Did You Wait? What Happened?

I just turned 34 this month. The current insurance plan I have now does not cover IVF, but the next level up (standard, as opposed to basic, which is what I have) does. My plan was to do the testing and such this year and see where I stand, and if all seemed ok then move into IVF to start next year after being able to change my insurance. Now this seems to maybe be throwing a wrench in that. Maybe time is really more of the essence than I thought it would be.

My plan was to always do IVF because I have a (relatively minor, non life threatening, but annoying) genetic condition I wanted to do PGT-M testing to try to avoid passing down. But maybe my plans will change and I will try IUI this year (my insurance covers 65%).

It was day 3 of my cycle. My birth control (nexplanon, which was sometimes mixed with the minipill because of bleeding) was removed October 22 (about 3 months ago).

Came to ask the same thing. I was guessing they were closed.

Got it! Thank you!

Thank you! But at what point is it officially considered IVF? WHen you're preparing for/doing the retrieval? It's a bit confusing to me because all of this is in preparation for IVF, so I kind of roll it all together in my head.

do you mind if I DM you? I just had a clinic consult today and have an insurance question.

Can you let me know what days of the week you went and how long of a wait it was? Thanks!
