Hubby had a week off. It depends on what they do for work. Any lifting or walking and he probably should take more time off.
It was $800 for us. Nothing back from medicare and no phi.

Psychologically it was hard on both of us after. In the end we had it reversed as it felt wrong and unnatural to be 'infertile'
Hubby was only 24 though.
We also realized we weren't done.
So for us its not something ww would do again.
