Let’s start with the happy
news that I finally paid off my HSG from last year. Hallelujah! Took me long
enough right?! Well that’s what happens when your insurance sucks and you are
forced to pay for everything out of pocket. I’m not comfortable going into debt
on the IF thing, so out of pocket in the form on easy monthly payments work for
us.
Just in time to have that paid off too because I’m fighting with my
insurance company over the blood work I had done. Apparently when the doctor’s
office submitted the paperwork, they coded it as infertility testing. Uh, no.
That’s not what it was for, but nice try. I spoke with my insurance company and
explained the situation and they advised my doctor’s office would have to
resubmit the paperwork coded correctly. So a few calls and a couple panic
attacks later the paperwork was recoded and resubmitted. It’s going through the
appeal process right now. Get this, if they still won’t cover it we have to pay
the full $3,300 bill. Yeah, talk about freaking out.
Speaking of my
blood work, interesting development. I called Doc’s office to schedule my
appointment to go over the game plan for trying again. You know, progesterone
when we’ll do beta’s and all that boring jazz. I remembered before I called that
she had mentioned some “mutation”, but said it wasn’t important and I dismissed
it thinking she was the Doc who was qualified to make that judgment. Well, when
I called to make my appointment I asked the receptionist to pull my chart and
just give me the name of the not important mutation.
MTHFR C677T Single
Mutation
What the what?! I’ve heard the ladies on the board talk about
MTHFR before so I knew there was a chance it wasn’t “not important”. I got to
googling everything I could about it and I think I know why she thought it
wasn’t important. Apparently the medical community is pretty divided about MTHFR
and if it really plays a role in recurring losses. She could be in the camp that
feels it doesn’t play a role. Well, as a woman who has had recurring losses if
there is something we can easily fix to prevent them, then let’s get on it. I
have a list of questions and such to go over with her. I’m sure she loves
patients like me.
On the adoption front, not much going on. It's March now (yay!) which means in a few short weeks we'll have our first information session. I'm really looking forward to it. We're also working on house crap (ugh) and I think I've finally picked out flooring. Then again by tomorrow I could have changed my mind.
