Hello again!!!

So my DH had a meeting with the IVF specialist today to discuss his Biopsy.

The receptionist told me our referral was still current, that we had until April 2013..... but the lady at the desk today said it expired in April this year. I wouldn't have made the appointment if my referral wasn't current because you don't get any $$ back from Medicare. I am already frustrated with the whole process!! LOL

Anyway The doctor said all is good, we just got to call him when were ready to have it done, Its only a 2 week wait.
We don't want to do it until Mid 2013 as we have house renovations to do first!
The specialist recommends a OPEN BIOPSY. DH will require 2-3 weeks off work to heal.
For anyone who is wondering about costs the sperm collection (assuming there is any) is around $620 and you get around $420 back from Medicare.
For the scientist to attend its $325 (no Medicare rebate) and initial freezing costs are $300 for the first 3 months and $200 for every 3 months after that (no Medicare rebate).
