Hello, so a lot has
happened since the last time I posted.
(Actually nothing has happened at all.)
I found out that the
clinical study I was hoping to participate in is closed and therefor is no
longer an option. I would talk about it more and how difficult my reaction was,
but I don’t think I have the strength.
It’s a closed door and I
think I’m going to leave it at that.
Next on the agenda, I
have found a clinic in Georgia that charges around $7,000. They are only a few
hours away and even though they are new, I feel like I need to give them a try.
I have an appointment scheduled for the beginning of June and
I hope to start a cycle of IVF that month.
Here’s my dilemma:
My insurance will not pay for monitoring at a
home doctor’s office. Which means, I will have to drive 3 hours, several times,
for something as silly as blood work.
OR;
I pay out of pocket.
Shitty Right?
I can’t work with the RE
in town because I can’t afford them.
I am taking a risk by working with a doctor
who has only had their clinic open for a year. I have never felt comfortable
with working with people I don’t know or trust.
Not to mention, I have no
idea what I’m going to do about work!
But at a price like that, I have to at least
give them a shot.
To be fair they are not new doctors.
They have practiced for
over 25 years and the doctor that I would be working with was the first doctor
to perform IVF in Georgia.
He just moved back to
Georgia from a clinic in NY and has opened this new facility.
I hope the appointment
goes well and we and get the ball rolling quickly.
I need this phase of my
life to end.
I need to do IVF and either it will work or it
won’t but at least
I won’t have to talk about it anymore.
I’m not sleeping very
well and I am extremely on edge.
Not to mention I am so tired of hearing myself
talk about infertility,
It’s disgusting!
At this point I am going
to try and prepare as best I can for my June appointment,
Pray the doctor and I
mesh well and can start a cycle.
I will keep you updated
as info comes my way.
On another note;
The drug company EMD Sereno has a program to
help reduce the costs of IVF medication.
It’s called The Compassionate
Care Program
They accept people who do
not have infertility coverage and who
Meet the income
requirements.
The forms are easy and we
were accepted that day.
As long as my doctor prescribes their brand of
meds,
I will be receiving a 50%
discount on the drugs that company makes!
Exciting!!
I will attach a link to
the company website where the enrollment forms are,
I hope that at least
someone out there will benefit!
