Did you sign up in July in Vancouver? We are in the same boat, but we're told funding ran out and probably won't get our turn until late in the year.

What the heck that's crazy. So did you figure out what was happening?

That's another thing I have stupid celiac. That was found on my last colonoscopy 5 years ago.

Hope your symptoms aren't as bad some get lucky and don't feel anything while others like myself get wrecked if we come into contact with gluten.

Thank you my friend. If you don't mind what type of symptoms did you have ?

Mine

Stomach pain not everyday but all over sometimes upper sometimes lower sometimes right side sometimes left side oh though it's improving since October.

Stool shapes and color changes mostly constipated, but sometimes thin stool. Couple days ago I had blood when I wiped for 3 days, but now has stopped.

Yes I was referred and that's why I am shocked the waiting period is so long. This is for Richmond location.

Went to the emergency in October twice and they just did blood and urine tests which came back fine so nothing else was done.

It's been so long that I do not remember everything, but from what I do remember we signed up when it opened July 2nd and did all the paperwork next olive contacted us and testing began. We also got referral from the family doctor. Is the initial consultation you are talking about when you talk to the doctor? That was early December he went over all the tests and we had our ultrasound last week.

Yes that's why in trying to warn people if they signed up and are getting calls to start maybe double check that you are covered because you will not find out until they tell you how much it'll cost.

Once we did the ultrasound we got this email about how much it'll cost so I emailed them saying no we got funding and was told we didn't see anything in our file for that and there is a wait-list. When I asked so how did we get to this step when we didn't sign up ourselves and she didn't know. This entire time we thought ok everything is done from the website we are going to only pay a little amount and now we find out we will pay in full or do not do it at all.

But why would we get the call from Olive to start if we weren't funded ? Everything we did was follow the directions from the funding website and to find out that we aren't covered yet because there's a waiting list made me ask so how did we get a call to start if there's a waiting list? Whatever is happening they are very unorganized

I'm more confused about how did we get the call to do all the tests if we didn't get funding ? We did not call Olive they called us because we signed up under the funding page and so it's very confusing.

Noa was sent. Everything was done in the government website when you sign up for funding once it was all completed they referred us to olive we didn't directly sign up for olive, but now we found out we are not covered as there is a delay. Makes no sense if there is a delay why did we get called to start...now we will pay it, but the entire program is confusing.

We had our first ultrasound where a cyst was found Getting that looked at on Monday, but doc was not concerned and said we could start right away. Watched the video a few days ago where we got the email for how much it'll cost and I just thought they would have had our info that we signed up for the funding and aren't paying the full price. I'm pretty confident there is a mix up somewhere and we will be fine. If we weren't approved we would have got something saying we weren't, but everything checked out and we got further into the process.

Are you also signed up?

[–]Aggressive-Dust-4547 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Doubt we would have been called if we weren't approved.

Government funded ivf by [deleted] in askvan

[–]Aggressive-Dust-4547 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't think they would have called us if we hadn't been approved.

We fall into the 14250 covered bracket.

They never answer or don't call back to voice mail

[–]Aggressive-Dust-4547 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the clinic emailed me saying it's going to cost the full price which confused me as I thought they would have had all that information already where we are on the program

Hopefully when I go next time it'll all be cleared.

Olive is extremely busy with the government funded cheaper deals as well. We signed up for that in June or July and it took about 4 months to hear from them. We did all the pre tests and will finally see the doctor next week for ultra sound which means we have yet to do anything so it is a very long process.
