We were supposed to do IVF #3 this month, but I switched insurance recently and they are making me do the Clomid Challenge Test again! WTF? I can understand they want to check FSH but this seems ridiculous.

Re: Delays, delays, delays
Hoping that you are one of those "we were waiting to cycle for IVF and got pregnant" stories too!! It really sucks when insurance is calling the shots instead of our REs. We got delayed a whole month when we changed insurance, all because R
