In a funk...
I know I'm more of a lurker lately then a poster but I just needed to vent.
My son's father is being a real D-Bag and I can't even post about it because I'm scared he will somehow find it.
I haven't told anyone in real life but we finally decided to see a RE to only find out that neither of our insurances cover any of the fertility testing or freaking treatments. F YOU sh!tty insurance that is supposed to be great! While we could probably squeeze pennies to come up with the money or finance it, DH isn't wanting to put the money out since it isn't a guarantee. While I understand that it upsets me. 
Whenever people come to visit the new house the first thing they say is "now you need to work on a baby"... yeah thank you we are aware of that! Or if they see the spare bedroom they start talking nurseries. It pains me inside.
I'm sorry to whine, I'm just in a funk.
Re: In a funk...
I may not want to ask but is there a plan other than you DH not wanting to fork out the dough? I mean.....that kinda leaves you standing still. Does he get that? If I am out of line for asking just tell me to shut the eff up.
Is there a way for your doctor to do any of your testing and code it differently so that you can at least find out what is going on and if any of it matters?
ETA: Sorry you are in a funk but know that we are here for you any time. I can certainly relate to the RE, IF, Insurance issues well and will happy to lend a shoulder to vent on.
I am so sorry sweety.
You just vent away. We are here to listen!
Karrey - You aren't out of line at all. DH is being a butthead about it. I think the sheet that had the costs that the center gave us scared him. And depending on what treatment may be needed we could be talking about a lot of money. I talked about at least just starting out with the SA and bloodwork to just see what the problem is but I think he feels like if we know the problem and can't afford to fix it their will be resentment. I'm just so frustrated. I think he thinks the problem is him since I have a 9 year old, but I had some issues with my lady parts and cysts so I don't know if that could be it too. Either way, I think I'd feel better at least knowing and trying. I don't want to guilt him into, I want him to want to do it too. I don't want him to think of it as gambling away money. I mean what IF it works! Sorry that was so looong, so right now the plan is to just keep hoping that it happens, like we have for freaking over a year.
I will have to look into seeing about if the doc would code it a different way. I never thought of asking that. Thanks for the tip.
It just stinks that the insurance companies are so F'd up!
Thank you!
I had my regular doctor do most of my blood work to test for "thyroid" issues but they will all spit out the results you will need. We have to pay out of pocket for almost anything if it is related to D. Most recently being his SA. Lucky for me, my lap will be covered because of my endometriosis.
Not to put it back on you but there are TONS of people with secondary infertility. TONS. Did the doctor every suggest PCOS? I just saw that you mentioned cycts.
Ugh that sucks lady
Sorry to hear you are stressing.
I do think that to at least get the testing done is a good idea...then at least you knwo what you are dealing with and up against...I dont see why your DH would think resentment would come into it. None of us have control over what goes on inside us.
Sending you some T&P
Ditto! I hope you're feeling less funky soon.
Vent away- that's what we're here for.
Hope you're feeling better soon!
Vent away - that's what we're here, like pp's have said.
Haven't had TOO much issue w/insurance quite yet, but I have a feeling there will be issues coming up soon. I agree w/Karrey - maybe PCOS? I was mis-diagnosed w/it, but I know a lot of women aren't diagnosed that should be but their dr's are butt-heads.
