Is doing a FET unusual?

Or are OB offices just clueless on how to code for FETs in your medical records?

The last time I went to the OB, my paperwork said that my egg donor was 32. I am AMA now, so I guess it makes a difference that my egg is younger. So I told the nurse that it was my embryo from when I was 32 and it was frozen. The nurse told me she would fix the coding. Then today, the MFM called w results of my NT blood work and again mentioned this 32 year old egg donor. I told her that it was my embryo with my egg and she basically acted like she didn't care.

They have all my records from the RE. Why is this so confusing?

    That sounds like some of the moron doctors I have had to deal with...only on top of that my insurance would then use the incorrect coding to somehow deny coverage.

    I bet that it's just the only way they have to code the fact that the embies were younger than you are now. It's interesting though b/c I am AMA but my embies are not and I haven't run into this problem. At least they have the age right for any genetic te

    I don't think it's unusual but I remember having to go through the fact that it was my egg (from a fresh IVF) every time I went to the MFM last time. Not a donor.

    I'm guessing as well that it's the only way they have to reflect an egg younger than the expectant mother.  Given this should I be happy that my frozen embryo was from when I was 36 so it will be considered an "old" embryo no matter what my age is

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
