Secondary IF

Bad News & Hopeful News

So, I got DH SA results. Not very good. 6 mil count, good formation, really bad motility. So I guess our only option is going to be IVF. So I called the insurance company to find out what we have covered and we have $15,000 each. A little has been used already on our previous IUI's but there is still most of that left. So even though I got really bad SA results, I'm still a little hopeful. Now to discuss all this with DH. He's been really touchy about IF lately, so this conversation will be interesting.

  • Sorry to hear you got bad news.  Hopefully your conversation goes better than imagined.  I'm glad you have some coverage too.  We are 100% OOP.

  • Thanks everyone. The conversation went better than I was expecting. Need to call and get more clarification on our coverage and figure out how much IVF will cost with our provider.

  • I'm sorry.  That's got to be so disappointing.  But what great coverage!  We're entirely OOP, I'm so jealous that your insurance covers anything!

    Not that this is about me.  I'm sorry for the tangent and good luck!
