Well, today was our IVF class! Basically, we learned that I am going to be a pin cushion with all of the injections I will be taking over the next few months. They also gave us our specialized calendar and said I have a very low dosage of medications because I shoudn't have a hard time "stimulating", which means less pain AND less money! We also met with a financial counselor, who wasn't much help at all. She basically gave us the number to a medical financing place (which I already found online) and told us to call when we have the money. Gee, thanks lady. When we left I was pretty upset. I just felt like none of the stuff we learned mattered because we can't start without TESA. We have been arguing with insurance and the surgery center about insurance covering TESA, and we just had to keep waiting and waiting and nothing was happening. I was beginning to think we would never get the money to do TESA and this would all be for nothing.
When we were leaving NFC, we got a call from Nikki, the person at the surgery center dealing with the TESA/insurance crap. Well, insurance finally came through and the surgery is COVERED! that means we saved $1800. Also, Will doesnt need anesthesia because he can't feel it anyways, so thats aother $870 saved. That means we only need to come up with $3,975. Thanks to our fundraisers, we have made $3,950.. which leaves a grand total of $15 out of pocket!! WWOOOO HHHHOOOO!!! I am going to gather all of the money together, get it to the bank, and send it to NFC tomorrow, which is when the scheduler will call to set up the surgery! My whole day has turned around with this awesome news!
As for the rest of the money for IVF , we will have to take out a loan. boooo. BUT you gotta do what you gotta do I guess! Hopefully next time I blog it will be about TESA, but until then here is a picture of us on this wonderful day!! :)
