I think I just received some of the most amazing news of my life.....

I am waiting on the call from the nurse to schedule my HSG and/or my Lap surgery.  For those of you that aren't familiar with this, these are procedures that will go in and inject a dye to see whether my tubes are open or if I have any blockages to and from my ovararies and the lap is to go in to remove all of my endometriosis, check for other issues internally and while they are in there flush my tubes, etc.  Lots of fun stuff right....

Most of you know that infertility is an EXTEREMLY expensive process.  Since I am diving head first right now, I called to make sure we would have all of the information necessary to know what we are dealing with $ wise. 

Now you remember how awesome of a deal it was that my pregnancy was going to cost me $20 bucks?  Well guess what?  My fertility treatment is going to cost me the same. 

I am moved to tears and am beyond excited.  I don't know how I ever got so lucky to have such amazing health covereage but I am stoked.  This is such a HUGE HUGE HUGE deal. 

Anyway sorry for being so overdramatic about this but noone has any idea how happy this makes me and I wanted to share.

  • Thank you for allowing me to share my news ladies!  I was actually shocked when she told me.  Even she was shocked when she told me.  lol.  She said that very few employers elect to cover 100%.  And because I opted for the level II tier, I dont even have a deductible so everything but the initiall copay is covered.  I am SOOOO excited.  K, ill shut up now.
  • I am beyond happy and excited for you!  What amazing news!

  • No wayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!

    That is seriously the most fabulous news there can be!!!! Wow lady! WOW!!!!

  • Karrey!!!! OMG! I can't believe you didn't know this until now (although I guess it's hard to find out until you actually have to use it) ...  but what GREAT news! So is it $20 per procedure? Does that cover everything? IUI, IVF, etc?

     

    happy day!!!!!!!

    Yup, it covers everything.  The only thing that it wont cover is if we were to get in to donor eggs or sperm and gene manipulation.  Given his great SA results and the fact that we have gotten pg before, I don't think we will have to get that far.  At least I sure as hell hope not.  My consult with my dr. will be $20 dollars but I have already paid that.  After this point, it is all considered to be under one diagnosis/treatment plan.
  • HOLY SH!T! That is INCREDIBLE! You have some wicked good coverage, sweetie! I am so happy to hear that you are going to be able to do everything possible to make your baby dreams come true! It just warms my heart!
