hello all,

i have just finished testing for IVF and will probably start in March (after we return from vacation).

i am so confused about so many things. not sure how to read the results of bloodwork, etc. but whenever i google, i end up here. so i decided to sign up since there seems to be so much useful information here. but not sure where to start!

so i will introduce myself. i am 39, had a tubal, and now am going to start IVF. nurses say my numbers look good. we are going to pay for 2 cycles.  hoping it works out on the first try.

haven't started on any meds, but they are already listed in my patient portal, and insurance covers it (thankfully!).

    Wow you are very lucky your insurance covers the medication.  That was the only thing mine didn't cover and I had to spend about $5000 on meds alone.

    That's what they told me too, about 5k. I was mortified, since we are doing 2 cycles and that's $6k. 

     I work at a college, if I was a professor, IVF would be covered up to 25k! But, glad we all have the same prescription plan. 

     Does anyone know if there is a thread for those trying to conceive after tubal? I briefly looked....
