Infertility

Back from baseline u/s...

...and the people I met with today were a lot more helpful.  For those who have not read my PPs, I have never been monitored before starting Clomid, so I called an made an appt for a baseline u/s and b/w today. 

I am on CD4 and my lining measured 5mm.  I had 24 immature follies in my right ovary and 10 in the left, but they had to push and shove to find the left.  I went to get blood drawn and they will call me with the results later.  I do have two small cysts on my ovaries, but the RE felt that these were due to ovulation, totally normal and should not prevent us from continuing with the next cycle.  Do these sound like good numbers?

In another interesting twist, the woman in charge of billing at the office said that my insurance may cover unlimited IUIs, but I have no IVF coverage.  Before she told me on the phone that I was only covered for three.  She said that she has no record of this conversation...  Ugh.

I will post later with my b/w numbers.  This is my first CD4 baseline appt, so I could use some guidance.  Thanks for reading :)

    It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

  • So glad you are being monitored! When I've had cyst as long as my E2 wasn't high or they were over a certain size I was fine to cycle, if not I had to break a month.
    After 3 years of infertility we were blessed with twin girls through private infant adoption.

  • I;m glad you are being monitered now. Just a word of caution about the insurance, call them yourself just to double check. My the financial person at my RE's office first ran my insurance, she told me we have unlimited coverage for everything. Come to find out, she forgot to enter the group # and that made all the difference. We are only covered for 6 cycles ( cany combo of IUI/IVF/FET) but only up to a $25,000 max. After this IVF, we have just about maxed ourself out Sad

  • I called the insurance company today to confirm what she told me and she was right - I have unlimited coverage for IUIs, but still no coverage for IVF :(

    At least it's better than I thought...
