We had our meeting with the new fertility doctor. He's great. His office is great. We are really happy with our choice. Next step: labs by the handful. No sweat; we've been through this before.
I spoke with the financial counselor and it looked like we were covered by our insurance for IVF. No way! We were so excited. We had been concerned about the cost and as she laid it out for me, it looked like we were going to have to pay very little out of pocket.
I started to tell some of my friends that we were going to do IVF. I started to get excited again. All these emotions I had been stuffing down for the past 3 1/2 years were finally getting sorted out.
Then I got a message today from the financial counselor. Apparently we are not covered for IVF. What? I am really confused. I haven't been able to get a hold of her yet to find out what in the world is going on! I haven't gotten a cost sheet from her yet, so I have no idea what kind of costs we are talking about. I don't know what my insurance will cover.
And I am so depressed about all of this. It is the first blow in this roller coaster that is called IVF. You get your hopes up and then the ground falls out from underneath you. Negative thoughts begin to creep in. I'm pushing them away right now. I just want the facts, ma'am. Just the facts.
We are taking our girls to the Frozen Sing Along tonight. We need to get out and do something as a family before tax season takes over our lives. I think they will have a great time.
Until next time, keep your fingers crossed that this financial situation gets straightened out!
