None of it covered by insurance? My RE somehow coded it funny so that it ended up not being a fertility treatment and got covered like anything else. Even the IUI was just an 'in office procedure'. So I got pretty lucky with my monitoring for TI and IUI.<br /> Though I found out through my IVF cycles that if I did my bloodwork and ultrasounds outside of the RE office (I had to since my RE was out of state) that it also did not get coded as fertility treatment and was covered under diagnosis for endocrine disorder or something like that. I guess since Quest/Labcorp and the ultrasound clinic technically weren't fertility centers, they couldn't even bill as such even though it was for a IVF cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-monitored-timed-intercourse-cycle#post-2831347 Fri, 29 Jun 2018 12:41:38 +0000 FaithFertility 2831347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My RE was $750-800 for a monitored IUI cycle that's with clomid inuded </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-monitored-timed-intercourse-cycle#post-2831324 Fri, 29 Jun 2018 11:25:25 +0000 afc061018 2831324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: Here's how it worked out for me on my last cycle. The only things covered by insurance are my ultrasounds.</p> <p>Monitoring = $120:<br /> Copay: $35 at both CD3 and midcycle apts.<br /> CD3 bloodwork: $25 + again at midcycle scan<br /> CD3 scan: $250 but covered by insurance + again at midcyle scan (so, I didn't have to pay for this)</p> <p>Meds + IUI = $880 (I can break that down if you're interested too) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-monitored-timed-intercourse-cycle#post-2831166 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 19:02:59 +0000 LAZB 2831166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meds are about $200 on top of the other stuff, so $900 each month is a tough pill to swallow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-monitored-timed-intercourse-cycle#post-2831164 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 18:53:23 +0000 dc yoga bee 2831164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Each ultrasound (3 total) is $150 out of pocket, trigger shot I ended up not even needing was $75 (insurance didn’t cover), progesterone was $20 (insurance covered). So almost $550. Pregnant and hoping beyond hope this baby sticks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-monitored-timed-intercourse-cycle#post-2831160 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 18:26:16 +0000 crazydoglady 2831160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was nearly 500 dollars just for the mid cycle scan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-monitored-timed-intercourse-cycle#post-2831149 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 16:47:24 +0000 KT326 2831149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first RE, we did Clomid and TI. I was with Kaiser so everything was billed separately. I think it was $137 for each blood draw, $125 for each ultrasound and $50 for meds. Each cycle I had 2 blood draws, CD3 and a week after "ovulation" (I never actually ovulated), and 2-4 ultrasounds to check follicles. We did 4 cycles with Clomid and 2 cycles with Femara before I called it quits and found a new RE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-monitored-timed-intercourse-cycle#post-2831148 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 16:34:30 +0000 Sams Mom 2831148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For bloodwork, ultrasound, and meds (clomid no trigger) it's about $250 after insurance for me.</p> <p>ETA: the cyst check is just a pelvic exam for me, but if I did the follicle scan it would the $250 I said. If I had 2 ultrasounds a cycle it would be about $350-375? total </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-monitored-timed-intercourse-cycle#post-2831147 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 16:33:06 +0000 MamaBear87 2831147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not the same but I had a t/v ultrasound, that my pcp decided needed to be done that day, so I couldn't price things out. That was 550 dollars all by itself so 700 for 2 ultrasounds and blood work doesn't seem so bad. Our Healthcare system sucks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-monitored-timed-intercourse-cycle#post-2831141 Thu, 28 Jun 2018 16:04:51 +0000 LAZB 2831141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just as the title says, what did it cost you?</p> <p>For my RE, it is $700, not including meds. It seems like so much for just the baseline blood work, cd3 scan to check for cysts, and mid cycle follicle scan, but I’m assuming it’s normal? Just curious how it compares to others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regret-telling-family#post-2076203 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 09:19:11 +0000 LuLu Mom 2076203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Warbler: BHAHA Yes I agree, less helpful and just more supportive would be best. No one should feel the need to openly talk about sperm at a family gathering ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regret-telling-family#post-2075888 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 21:29:07 +0000 Warbler 2075888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MRSWIN: I am hopeful that IVF could work for us, my husband is less hopeful. He is currently taking Fertalaid, Count Boost and Motility Boost to improve things and getting acupuncture. But, he recently had another SA done and although some of his numbers look like they've improved, his doctor said the count was still very low and our chances were slim. My husband is pretty down lately :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regret-telling-family#post-2075827 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 20:21:03 +0000 mrswin 2075827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Warbler: I agree, the offer from your FIL is awkward for sure but people don't know what to say in these situations so sometimes they do weird things! haha</p> <p>Our main issues were MFI related although I have DOR and endo and our IVF was successful on our first fresh cycle. Is there a reason that you think IVF won't be successful in your case?</p> <p>ETA: I didn't answer your main question... no I don't regret telling our family what was going on. We waited until we got into treatments before saying anything to anyone and only shared with our parents and siblings. In general they have been very supportive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regret-telling-family#post-2075805 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 19:54:34 +0000 Warbler 2075805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ineebee: My in-laws are also really sweet, well-meaning people. They're just kind of socially awkward I think, so don't really consider who their words will be taken I guess!<br /> @LuLu Mom: Yes, they do try really hard to help us out...just maybe they need to be a little less helpful? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regret-telling-family#post-2075719 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 17:59:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 2075719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WOW! I could never carry my FIL's baby...BIL, cousin, nope couldn't do it, I would be more comfortable with a stranger honestly. But on a positive note, they are being supportive (or trying to be) and that's nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regret-telling-family#post-2075711 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 17:53:34 +0000 ineebee 2075711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First of all, that would definitely weird me out, too! </p> <p>I did regret telling my MIL (she was sick and was living with us during our treatments, so it was impossible to keep it from her.). She's very, very sweet and unimposing, but most of my regrets stem from her trying to be helpful, but her "advice" came off as her implying that I should've done/should do things differently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regret-telling-family#post-2075527 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 15:38:20 +0000 jaguar 2075527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't regret telling people at all, because most have been incredibly supportive - but that offer is a little weird! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regret-telling-family#post-2075506 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 15:21:25 +0000 Warbler 2075506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: Wow! I didn't hear about that story. On the one hand, I kind of think it's awesome that she's looking out for her daughter's future wants/needs, but that would be a really awkward thing to disclose to her daughter one day! And at the end of the article it mentions that eggs can be stored for up to 10 years in the UK. So they would only be viable until her daughter is 17?<br /> @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Thank you! I would be willing to undergo embryo adoption as a back-up plan, but not my FIL's sperm. I feel like the future child would take us all on Maury one day haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-regret-telling-family#post-2075436 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 14:46:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2075436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A donor is a donor is just not true! I'd pick a stranger's egg and sperm over a family members especially my FIL. There's something weirding me out about the dual familial relationship child and parent would have.</p> <p>@Warbler: I feel for you. {Hugs} </p>
