Mushroom sorry again for your loss. I was allowed to go ahead with fet as soon as hgc was below 5 and my af returned. It took a couple weeks for af to return after my hgc hit 5. The lab called today only one change to plan dr only says I need blood test no scan this time before transfer, good to have a date thou. Only thing is if all goes we'll the date fails on my nieces birthday so that prob blows asking my sister or mum to come down with me out of the water. I could just fly down and back same day but with something so important I would get paranoid about cancelled or delayed flights.

Great that you know what the plan is now. Do you have a supportive friend who'd be willing to go with you?

I have great friends but sadly they all have kids and are in Wellington. DH won't be able to get leave, so May just have to do it on my own. Normally wouldn't faze me but as it's our last frostie I am not sure how I will be. I think I will be fine thou.

Hmmmm Craftea, I think I will def be looking into it then. My scratch was def recommended by my doc. The agreement does stipulate only Buserelin, Gonal F, Puregon, Ovidril and Utrogestran to a certain amount.. and "additional" drugs used is on pay as you go ??? which confuses me then it doesn't say anything else about drugs not included, and the others are all part of fertility treatment. I did say to the receptionist that no I wasn't paying it cause it should be covered by my fertility cover... and I thought I would've had a statement to pay by now... so who knows, maybe it was an error? I'll look into it anyway, and the charge of the scratch  And speaking of my scratch, we have to take DD with us, as the appointment is after school and can't get cover to look after her... and I don't want her in the room when I'm having the scratch done (at 6 I don't think she needs to see that happen LOL she already knows too much about my IVF haha) but really wanted DH to come in with me.... but just to squeeze his hand if it hurts haha So I'm right there with you on having to do something alone Kiwi  Roubaix I loved Craftea's "WTF appointment" too haha Thanks Mushroom... my transfer can't come soon enough!!! LOL It's nice to see you back here  hopefully you'll be able to go ahead with your FET soon! I think before the year is out, there will be a few of us having transfers..... fingers crossed for a string of prexmas/xmas BFP's!!

That's interesting, we asked a couple of times what wasn't included, I can't remember exactly what they said bug it was mostly just things they'd give you a prescription for, and I understood it to mean that any drugs required to make IVF work was included (as in stims down reg trigger etc) not that it was specific brands/types of the drugs. I'll check my contract tonight!
Ah that's tricky juggling dd, maybe one of the staff could look after her while you're in there...it doesn't take long.
Haha yeah I read the WTF appt term on an American blog and thought it appropriate.
Bomb scare at uni today....just to add some excitement!

Oh Craftea I just read that on the herald online! I'm sure I heard on the radio this morning that Otago uni had been evacuated aswell due to a shooter threat??? Cool, will be interested to see what your contract says Craftea. I'm pretty sure we asked about the drugs and she said it was all included now that I think back to when we went in to sign. Wonder if it's just because it all went through super quickly it hadn't been updated or something on their system. I'm not sure DD will feel comfortable being left LOL she can be quite a shy girl and being at the clinic might be a little daunting for her LOL I should be fine if it's super quick... I'll just have to put my big girl panties on and go in alone  maybe have to squeeze a nurses hand if it hurts

Hey girls - at conference which is full on lol. Just wrapped drugs in towel with ice pack then put in fridge. Hasn't been an issue and what would you know I don't even need them haha. Not to worry.
Lots of chat and I'm buggered but hate to say it I always go alone to my treatments as dh is horrid at hospitals and would stress me more than help so he usually kills time during ec then I normally take myself to transfer. Know that seems weird but works for us. Sucks if you're feeling like you need a familiar face in the room though.
Big hugs - I'm off to rest my brain 😁😝

Hi ladies, BC I thinK i just need someone to squeeze if it hurts hahaha! Hope your conference is going ok, Auckland put on the weather for you yesterday, but not so much today! It's so windy!

Sorry I forgot, just checked now. It says the same as what you said....I guess I probably didn't ask about the drugs you got cos I've never used them. It doesn't mention a pay as you go amount for the scratching tho, and I definitely got that covered.....we'd been looking at signing up to a trail in the hope of getting that free but the dr said there wasn't much point if we did fert cover cos we could get it under that.

yeah could have been an error. Just don't go to the reception desk after your scratch - then they can't ask you for more $$ lol

Haha Craftea, my thoughts exactly! I never go back to reception once I've had a procedure done anyway

Eep BC - very exciting to be starting! Always bizzare being excited for AF - but that's our life isn't it!
Hope they sort of the costings soon Storm - I'd always assumed the cover would cover everything, and that FA would 'win some and lose some' with regards to how much it cost them vs what was paid. Definitely wouldn't be right to be paying for standard drugs on top of things.
Exciting with the upcoming transfer Kiwigirl - sucky hubby etc can't come. Could you try and make it a bit of a 'me' pamper session - get a massage/manicure/facial/something and treat the day as a private retreat for you?
a.girl - how are you doing?
Amy - you doing ok with your AF wait? Thinking of you.
Everyone else - hi!
AFM, after 36 hrs of the worst AF cramps ever (for me), am now bleeding, which is a relief. HCG was down to 130 on Weds, so dropping fast at least. More blood tests next week to see how things go - guess I just wait and see when I'll get back to below the magic 5.
