If me and DH were to go on top cover it would cost around $220 a month and from what I too have heard you don’t get a lot more back regardless. So I haven’t got it yet but people say to me all the time that I should. Can I ask if you know roughly what it is going to cost you out of pocket yet? Not that it matters either way, I know that each and everyone of us would pay the world to get our little bundle of joys but good to know what we may be up for
about the health insurance, i asked my FS if it is worth getting my cousin on full health cover and he said not to worry about it cos will cost more so i think you will be right without it.
Im doing ok, just trying not to think about baby making at all for the moment. I had booked us all into councelling in january but i got a call today saying we might have to do different sessions so im waiting on a call back tomorrow so fingers crossed we can do it all on the same day still.
emily re the IVF cost, i have not long done it, i do not have any private health insurane at the end of it all i was out of pocket around $3000. Not much at all when you think about what is at the end Good luck..
I had my 12 week scan the other day all is perfect, bub is growing nicely and a nice fast heart rate of 154b/m. It was all so amazing we had to wake bubby up to get the nect measurements for the down syndrome test, we saw him/her do a nice big long stretch. It was beautiful. test came back 1 in 17999 chance which we are extremely happy with.
Funny now ppl are starting to put bets ofn the sex due to the heart rate..
Anyway hope everyone is well, and has a fantastic Xmas break..x
Hey Tamarra, thanks for the info about help insurance, I have been stressing about it for ages and now I feel much more at ease that I have made the right choice as it would cost me over $2500 per year to be on full cover for me and hubby anyway. Good luck with the phonecall.
Hey Frustrated, so good to hear from you. Very glad to hear that everything is going well, you sound like you are starting to relax and enjoy the pregnancy which is fantastic. Also thank you for letting us know what it acctually cost you, I get so many hear say confussing stories, its great to hear from someone who has just been through it.
As for me...well I am currently very excited. Whilst I thought I was going to have to wait until mid March for my Lap, I got a phonecall yesterday morning and I am now booked in on Jan 14th. Crazy I know to be excited about surgery but I hate waiting as I'm sure you can all relate to. So now I will continue to stay off Clomid until then, if my period ever arrives. On day 34 now and it still hasn't shown it's ugly head. Might do a test tomorrow just to be sure.
