But at least you have the results now and can move on from here. I would definitely look at what your insurance will cover to figure out finances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-my-patience-today#post-1368658 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 21:02:29 +0000 swedishfish 1368658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: talk to the RE's billing office to see if they can work something out for you. Does your insurance cover IVF at all? We did IVF with ICSI because my husband had issues and it worked for us. Yeah...my MIL said some things to us that were meant to be helpful but really hurt me at the time. Hugs. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-my-patience-today#post-1368608 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 20:52:01 +0000 mrsbookworm 1368608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: I'm sorry that the news wasn't better.

My RE wants to freeze his sample 3-4 more times then proceed with IVF and ICSI. My concern is the cost of all that freezing and if the odds are good enough to make it worth it. I'm crushed, and my mom doesn't understand. She actually said I should just use donor sperm. WTF, mom? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-my-patience-today#post-1368385 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 19:48:01 +0000 swedishfish 1368385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: is surgical sperm removal an option?

We just got the news, and it's not good. He only has a few sperm in the whole sample. Like, 2 or 3.

I called again and left a message again. They said she would call back before 5.

Trying back after 10 am...... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-my-patience-today#post-1365786 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 23:13:24 +0000 macintosh 1365786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I'm sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy. I better calm down about the SA or I'll never make it to the betas :)</p> <p>@78h2o: Thank you! I doubt they were closed due to the snow. It was only a few inches - this is Chicago! They just have weird hours.</p> <p>@Happygal: Thank you. We suspect a slightly low count due to low testosterone, I just hope it's not too bad for IUI. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-my-patience-today#post-1365684 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 22:08:27 +0000 Happygal 1365684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: I"m so sorry you're dealing with these frustrating things. Let us know how it works out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-my-patience-today#post-1365640 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 21:43:46 +0000 78h2o 1365640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: Just want to say that it's since to see you on HB! I remember reading about your DH on WB. I am so glad your DH is doing well and you guys are working on starting a family. Crossing my fingers that you get good results (and soon). Was the office closed due to snow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-my-patience-today#post-1365557 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 21:11:58 +0000 LindsayInNY 1365557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I went for my betas before I knew it was a chemical pregnancy, I went on a Thursday, miscarried on Sunday and went back for repeat betas on Monday. After Thursday, I was told they could have results Friday if it went out to the lab in time otherwise on Monday. By then it was too late. What frustrated me was that I had to call my doctor both times to follow up. They have to know how stressful this is for us. Why wait to call?! I'd even love just a call that they're not back yet. It's so frustrating. Hope you get some answers tomorrow!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-my-patience-today#post-1365517 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:50:51 +0000 macintosh 1365517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kentuckygirl and @mrsbookworm: thank you, I knew you ladies would understand.</p> <p>@grizz: thank you! We are so thrilled that he has come this far.</p> <p>On top of everything, it snowed last night which means i have to fight with my landlords about snow removal. No matter how many times i ask (and threaten...) they don't get how to make an accessible path for a wheelchair. That certainly doesn't help my frustration level! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-my-patience-today#post-1365488 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:28:25 +0000 Boheme 1365488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so frustrating :( </p> <p>Also - I am so happy to see you here, and so happy you guys are working on having a little one. I remember you from WB and prayed for you both often! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-my-patience-today#post-1365469 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:20:14 +0000 mrsbookworm 1365469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, waiting is the worst! Hope you get positive news first thing in the am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-my-patience-today#post-1365453 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:11:57 +0000 kentuckygirl 1365453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs! I found situations similar to this so frustrating. You would think a specialist's office would understand how important those results are to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-my-patience-today#post-1365443 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:05:11 +0000 swedishfish 1365443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: call first thing and leave a message. It did take a while to hear back from my nurse and that was frustrating. We tried IUI and it didn't work. IVF with ICSI worked for us though. Hopefully you won't have to go that route but it was not as bad as I thought it would be. Hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-my-patience-today#post-1365434 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 20:01:22 +0000 macintosh 1365434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: thanks for commenting. I'm sure they will be open by 7 or 8 tomorrow, but sometimes it's hard to get in touch with my coordinator when they're busy.</p> <p>@cheert16: I know, I never imagined it would take so long! Thanks for the hugs.</p> <p>I think the more I worry about it the more I convince myself that it's going to be bad news. I'm afraid we'll need to do IVF, which means we'll have to probably wait til March. DH and I just want our own LO soon! </p>
