| Thank you Liz. We are happy every single day about the pregnancy. When you wish for something your whole and continue to fail at it, you sure turn into a grateful person when you finally get it. Well, we're only 2/9ths of the way there so far. This is a critical period because it's about the time I miscarried with my first pregnancy.
It does seem rather pointless to see so many doctors. My OB was going to handle both the pregnancy and my diabetes, but I didn't like their approach. So I decided to let the endo handle it instead. I tried to get out of weekly appts with my OB, but he's worried about the baby's heart, so I get an ultrasound weekly and still have to see him.
I just thank goodness I'm unable to be off work for this. Although I'm not getting paid! Which is another thread I should start. My supplemental disability insurance is refusing coverage for my absence because they say "IVF is an elective procedure." I tell them, yes, but a lot of pregnancies are planned and therefore elective. It shouldn't matter HOW I got pregnant...
I'm having a time with insurance companies. Just like when we were in our car accident a few years ago, they refused to pay for things their policy states they should. We had to pay out of pocket and then they settled right before we took them to court. I guess the only way the insurance companies make money is to not pay it out for claims. They probably hope most people won't pay the things out of pocket and won't chase them for reimbursement.
Oh well.
I promise, I'll try to post much more positive things. Thank you for sharing your experiences and for giving me encouragement. I am always happy and relieved after I see the baby's heartbeat.  |
