A Little Bit of Good News

MJC1116

DH got our Explanation of Benefits today and we found out that our insurance has covered all of our ultrasounds for our infertility treatment and diagnostic testing. At first, they wouldn't cover anything from our fertility clinic, but that's changed now. So each ultrasound only costs $11 instead of $200! Woo hoo! Since we already paid for 6 of them, we have a pretty good chunk of change either coming back to us to buy more meds for a 3rd iui if need be, or we can hopefully use it as a credit for the IUI procedures. It's kind of a pain being completely OOP. I think that's partially why the BFN was so frustrating -- all that money for nothing.

I had my CD 3 ultrasound today. It feels so good to get started again, and I'm not nearly as nervous anymore. I have 17 small follicles, no cysts, no polyps - thank goodness. RE seemed disappointed that I started my period... she said everything was great last time around, leading her to guess that conception was about a 20% chance. She said that we are going to proceed with the same protocol and that if this course of action is going to work for us, that it'll happen fast... 3-4 months. I'm hopeful and trying to see things more positively. I'm not sure DH and I will proceed with IVF if we don't get pregnant.

But I'm in a good place now, so much thanks to all of you for your support. Sunday's breakdown was the lowest point in my IF journey, but I've been trying to heal by re-reading some helpful books. I've decided that the past is the past, nothing I can do can change that Instead, every decision made, ever low point, every dollar spent, every needle injected... all of it has taken DH and I one step closer to our baby. And at some point, when we meet our baby, I know this IF journey will have been worth every single moment.

Thanks for helping me through my darkest hour, ladies!

So glad that you are in a good place, keep positive - I'm sure it will happen soon for you. Unfortunately, we don't get to be cycle buddies this time.

Good luck! Glad you are in better place! What books are you reading? I'm either headed for a massive breakdown or on the verge- anything that might help would be great! Great news on the insurance!!!
