It feels so good to be more than halfway through these birth control pills! I have a feeling from here on out, time will start moving faster. A week from today is my SHG, a week from Friday my meds arrive and my parents get into town, and on the 11th I swallow my last BC pill. So it will be a busy couple of weeks. I'm still a little nervous about the SHG, but I'm not going to let it get to me too much. It's just one more thing I need to do to get me closer to baby!
On the financial front, I found out some fan-freaking-tastic news yesterday!
Back in November, prior to all of this IVF stuff starting, I called my insurance co to see if anything was covered. Nope. Nada. Nothing. At least that's what I was told. I wasn't surprised since I know a lot of insurance plans don't cover infertility (which I feel is complete crap!)
Anyways, yesterday I received a call from the pharmacy supplying all of my meds telling me my insurance co won't let me use them because they're not in the network.
Huh? Why should it matter which pharmacy I use if they won't cover any of this anyways?
Well, guess what? Turns out I was given wrong info back in November. After a lengthy phone call with my insurance carrier, it turns out I have $7,500 lifetime to use for my IVF and in addition to that, ALL of my meds are covered!!!
I just sat on the phone speechless. That poor lady on the other end of the phone line had to reassure me over and over again that this wasn't a joke and I do in fact have this coverage!
It was like Christmas morning in March! I am SO grateful that we have this coverage, as now it will allow us to try up to 3 cycles if needed, instead of "possibly" trying 2. Although we will be using up all of our $7,500 for this first cycle, my meds will continue to be covered for a full year.
I feel so blessed!
