Six Weeks and three days It's funny it all seems to be going so slowly, but then I look back at my posts and i realise how many days have past already!
I've got 9 days till my scan on the 26th can't wait to get that milestone under my belt. Had a freaky dream about it last night. Dreampt they found two heartbeats which I was thrilled about, but then they said my embryos were very small and they would have to keep any eye on me to make sure they were growing.
I think I dreampt this is because I responded well to the down regs but when they gave me the stim's I responded poorly and my eggs took ages to grow. Still it all turned out right in the end and thats all that matters.
Pixiemom I thought it was very interesting what you said about your insurance. Things work very differently over there.
I think over here more and more people who can afford it are taking out health insurance and some lucky people get it as a perk of their jobs - but they are in the minority.
Most of us rely on the National Health Service which we all pay for heavily in our taxes.
I think on the whole it's a good service ( I don't know what you other ladies think?) How ever it doesn't seem so good when people need specific help or certain med. We have had a lot of controversy about certain drugs only being available in certain parts of the country we call it a Postcode Lottery - and the same is true of IVF.
My county allowed me one go of IVF providing I'd had three goes if IUI.
Some county allow as many as three goes and other's I believe none at all!
The IUI I had to have at my local NHS hospital and we had to pay for all the meds even the IUI kit; but the IVF was done at a private hospital with NHS funding and I didn't have to pay for anything.
Now I get to go to the private hospital one more time for that first scan, but after that I'll be back in the regular NHS system with all the other none ivf mums to be. While we are pregnant we get all our perscriptions and dental treatment free.
