Hi there! I finally decided it was time to jump in on this board. I've dabbled a vey little bit on the TTGP board for a while now, but I feel like this is a better place for me to be.
My H and I have been TTC since August 2012. I'm now 38 (almost 39) and he is 35. At the 8 month mark, I inquired with my then-OB/GYN about a referral for testing and I was told "your insurance doesn't cover IF". Since I didn't trust her answer, I called my insurance company and inquired about coverage. I knew treatment was not covered, but when I asked about testing, I was told that testing was covered if there was a medically necessary reason for it. I was then told that medically necessary ≠ unable to get pregnant with well-timed sex. Essentially, I had to have something wrong with me. Since my cycles are almost textbook and I had already proven to her that I was ovulating every month, she said there was nothing she could do that wouldn't be lying.
Fast forward until last month, when my new PCP felt something odd near my right ovary during my annual. I had shared with her my frustration with my previous doctor and being unable to get referred for testing, so at first I thought she was being sympathetic and finding something that could qualify me for testing. Unfortunately, she really did feel something odd; two ultrasounds and an MRI later, it was diagnosed as a 9 cm pedunculated fibroid. I'm happy that I was finally referred for testing, but my insurance still has hoops to jump through before I can see an RE. My PCP referred me to the person in their OB/GYN division who specifically deals with people with gynecologic problems. I also spoke to someone at the only local RE office and they highly recommended her and said they generally accept the testing that she has ordered because they understand the insurance game. When I met with the GYN for my consult two weeks ago, she said that she'll make sure I get the RE referral for treatment. She said that she'll use the fibroid if nothing else is abnormal.
I had my HSG the day after my consult and both tubes were clear. I had my 7DPO labs earlier today and I'll be going next week for my CD3 labs. I'm excited to hopefully have answers, but I'm nervous as well since any treatment will be 100% OOP.
