Needles here I come!

Thanks to Stephanie, I just made an appointment with the accupuncturist she sees in MI. I'll be out there this week and thought I'd take advantage of the recommendation.

I just had to say, it feels SO good to be back on the wagon of trying to do something! I was sort of at the end of tests and procedures to do with my doctor (other than drugs...) and it would be a lot of money for us to see a specialist up in Syracuse. But it's just nice to feel hopeful again. Maybe someone can help me figure out what's going on.

It is pricey... not as much as an RE. Thankfully (by a miracle) our insurance covered the semen analysis and my HSG 100%! (we were shocked!!) and so we really haven't invested any money in fertility treatments yet. This will be our first major investment.

My appointment is on Monday. I'll let you all know how it goes! :)

I'm kinda excited to hear how that goes! I don't have a needle phobia or anything, but I don't know how I would do with that.

Good luck! I'm shocked your insurance covered those tests. Not bad!

You may be able to get more covered in the way of fertility testing and treatment if you see a RE but have the OBGYN order the tests for you. I did this in the past and got a lot more covered. I don't know what it is, but an insurance company sees "Reproductive Endocrinology" and automatically won't cover it. But if an OBGYN in network orders a test, well...they're more liekly to cover it.

I've never had infertility testing not covered. Treatments are another matter. I always have to pay for my drugs 100% (except Clomid, but that's really not a fertility drug.)
