So apparenlty every year my insurance company requires day 3 BW. Ok not a problem. I went in wednesday for BW. I also started BCP that night in prep for my 3rd IVF (last one the insurance will cover before i'm OOP).
Anyway, I come out of my accupuncture appt today felling all relaxed, re-energized, and hopeful that third time will be the charm. I have a voice mail from my nurse, basically saying that the insuance got my day 3 BW and because my estrogen levels were so high they want me to have a "natural period" before they will approve the 3rd IVF. And that I should stop my BCP. Ug! Of course my estrogen levels would be high, they were jacking up my hormoned for the past severl weeks!
Its just frustrating because that basically puts us off about another month. We were planning on an ER in late Aug and ET in early Sept . . . but now it looks like we'll be in the Sept/October time frame!!!
It was too late to talk to my nurse, so i'll talk to her monday to get any questions answered.
I only took my BPC wed and thurs, so hopefully that won't affect my "natural period" too much.
I know I should be thankful that I have some coverage. It's just frustrating that's all. Not only is this the last one they'll pay for, but they are making me put it off another month!
FU Insurance . . . and FU IF!
Ok, I feel better now! (sort of)
